Sheffield Wednesday returned to training at Middlewood Road this week with a primary focus on increasing the team's playing speed. Manager Henrik Pedersen aimed to address issues from successive goalless draws against Wigan Athletic and Stockport County. Coach Andy Holdsworth led small-sided drills emphasizing pace, quick ball movement, and creating attacking overloads.
