Wednesdays 1-0 loss to rock bottom Forest Green Rovers on Sunday has increased the pressure on the promotion chasing Owls.

Jordon Garrick scored for Rovers in the 35th minute as Wednesday fell to a shock fifth defeat of the season.

Before last weeks 4-2 defeat at rivals Barnsley, Wednesday had been on a club record 23 game unbeaten run.

One Wednesday fan claimed the hard work had been undone by the last two defeats.

Another user, Krisswfc69, described it as ‘One of the worst displays I’ve ever seen’.

Some fans have been slightly more optimistic about the teams current situation.

Kelly Robinson said: “the result yesterday was a hard one to take but we can’t forget the fact that this team have been amazing.”

The Owls are currently second in League One, two points behind leaders Plymouth Argyle, but with a game in hand on the team above.

Wednesday fan Mark Reid said: “If somebody had in August that by the end of March you were going to be three points in front of third with a game in hand to go top you’d have snatched their hand off.”

The S6 side travel to Cheltenham Town on Wednesday as they try to get their season back on track and achieve promotion back to the Championship at the second time of asking.

“I’m confident that we will still got top two, but I was more confident we’d win the league prior to yesterday” said Mr Reid.
