Sheffield Wednesday have been handed a timely boost of confidence as respected coach Henrik Pedersen insists the Owls have “nothing to lose” as they look to bring an end to their frustrating goal drought.
The Hillsborough side have struggled in front of goal in recent outings, with chances created but not converted — a situation that has tested the patience of supporters and players alike. However, Pedersen believes the pressure surrounding the team could actually work in their favour.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s next fixture, Pedersen expressed strong belief in the squad’s attacking quality.
“We’ve seen the performances,” he said. “The structure is there, the work rate is there. When you’re in a moment like this, sometimes the best mindset is to play with freedom. There’s nothing to lose — just go out, be brave, and take your chances.”
Despite the recent lack of goals, Sheffield Wednesday have shown defensive resilience and midfield control in spells. The missing ingredient has simply been the final touch in the attacking third. Pedersen highlighted that such runs are part of football and can quickly turn around with one breakthrough moment.
“A single goal can change everything,” he added. “Confidence returns instantly. Forwards start believing again, and the whole team feeds off that energy.”
Owls fans, known for their passionate support home and away, will be hoping Hillsborough becomes the stage for that turnaround. With key attackers working tirelessly in training and tactical adjustments reportedly being fine-tuned, there is growing optimism within the camp.
Pedersen’s message is clear: embrace the challenge rather than fear it.
As Sheffield Wednesday prepare for their next test, the focus will be on sharpness in front of goal and maintaining composure in decisive moments. If Pedersen’s words translate into action on the pitch, the Owls may soon silence doubts and reignite their scoring touch — just when it matters most.
For a club with proud history and loyal backing, this could be the moment where pressure turns into opportunity.
