Sheffield Wednesday manager Dany Rohl claimed his team lacked ruthlessness after losing 2-0 to Coventry City on Boxing Day.
The Owls have improved significantly under the German, who took over a club that was anchored to the bottom of the table.
However, they still have a lot of work to do to stay in the Championship, as their loss on Boxing Day, along with other results, puts them nine points from safety.
So it’s all about earning wins, and it will have seemed like a squandered opportunity against the Sky Blues, who were quite competitive on Wednesday.
Tatsuhiro Sakamoto’s first-half goal put the hosts ahead, and the Japanese international sealed the victory a minute later.
Wednesday, on the other hand, more than held their own, particularly in the second half, but they were wasteful in front of goal, allowing several opportunities to pass.
And, speaking to the club’s media, Rohl was satisfied with the overall performance, but he lamented the lack of calmness and quality in both boxes, which eventually proved decisive on the day.
“We created a big opportunity to get back into the game and equalize, but we blew it.” Then, I believe, the opponent scored on the first shot of the second half. It demonstrates the difference in quality between the two boxes.
“When you look at the opponent’s 2-0 and their shooting, you can see their quality.” We have three chances in one second to complete the action with a goal, but we are unable to do so. We know we’re not tranquil enough, so it’s all about producing more and more. To take something in this league, you must be clinical and seize opportunities when they present themselves.
“I tried everything with substitutes, almost everyone got a chance, it was almost all-in with what I have right now.” Hopefully, several players will return soon.”
