Wednesday now need to get it right on the road

Last updated : 24 September 2016 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday produced a fantastic finish yet again at Hillsborough on Saturday as Kieran Lee's injury time goal gave them a deserved 3 points against Nottingham Forest.

The Owls came from behind to win for the 3rd home game in succession and they are only 2 points behind the play-off places at this early stage of the season.

Carlos Carvalhal's side have picked up 12 points from a possible 15 at S6 but it is on the road where they must improve, having failed to win any of their 4 away games to date.

They played well in a deflating late defeat at Birmingham last weekend and also dominated large spells of the game at Brentford last month but sloppy errors meant they had to salvage a point late on.

Wednesday only managed 2 away wins before the New Year last season and it wasn't until the last game in September that they picked up their first win on their travels.

The lack of form on the road heaps added pressure on the home games and so it is vital that the Owls can find the results that there performances deserve away from S6.

Last seasons beaten play-off finalists travel to Ewood Park on Tuesday evening to face Blackburn Rovers, who have found some form and have won their last 2 games after a shocking start to the season. The Owls then have 5 tough league games in October with 3 of those away from Hillsborough.
