It’s a good week but I know in football it goes so quick – Owls boss Danny Rohl

Danny Rohl reflected on “a good week” for Sheffield Wednesday after they came from behind to earn a first away win of the season at Coventry.

Djeidi Gassama cancelled out Jack Rudoni’s first Sky Blues goal before Southampton loanee Shea Charles stole all three points in the third minute of stoppage time.

The victory means the Owls have picked up seven points in a week after beating West Brom last weekend before a goalless draw against Bristol City on Wednesday.

“It was a good week but I know in football it goes so quick. I think after Luton some guys around the club were asking about my person and today we deserved seven points from one week,” said Rohl.

“It’s a tough, tough week. Against West Brom, go to Bristol, 48 hours to come to Coventry. I think Coventry in the last season was always a tough place, we didn’t get one point, just one draw in the cup there.

“Today I must say we invested a lot, we played with good intensity even with just 48 hours. We made five changes in the starting XI, especially with this position where we have run a lot.

“Great team performance, another small step in our journey, not more, and we still have to improve in lots of parts and this is the job in the next two weeks besides recovering.

“I said to the players in the morning in the last meeting that I have an idea how we want to start. I have an idea how we come through and how we finish the game. In football you can plan a lot but my players deserve all the credit today.”

Of goalscorer Gassama, who scored for the first time this season, Rohl said: “I said to him today this is what I want to see. It’s not just how he can carry the ball, we know this. Today he closed against the ball, he was very into the game, hardworking, and then he can help us with his good dribbling.”

Coventry manager Mark Robins claimed his side let Wednesday off the hook after his team did not start quickly enough.

He said: “The fact we didn’t start quickly enough was really disappointing because we needed to make the most of the fact that they played 24 hours later than us.

“We didn’t do that, we let them off the hook. They made six or seven changes but that doesn’t matter.

“If you just look to match the opponent in terms of what they are doing, it’s not going to be good enough.

“You’ve got to try and blow teams out of the water and you’ve got to try and set a pace they can’t live with and put them on the back foot, and we didn’t do that.

“We didn’t manage the game well enough. And then the giveaways, we were pushed off the ball, fouls in the game, disrupting the flow of the game and you know when you play against them that’s what you are going to get.

“But you are not going to get it all your way. We had 30 minutes at the end of the game when we looked like we were going to win it but they were still dangerous.

“For whatever reason, individual decision-making, individuals on the ball make the wrong choice and they are athletic enough to go and run through you.

“I’d have been disappointed with a draw and the fact we got nothing from the game is hugely disappointing, but it’s where we are at at the moment.”
