It’s safe to say that you won’t have missed the fact that Henrik Pedersen has departed his position as manager of the Owls, with Matt Hamshaw taking over on an interim basis. What you might have missed, however, is how things played out - we did an article on that for you.

In the youth setup, Wednesday’s U18s picked up another victory as they came from behind to beat Wigan Athletic 3-1. Harry Chadbourne, Logan Scott and Dennis Kohn got the goals, with the latter doing so as he made a long-awaited return from injury. The talented James Kay also got his first start since recovering from surgery.

Meanwhile, away from the field, Wednesday have picked up another couple of new sponsors, with Village Hotels’ name now on the club’s training kit and Procure Smart coming on board as a new partner.

Welcome to Sheffield Wednesday Mondays…

We had news on Ernie Weaver, who was set to go out on loan before an injury to Di’Shon Bernard saw his move cancelled at the 11th hour… Bernard’s injury, thankfully, appears to be nothing to be too worried about.

There was a long interview with Benito Carbone as he opened up on his Owls exit in the 1990s and his love for the club - you can also watch that one if you prefer.

On the injury front we ran a comprehensive update on the status of the club’s availability ahead of their game against Doncaster Rovers, and we also introduced The Wednesday Word Stats - a brand new Owls resource that’s free to use for you guys.

Liam Cooper fronted up after the Rovers defeat, and spoke a few excellent home truths after a lacklustre display. It’s worth checking out what he had to say.

Lastly, with the news that Pedersen had been fired, we put together an emergency episode of The Wednesday Word Show to answer as many of your questions as we could, and you can find that below.

And that’s that for this Sheffield Wednesday Mondays! We’ll be doing a new one every week to make sure you can see our best work, and if you want to uncheck the other sections, then feel free to do so…

The weekend couldn’t have been much better from a Wednesday perspective!

Henrik Pedersen’s men thumped AFC Wimbledon 5-0, Wednesday Ladies did the same against Parkgate, and there were Beres sausage rolls back at Hillsborough as well.

Elsewhere, the U21s secured a 3-1 win over Swallownest in the Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA Cup, with Sam Duruh and Fortune Onoh getting on the scoresheet either side of an own goal by the hosts. The U18s, meanwhile, were subject to an odd postponement after their game against Fleetwood Town was called off due to a lack of paramedics.

The Wednesday Warehouse - run by Luke Earnshaw - got to show off some of his remarkable Owls nostalgia in Hirsty’s Social, and another big crowd against the Dons meant that 30k+ fans had turned out for six consecutive league games at Hillsborough for the first time since 1991.

Welcome to Sheffield Wednesday Mondays!

We’ve had a busy week at TWW, too, with loads of stuff for you to work your way through here on the website.

We had some quotes from Benito Carbone on his decision to leave Inter Milan for Wednesday - 30 years after he made the move. There was also an update on the state of play amongst the club’s centre backs, with contract talks having stalled with Ernie Weaver.

The Trust’s James Silverwood has been asked to join the Board as a non-executive director, and there was an interview with American full-back, Giovanna Petruccelli, as she looks to make a name for herself with SWLFC.

We spoke to Henrik Pedersen about Dalton Smith’s visit, and got his views on the Weaver situation as well. That was all before the Owls put five past the visitors to climb up the League One table.

And lastly, we had a chat with Davis Keillor-Dunn after his star turn at S6, with the attacker giving some insight into his future ahead of the expiration of his loan in January. You can check that out below:

It’s rarely an uneventful week at Wednesday, and the past seven days have been no different as Henrik Pedersen’s Owls managed to grab an unlikely draw from the jaws of defeat over at Huddersfield Town. At 2-0 they looked down and out, but a late flourish kept their unbeaten run going - Jamal Lowe, found the opposition goalkeeper’s water bottle afterwards, too…

A Callum Slattery yellow card in that game means he now has to avoid getting booked in any of his next 11 fixtures if he wants to avoid a one-game ban. Considering that game 19 comes on December 10th, he might struggle.

