Sheffield Wednesday 2026/27 League One Preview
Few clubs have needed a reset as badly as Sheffield Wednesday, and few have started one this well. Relegated from the Championship after a season that brought two wins and finished on a points total of zero, they sit second in League One with 14 points from seven, including a 7-2 demolition of Bromley at Hillsborough.
Henrik Pedersen has built around the familiar and the new in equal measure. Barry Bannan is still setting the tempo at 36, with Billy Mitchell alongside him, while Jamal Lowe has four goals from the right and Louie Barry three from the left. Callum Slattery has created 11 chances from the No.10 role and Joe Lumley has kept two clean sheets behind them.
The scale of what happened last season means expectations at Hillsborough are complicated – this is a club rebuilding its finances as much as its squad. On the pitch, though, the early evidence is of a side far too strong for this level, and a first-time-of-asking return to the Championship is the clear target.
