Irvine takes the positives as late Koren strike sends Wednesday to another defeat

Owls boss Alan Irvine remained upbeat despite Wednesday's single goal defeat at West Brom on Tuesday evening, which keeps us firmly in the relegation zone.

A long-range Robert Koren drive just 11 minutes from time sunk any hopes of a point after Wednesday had created the better openings in the first half, leaving Irvine to reflect: "We had a terrific shape about us and that provided the platform for us to go and give them some problems. We probably had the best chances in the first half.

"We knew that we would be under some pressure at some point in the second half but I felt as if we were coping with that pressure before a moment of brilliance from a top quality player in this division."

Earlier, Wednesday - without Marcus Tudgay who was ill - had created problems for the home side, with the paces of Jermaine Johnson causing concerns for the Albion defenders and he went close with a chipped effort over ex-Wednesday loanee Scott Carson, when power might have been the better option.

After the break it was Lee Grant's turn to catch the eye with some excellent stops . . . before Koren struck with that late winner to leave us still in that third relegation spot.

Grant; Nolan, Purse, Beevers, Spurr; Miller, O'Connor (Jeffers 83), Potter, Johnson (Soares 72); Clarke, Varney. Unused subs: O'Donnell, Gray, McAllister, Simek, Hinds. Attendance: 20,458
 

Owls wait on Tudgay

Wednesday will be hoping Marcus Tudgay has recovered from illness in time for another tough away trip when we go to play-off chasing Swansea on Saturday.

Tudsgay was ruled out of the West Brom trip when he reported in that he had been sick overnight on Monday.

Alan Irvine said: "Hopefully it will only be a 24-hour thing and Marcus will be available for Saturday."