Elsewhere, Wednesday’s Head of Medical & Club Doctor, Taaha Nadeem, was appointed as the Medical Committee League Representative for League One at the EFL. He’ll be involved in advising the League on medical matters, and was voted into the position by his peers.

The U18s secured a 2-1 win over Hull City over the weekend, with James Kay may a long-awaited return after surgery earlier this year, but there was defeat for Sheffield Wednesday Ladies away at Thackley. The U21s are in action in a couple of days’ time.

Welcome to Sheffield Wednesday Mondays…

Here on The Wednesday Word, we’ve had plenty for you to get your teeth into. As always we had a match report and plenty of reaction from the Huddersfield game - including bits from a very irritated Terriers boss - but there was also a midweek win over Sunderland U21s that took place as well.

We had some updates on what’s been happening over on the North Stand, as well as exclusive interviews with the likes of Joe Emery and Nicky Weaver, with the latter being available to watch over on our YouTube channel.

Ricardo Santos has had a little bit of an injury setback, a couple of players have left the club on a temporary basis, and there was a piece on the difficult situation that Wednesday’s academy currently finds itself in. Oh, and there’s a play coming out about the Miracle of Hillsborough.

Elsewhere, we tracked down a couple of key people in the development of Joel Akpobi prior to his arrival at Middlewood Road, and you can find out more about his story in the article below.

And that’s that for this Sheffield Wednesday Mondays! We’ll be doing a new one every week to make sure you can see our best work, and if you want to uncheck the other sections, then feel free to do so…

So, where to start with the week that was? Liam Cooper won the club’s Player of the Month, and it was confirmed that Wednesdayites had done their thing once again by selling out their allocation of 2,342 tickets for Huddersfield Town away.

We’re running a 25% discount on annual subscriptions, by the way…

Will Vaulks showed once again what a tremendous person he was by involving Wednesday in his new Baton of Hope initiative, and Kelvin Stanford was appointed as the club’s new Head of Catering Operations. There was also footage of Di’Shon Bernard with some tremendous finishing in training, oh - and Fernando Forestieri has signed in the National League North with Oxford City.

Elsewhere, long-serving member of the behind-the-scenes team at Wednesday, Lindsey Hinton, has been handed a title change - going from ‘Club Secretary’ to ‘ Head of Football Administration and Operations’, which she says ‘helps the perception of what I actually do’.

With that, welcome to Sheffield Wednesday Mondays…

From our side, we had some comments on Davis Keillor-Dunn and the vital role that he could play going forward, and there were a couple of jumps around the club as Wednesday’s players represented their respective nations - here’s part one and part two of that.

Speaking of international football, there was a withdrawal for Logan Stretch, and Wednesday saw a request to get Will Grainger back early denied.

Dom and I sat down for a new episode of The Wednesday Word Show, and we also announced that he’d joined us on a permanent basis. As previously mentioned, we’re running a special that gets you a year of TWW for £37.50 to celebrate.

We had two pieces with Jaden Heskey, too. The first was him talking about a potential move back to Hillsborough that isn’t a loan, and the second was a long read that covered a whole host of topics such as his time spent with Manchester City’s first team, and how the Hillsborough crowd can make you feel ‘invincible’ - read that below.

Devlan Moses missed a Northern Ireland youth game due to illness, Henrik Pedersen spoke about his big Wednesday wish, and there was a return to winning ways for Sheffield Wednesday Ladies as Amy Broomhead scored from the halfway line.

And that’s that for this Sheffield Wednesday Mondays! We’ll be doing a new one every week to make sure you can see our best work, and if you want to uncheck the other sections, then feel free to do so…

The biggest news last week was the return of Di’Shon Bernard as he started the Jersey Mike’s Trophy win over Salford City. Speaking afterwards, he opened up on how it felt to finally be back out there after 19 months out.

We also saw Joel Akpobi sign his first professional contract after playing his part in that victory, while Ali Al-Hamadi had to pull out of international duty with Iraq due to an ankle injury…

We know you get a lot of Wednesday Word emails, so if you want just one – every Monday – then uncheck all the other sections apart from this one.

