Derby-day defeat to Sheffield United may have hindered Sheffield Wednesday’s play-off push, but supporters can still be pleased with the season they have had.
Under the guidance of Danny Rohl, the Owls have transformed from being on the brink of relegation last season to a team with aspirations of a top-six finish. Unfortunately, a shot at promotion now seems unlikely, but the foundations are in place for a strong campaign next year.
This could be reliant on Rohl remaining in post. At the same time, keeping the core of the squad intact and making shrewd additions will be crucial for any hopes they do have.
Standout performers this campaign include Djeidi Gassama, Shea Charles, Josh Windass, and the ever-reliable Barry Bannan.
However, with an ageing squad, the head coach may need to request that Dejphon Chansiri invests in the transfer market, potentially through player sales to fund new additions.
Of course, transfer windows always involve departures, and sometimes it’s the players you least want to see go. For Wednesday, there is one player they will be concerned about losing, but if they receive a substantial return on him, the fanbase may deem it acceptable.
Speaking to Football League World about what individual would attract the largest transfer fee, Sheffield Wednesday fan pundit, Patrick McKenna name-dropped Gassama.
