Liam Cooper delivers Sheffield Wednesday home truths as poor run continues

Sheffield Wednesday defender Liam Cooper has urged his teammates to take greater personal responsibility following a 2-0 defeat against Doncaster Rovers. The result marked the Owls' fifth winless outing in their last six league matches, prompting visiting supporters to chant for the dismissal of manager Henrik Pedersen. Cooper defended the coaching staff, insisting the tactical preparation is sound and that the players on the pitch must shoulder the blame for recent struggles.

The 35-year-old former Leeds United captain voiced disappointment with how Wednesday conceded two set-piece goals during the match. Despite sitting eighth in League One with a game in hand, Cooper warned that the squad must show more maturity and resilience to handle club expectations during their ongoing slump.
