Sheffield Wednesday’s current crop of players have been labelled as one of the worst sides to come to the Hawthorns in recent memory, following a 1-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion last night.
Wednesday’s woes continued when John Swift bagged for the Baggies in the 13th minute which turned out to be the only goal of the game as Carlos Corberan’s men cruised to a 1-0 win, taking them inside the playoff places.
The scoreline may suggest a narrower game than it was. Despite going a goal down early into the match, the Owls registered merely 25 percent possession throughout the ninety minutes, accumulating just one shot on target and an xG of 0.13 in total.
Sheffield Wednesday did well to limit West Brom’s chances during the match but never looked like scoring as pressure has piled further on head coach Xisco Munoz who is facing dismissal just ten league games into his tenure.
Writing on Twitter/X after the game, Birmingham Live reporter Joe Chapman claimed this was one of the worst Wednesday sides to come to the Hawthorns over the years [quotes via Sheffield Wednesday News]:
