Head coach Danny Röhl was keen to accentuate the positives after Sheffield Wednesday's FA Cup exit at the hands of Coventry City. The Owls were dumped out of the competition on Saturday evening, losing on penalties to last season's beaten semi-finalists.

Defender Liam Kitching put the Sky Blues ahead in the first half before Anthony Musaba restored parity deep into stoppage time to force extra time and penalties. Oliver Dovin kept out Olaf Kobacki’s penalty after Jamal Lowe had spooned his effort over the crossbar to send City through to the fourth round.

Röhl said: “Big credit to my team to come back again – we have to win this game. We deserve to win this game. Especially second half, we control the game, we dominate the game, we come to the final third with really good situations, but if you only have three shots on target it’s not enough for all the things we are doing.

“To come to Coventry and to dominate the game like this, it’s where we are at the moment, but we lost this game and for me we have to decide this game before the penalty shootout.

“When you have so many situations, two against two, one-v-one, two against one situations and you don’t come to a dangerous finish, then there’s an issue here.

“It looks really nice what we are doing, and there was no feeling that the opponent had a solution against us. I think all-in-all, take the positives from this game but I am a little bit sad about the result at the end.”
