Sheffield Wednesday manager comments on one aspect of Stockport County draw that was ‘not part of the plan’

Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen addressed fan frustrations following his side's 0-0 draw against Stockport County on Saturday. Some supporters expressed annoyance over the slow pace of playing out from the back, particularly targeting goalkeeper Joe Lumley. The result marked the Owls' second consecutive goalless stalemate, though it maintained their position in second place in League One after seven matches.

Pedersen explained that playing too slowly or overly direct was not part of the plan, attributing the struggles to Stockport's well-organized setup. Wednesday were outshot 18 to six during the contest. The manager noted that tactical adjustments at halftime improved their speed in building attacks from the back during the second half.
