The Great Escape

Here it is the last Sheffield Wednesday blog post of the season - writing and photography to return from next weekend, especially after I received book three back from my editor this morning (and have made my way through the first ten chapters). However, Wednesday’s escape under Danny Rohl has been amazing given the situation that he inherited.

The season had started under (panic at the) Xisco Munoz who is the only Wednesday manager not to win a single game and gave us of worst start in both our 156 year history and in Championship history. It didn’t turn result wise straight away and we drifted out to 12 points from saftey, but the change in style was immediate and once the ‘Rohl pre season’ and the November international break came, the results picked up, the fans came on board, we more than came on board, I’ve never seen Wednesdayites take to a manager so quickly.

The problem was that while were now getting points on the board, so was everyone else at the bottom of the table, leading to a final day where everyone won and Birmingham City got relegated on 50 when the total to be safe in normally closer to 45 points!

Anyway lets look at how it was done.

So now onto the players and how they did - this first spreadsheet shows and overview of the squad - value at start of the season, appearance details for this season and for their entire Wednesday career.

This next spreadsheet shows appearance details for this season - number of starts, sub appearances and unused sub squad members for each game.

The third spreadsheet shows the players win/draw/loss percentages. The P stat is the win/draw/loss percentages for the number of games that they played in. The T stat is the percentage of times that they played in the team’s total wins/draws/losses.

The fourth spreadsheet is for goals and assists.

And the final spreadsheet is for clean sheets.