Here on The Wednesday Word we brought you an exclusive interview with former Owls favourite, John Harkes, as he opened up on his time at Hillsborough and his relationship with David Storch… That can be found below, but he also answers your questions here.

We had an update on the likes of Max Lowe and Sil Swinkels, as well as a feature with ex-SWFC attacker - and lifelong Wednesdayite - David Ford. He spoke to us about his time at S6, and how he became the club’s first substitute back in the 1960s.

Elsewhere, a former Liverpool and Wednesday man spoke about the struggles that Henrik Pedersen’s men could face in League One this season, while Sheffield Wednesday Ladies were beaten for the first time in 2026/27.

The U21s were defeated 2-1 by Colchester United, with Harry Chadbourne getting the goal, and the U18s drew 2-2 against the same opponent. Thomas Conlan and Charlie Robinson were on the scoresheet.

And that’s that for this Sheffield Wednesday Mondays! We’ll be doing a new one every week to make sure you can see our best work, and if you want to uncheck the other sections, then feel free to do so…

It’s been another week at Wednesday, and there’s been plenty going on… There’ve been lots of international call-ups for the Owls at various levels, and it’s led to their game against Cambridge United being called off as well as the Stevenage one.

Another sold-out away end awaits as SWFC take on Salford City in the EFL Trophy tonight, and the club have announced Howard Wilkinson OBE, Lord David Blunkett and Clive Betts as Lifetime Presidents.

Elsewhere, there’s been another exit from the club’s academy setup as Jack Newbury departs his role as Head of Academy Sport Science, and Daniel Da Costa has found a new club after being released by the Owls over the summer - he’s joined Leixoes in Portugal.

Welcome to Sheffield Wednesday Mondays…

There’s been plenty of Owls content for your perusal right here on TWW, including a handy guide to the other 23 clubs in League One - Part One and Part Two - as well as a full injury wrap to give you the latest on where the club’s current walking wounded are at.

Di’Shon Bernard is set for 45 minutes this evening, and we also brought you a specific update on talented striker, George Brown, as he nears his recovery.

Meanwhile, John Harkes spoke to us about potentially coming on board in a more specific capacity at Hillsborough - and you can find that piece here:

We obviously had plenty of reaction from the 0-0 draw with Stockport County, including our regular Manager’s Corner feature, and an update from Henrik Pedersen on Ali Al-Hamadi after he missed out.

There’s also some excellent insight from former Liverpool and Wednesday striker, Neil Mellor, on Kieran Morrison as the ex-attacker lays down the gauntlet to the exciting youngster. Find that here:

Finally, there was some progression in the FA Cup for Owls youngsters, Devlan Moses, Logan Stretch and Joe Emery as they turned out for Buxton and South Shields, with Moses scoring his side’s winner - watch it here:

It’s not often we have a quiet week at Sheffield Wednesday, and the past seven days have been no different… Thankfully it’s all about football these days, but there’s still plenty happening - on and off the pitch.

The game against Stevenage has been postponed due to international call-ups on the Boro end, Jamal Lowe won Player of the Month, Di’Shon Bernard came through a vital 45 minutes unscathed with the U21s, and Wednesdayites did what Wednesdayites do by selling out the trip to Salford.

Welcome to Sheffield Wednesday Mondays…

In terms of articles over the last week, we had a pretty diverse offering for you… We broke the story of a teenager heading back to SWFC after time at Manchester City, we had Simon Wilson discussing a big change in the way the club handles contracts, and the following interview with former fan favourite at Hillsborough, Miguel Llera…

Elsewhere, we got some fascinating insight on why the National League was a strong place for Wednesday’s youngsters right now, with Joe Emery the latest to head there - and there was plenty of coverage and reaction of the 0-0 draw with Wigan Athletic.

The biggest story of the last week was the fact that Henrik Pedersen had been handed an improved - not extended - contract at Hillsborough, and there was also a closer look at the way the photography department has been reworked under the new owners. You can find links and details below.
