Josh Windass explains what was said in Sheffield Wednesday's huddle after win over Norwich City
Josh Windass has revealed what was said in Sheffield Wednesday’s huddle after their comeback win over Norwich City.
On a busy night of Championship action, the Owls produced what was arguably the performance of the evening at Carrow Road.
A remarkable second-half display allowed Wednesday to overturn a two-goal deficit, roaring back to win 3-2 with goals from Michael Ihiekwe, Windass and Djeidi Gassama.
Jubilant scenes followed the full-time whistle, as the Owls celebrated in front of a delighted travelling crowd.
There was also a huge huddle featuring the players, in which captain Barry Bannan rallied his teammates.
Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield, Windass said: “He said how we've been here four or five days, away from families and stuff.
“To go and win back to back games is brilliant from morale heading into Sunday [Steel City derby] and now we're back in a picture we looked out of two weeks ago. That's the Championship.”
Wednesday are in the play-off chasing pack, although a difficult February threatened to undo a lot of their progress.
Danny Rohl’s side picked up just one win in six, but have bounced back in style with back-to-back away wins in March.
Windass said: “When everyone got in a hiss and a fuss two weeks ago when we lost against two top teams and we played pretty average, they said it was all over. But we knew points tally-wise, we needed seven or eight wins from however many games were left and there's two.
“If we can pick up seven wins - which is obviously very difficult in this division - we'll be in the play-offs.”
