SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY head coach Danny Rohl commended the impressive display of Leeds United following their commanding performance at Hillsborough. Reflecting on his team’s shortcomings, Rohl acknowledged the lack of resilience that proved costly for Wednesday.

Following their spectacular 4-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle in the season opener, Wednesday’s momentum was halted by successive defeats to Sunderland and Leeds, offering a stark reality check. Having maintained an unbeaten home record since their loss to Leeds in March, Wednesday faced a formidable challenge from the visitors, who secured a win through goals from Brenden Aaronson and Dan James.

Rohl noted Leeds’ strength and quality, emphasizing the importance of executing the right strategies against such formidable opponents. While acknowledging the need for luck at times, Rohl highlighted the defensive lapses that allowed Leeds to capitalize on opportunities, particularly pointing out the vulnerability in certain situations that led to conceding goals.

Recognizing the importance of resilience when facing tough opposition, Rohl stressed the need for unity and teamwork in overcoming adversity on the field. Despite the difficulty of the match, Rohl emphasized the lessons to be learned from the experience and the necessity of standing together as a team in challenging moments.
