October 2026: Big Wins, Narrow Losses, and a Cup Exit
October was a month of contrasts. We opened with a ruthless demolition of Millwall, stumbled at Derby, steadied themselves with two strong home displays, and then bowed out of the Carabao Cup in a tight contest at Newcastle. The response at Blackburn to close the month showed character and resilience.
Millwall 0–4 Sheffield Wednesday
A perfect away performance. Williams‑Barnett set the tone early, Potts doubled the lead, Mulattieri added a third, and Almog finished the job deep into stoppage time. Total control from start to finish.
Derby County 2–1 Sheffield Wednesday
A frustrating defeat. Brewster stunned us inside the first minute, and although Mulattieri equalised with a sharp finish, Clarke’s late header snatched the points for Derby.
West Brom 1–1 Sheffield Wednesday
A hard‑earned draw. Potts struck early with a composed finish, but Johnston levelled for West Brom just before the break. Both sides had chances, but neither found a winner.
Sheffield Wednesday 3–0 Bolton
A confident home win. Van Persie was electric, scoring twice, and Potts added another in first‑half stoppage time. Bolton never recovered from the early pressure.
Sheffield Wednesday 1–1 Leicester City
A tight contest. Page put Leicester ahead early, but Almog equalised with a tidy finish. We pushed late on but couldn’t find the winner.
Newcastle United 1–0 Sheffield Wednesday
Carabao Cup Fourth Round
Cup exit at St James’ Park. Wissa’s strike proved decisive in a tight match where we defended well but struggled to create clear chances.
Blackburn Rovers 1–2 Sheffield Wednesday
A strong finish to the month. Abdelli put us ahead, Wharton equalised, but van Persie delivered the winner with a clinical strike. A gritty, deserved away victory.
