Sheffield Wednesday haven’t been at the races this season. Even before the first ball was kicked in anger they were 12 points down thanks to a deduction for infringing the EFL’s FFP regulations.
Instability and inconsistency have seen them struggle for most of the season with any pick up in fortune negated by some dismal displays.
Their embittered fans have taken to Twitter many a time and called for change or called out players for their woeful displays. Not today though, not today.

Sheffield Wednesday 3 – 0 Cardiff = stunned ecstacy
Starting at the bottom of the Sky Bet Championship table before the game kicked off, many Owls fans could be excused for not feeling confident in the face of a handy Cardiff side.
They were dumped at the bottom of the table thanks to Wycombe’s thumping 3-0 win over fellow relegation side Rotherham United.
However, what a response. Julian Borner (4′) started the first-half rout and it was continued with a great strike from Calum Paterson (20′) and an Adam Reach worldie free-kick (23′) as the Owls flew into an impressive 3-0 lead.
Sheffield Wednesday fans ecstatic at first-half wonder show
To say that many Sheffield Wednesday fans are stunned at the first-half wonder show vs Cardiff City is an understatement. Here’s a selection of some of their responses to the 3-0 scoreline:

Let’s not forget. We only play well for 45 minutes, never 90 minutes. Get ready for a shocker of a second half 🙈🙈 #swfc
