In a recent revelation, Danny Röhl shared that Sheffield Wednesday contested the decision to red-card Di’Shon Bernard last match. The Owls faced a setback against Luton Town as the defender was sent off for a perceived handball, allowing Luton to turn the game around with a brace from Carlton Morris.
This loss marked Sheffield’s fifth consecutive winless match in the Championship, placing them alongside Cardiff City as the poorest performers in the last five games. Their upcoming clash with league leaders West Bromwich Albion will be without Bernard due to the unsuccessful appeal made by the club.
Röhl, addressing the media before the West Brom game, expressed their efforts to appeal the red card decision but acknowledged its failure. The focus now shifts to the next fixture, with little control over past events. This turn of events granted Michael Ihiekwe a chance from the bench, having been omitted from the starting lineup after a full match against Queens Park Rangers.
The joy for Sheffield fans largely lies in cup competitions, with recent victories in the League Cup, including overcoming Blackpool. A draw against Premier League outfit Brentford awaits them on October 30th in a fixture away from home.
