No, I probably didn't think it would be like this, looking at administrations from other clubs that have still managed to win games.
McNeill Double Not Enough
Q: Why do you think Sheffield Wednesday struggles with set pieces?
It's a combination of tactical mistakes and a lack of proper coaching, leading to avoidable goals.
