“It’s about who can help you” Sheffield Wednesday to consider major selection decisions for QPR…
Crucial decisions loom ahead for Sheffield Wednesday as they prepare for their upcoming clash against QPR. The aftermath of Monday’s disheartening loss to Middlesbrough has prompted manager Danny Röhl to reassess his lineup and tactics in a bid to reignite their fight for survival in the league.
With just two points keeping them adrift of safety and only six matches left in the season, time is of the essence for Wednesday. Meanwhile, QPR, once languishing in the relegation zone, have seen a resurgence with two consecutive wins propelling them to 16th place in a tightly contested lower half of the table.
Röhl received a boost with the return of Ian Poveda from injury, who was sidelined for much of the international break. Additionally, Barry Bannan, recovering from an injury sustained during the break, made a significant contribution in the recent fixture against Swansea City and played the full match against Middlesbrough. Another key player expected to feature prominently is Josh Windass, who hasn’t seen action since January.
Reflecting on the challenges of reintegrating returning players into the squad, Röhl emphasized the importance of striking a balance between readiness and fitness levels. With only a handful of games remaining, the coach emphasized the need to assess who is in peak form and can make a meaningful impact on the pitch.
“There’s a difference between being available and being Championship-fit,” Röhl remarked. “We’ve seen instances where players returning from injury lack the rhythm required for this level of play. In our current situation, it’s crucial to evaluate who is in sync with the team and can contribute effectively.”
Acknowledging the fluctuating performances of players, Röhl maintained his stance of supporting and protecting his team, despite the disappointment of Monday’s result. As Wednesday gears up for the crucial fixture against QPR, the focus remains on selecting a lineup that can deliver the much-needed results in their battle for survival.
