Danny Röhl, the manager of Sheffield Wednesday, firmly believes that the outcome of football matches should be determined by the players themselves, not influenced by external factors. In a disappointing turn of events, Wednesday suffered a bitter defeat at Kenilworth Road against Luton Town, losing 2-1 following a contentious red card decision against Di’Shon Bernard. This pivotal moment allowed Carlton Morris to secure a brace and seal the victory for the hosts.

This defeat marked the second consecutive week where the Owls squandered a lead, with Barry Bannan initially putting them ahead with a remarkable goal. Despite the frustrating result, Röhl commended his players for their performance on the field. In an interview with Radio Sheffield post-match, he expressed his disappointment over the contentious decisions but also praised the team for their efforts, emphasizing the missed opportunities that could have changed the outcome in their favor.

Röhl highlighted the need for on-field actions to dictate the game’s course rather than relying on external influences, echoing his belief that the players should be the ones determining the result. Despite their current struggles placing them 21st in the Championship and extending their winless streak, Röhl remains hopeful for a turnaround in fortunes and emphasized the importance of players’ contributions in shaping the team’s fate.
