The Story in 60 Seconds

The Star's Alex Miller argues that while Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen faces increasing pressure and sacking chants following a 2-0 loss to Doncaster Rovers, blame must also be shared across the club. Wednesday suffered back-to-back defeats against Notts County and Doncaster despite earlier beating AFC Wimbledon 5-0.

Miller highlights that tactical errors contributed to recent struggles, but senior players and unbalanced squad recruitment following administration also share responsibility. Experienced defender Liam Cooper urged teammates to step up, though Miller notes it will take a significant turnaround for Pedersen to survive mounting supporter frustration.
