Sheffield Weds Preview – Can Sheffield Weds resurrect season?
Sheffield Wednesday lost their way in the Championship in monumental fashion as The Owls have plummeted down the league standings to 15th place ahead of this weekend’s resumption of the Championship, having won just one of their last 10 matches overall.
Manager, Garry Monk, must be at a complete loss as to how his side squandered their early season promise of a possible play-off spot to residing in the bottom half of the second tier, but the rare win over Charlton Athletic has been overshadowed by six defeats within this lean period.
Results on home turf at Hillsborough haven’t been much better either as The Owls have captured just one win from their previous seven matches, while a home record of 7-5-6 16/21 underlines Sheffield Wednesday’s inconsistent nature this term.
Nottingham Forest Preview – Can Nottingham Forest respond?
Saturday’s visitors, Nottingham Forest, headed into the temporary break in proceedings in the Championship having suffered a surprising and heavy 3-0 defeat at home to Millwall, so Sabri Lamouchi’s side will be keen to set the record straight when they visit Hillsborough this weekend.
One could argue that Nottingham Forest are another side who lost their way prior to the lockdown as the east midlands outfit collected just one win from their last six matches which was a 1-0 win away from home at Cardiff City, but three draws within this period saw Forest lose ground on their play-off rivals.
Stalemates against West Brom 2-2, QPR 0-0 and Middlesbrough 2-2 have resulted in Forest dropping down to 5th place and although they possess a five-point cushion over 7th placed Bristol City, the visitors cannot afford to drop too many more points from here on in.
