Danny Rohl said his Wednesday side deserved nothing from today’s 1-1 draw with Preston.
Only some first-class saves from James Beadle, coupled with poor finishing from the visitors, prevented what could have been a heavy defeat for the Owls and Rohl didn’t hold back on his thoughts after the match.
The manager said: “We deserved nothing today, for me this was a defeat. Preston were the better team from the start, they had more chances and should have won the game.
“The only positive for me was James Beadle, he made some great saves to keep us in the game, in particular one save when they could have been 2-0 ahead and then it would have been a long way back.
“I will take the point but I have said to my players that we have to be better than that.”
With results from teams around us in the table going our way, the point actually took us up to ninth in the Championship but Rohl added: “It is easy to look at the table and say we are doing well, we have 26 points, but if we play like this we will not make a lot of progress.
“This is not what I want to see from my team … to slow down the game, to not be aggressive and not connected as a team.
“We have to do our basics right and this starts against the ball. Be nasty, be organised and then we can start to come into the game.”
Rohl made three changes at half time, saying: “If it was possible I would have have changed more. I was not happy.
“I wanted more control in midfield. It was a little bit better in the second half but all in all I am very disappointed today.
“We have another big game on Tuesday against a good team in Blackburn. I want to see a reaction from my players, I want to see a big improvement … it is as simple as that.”
