Wednesday ease relegation fears with Plymouth win

Djeidi Gassama rejoiced over his third goal this season.

Sheffield Wednesday is accelerating their efforts to avoid being relegated from the Championship after winning 1-0 against Plymouth Argyle, who are also struggling.

After 20 minutes into the game, Ian Poveda scored a goal that was not counted for the hosts because he was in an offside position. In the first half, there were no goals but Ike Ugbo almost scored for the Owls.

Djeidi Gassama scored the first goal by tapping in a cross from Ugbo that came from the right side of the field. He almost scored another goal soon after that.

Argyle had a hard time making opportunities to score and haven't been able to score in four out of their last five games.

The triumph they achieved on Wednesday, which was their fifth out of six games, helped them maintain their position as second from the last. However, what's more important is that they have caught up with the three teams above them in terms of points. This is a result of their remarkable comeback under the guidance of Danny Rohl.

Argyle is still holding on to two points more than the Owls and sitting in 16th place. The bottom half of the table is pretty crowded at the moment.

On Wednesday, there were some excellent opportunities during the game. Ugbo took a shot in the ninth minute which was well blocked by Conor Hazard. Poveda also made an excellent move but was prevented from scoring by the assistant referee's flag. Upon reviewing the footage, it was clear that it was a very close decision.

Ashely Phillips missed the goal for Argyle a little while later, but James Beadle managed to deflect a shot from Mickel Miller for Pilgrims just before the end of the first half.

Argyle's team will feel disappointed about how the game started on Wednesday. Adam Forshaw made a mistake and lost the ball while he was in his team's area. This gave Ugo a chance to get into the box and pass the ball to Gassama. Although Hazard managed to touch the ball, Gassama still scored.

Gassama almost scored another goal just two minutes later but missed a long-range shot. Meanwhile, James Beadle made a great save to stop a good opportunity by Morgan Whittaker on the other side of the field.

Towards the end of the game, the Pilgrims had a few opportunities thanks to Mustapha Bundu, but unfortunately they were unable to score a goal.

Danny Rohl, the manager of Sheffield Wednesday, stated that the team is currently working hard to improve their performance.

This was a massive achievement and I am extremely pleased with my team right now. Their performance is truly exceptional and deserves recognition."

It's common knowledge that Rotherham presents a challenging opposition when it comes to defending second balls and set-piece situations.

During the break, I expressed my satisfaction about how well we were performing. However, I emphasized the importance of capitalizing on our next opportunity to score.

The substitutions we made had a significant effect on the game. We couldn't settle for a tie and had to alter our tactics, which led to us scoring right away. After that, our aim was to secure the win and finish the game strongly.

It's really impressive to observe the way we're defending right now. We've managed to strike the perfect balance between showcasing some beautiful football and making sure we're taking the correct actions on the field.

"Currently, we are in the position of the predator and we are experiencing a surge of progress."

During an interview with BBC Radio Devon, Ian Foster, the head coach of Plymouth Argyle, shared his thoughts.

We were really let down as we believed we should have won the game."

It's really regrettable how the goal was scored. Adam made an unintentional mistake, he was supposed to get rid of the ball but unfortunately, he fell down and the opposition scored while taking advantage of the situation.

During the second half, I believed that the team had an impeccable strategy. We dominated the second half and it's difficult for me to accept that we lost the game.
