A dark place, angry faces and a telling jibe – Alex Miller’s Sheffield Wednesday column

Alex Miller writes that Sheffield Wednesday suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat against Notts County at Meadow Lane on Tuesday evening. The columnist highlights a lacklustre performance that drew noticeable frustration from traveling supporters toward manager Henrik Pedersen, especially after a Notts County player mocked Wednesday's effort post-match. The result leaves Wednesday facing mounting pressure amid an intensifying injury and suspension crisis ahead of their upcoming weekend fixture against Doncaster Rovers.

Miller notes that Wednesday lost Di'Shon Bernard to injury, while Slattery collected a suspension-triggering yellow card and Lowe was dismissed. According to Miller, these incidents add to a growing list of unavailable players, bringing the total to 17. Despite the poor showing and an expected goals figure of just 0.28, Miller points out that Wednesday still remain close to the top of the division with games in hand.
