SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY head coach Danny Rohl says the the feats of Sammie Szmodics highlight the difference between his own side and weekend opponents and fellow strugglers Blackburn Rovers - whom the Owls visit on Sunday lunch-time.
Szmodics is the leading goalscorer in the second tier with 24 in 41 games, while his 30 goals in all competitions makes him the first Blackburn player to hit that mark since Alan Shearer in 1995/96. He is comfortably the major reason why Rovers are not down in the drop zone - a position which Wednesday find themselves in with three games to go.
'When you look to the striker at Blackburn, he has scored 30 goals in all competitions and all in all, we have scored 36 . 'But there is a reason why we are still close to our goal. If we took all the chances, then we would not speak about a big, big game for the relegation fight. Then we would maybe be some points ahead.
