"Everything so far has been a good learning" - Pedersen

Henrik Pedersen believes his side's first three games of the campaign have been a good learning opportunity for his squad.

Speaking after the Owls' 3-0 home defeat to Stoke City - their second defeat from two Championship games this season - Pedersen told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It was a tough beginning, but we came back into the game well, were well organised, and had good intensity in our pressing.

"I thought we cold get something from the game at half-time, but we conceded again early after the break. We had more chances after that but then they got a third and that was too much.

"We had 15 shots and 10 on target so we showed we can have that intensity and compete, but we need more training time, so we can train how we want to play at the weekend.

"Everything so far has been a good learning for the boys. We are doing everything we can to get more players because we need a bigger squad, but we need more games at this level so that the players we do have can get used to playing with this intensity again."
