For the first time this season, Sheffield Wednesday have finally got to where they need to be but manager Danny Rohl has told them to keep striving for more.
A 3-1 win at Blackburn Rovers lifted the Owls out of the Championship’s bottom three. They were out after the first weekend by dint of having lost their first game less badly, but not since. Rather than bask in it, Rohl was talking about reeling in the teams above in the remaining two matches. Goal difference means four are realistically in range. “The clear message is it's not about defending our position, it's about attacking the next position, to try and climb the table,” he insisted.
” He played down the significance of finally being out of the bottom three, and of the fact his side have been in a relegation battle whereas teams such as Blackburn – two points ahead – have only been dragged into it in the spring. “It's a good step to come out of the zone but the belief and the conviction was still there,” he said. “I remember saying after the Birmingham game we never give up. After the Huddersfield game it was also hard to come back.
