Danny Rohl faced disappointment as Sheffield Wednesday settled for a draw against Cardiff City, potentially due to a crucial decision error. The Owls’ fans were left disheartened after a frustrating 1-1 draw following the international break, with expectations high for a win against struggling Cardiff.
Despite an initial strong performance by Wednesday, they fell behind early but managed to equalize through Di’Shon Bernard. However, a lackluster second half saw them share points with Cardiff.
Criticism was aimed at Shea Charles for a subpar display, while pundit John Pearson spotlighted Marvin Johnson’s inefficiency as a full-back, suggesting he excels more as a wing-back. Rohl’s decision to persist with Johnson in the left-back role has not yielded positive outcomes for the team or the player, as Johnson’s potential is best unleashed on the wing.
Johnson, with 14 Championship appearances and two assists this season, is approaching the end of his contract with no news of a potential extension. Despite this uncertainty, Johnson expressed willingness to consider a new deal, indicating his current satisfaction at the club.
As Rohl considers contract renewals for other players, including Pol Valentin and the injured Aki Famewo, questions remain about Johnson’s role and future at Sheffield Wednesday.
