Sheff Wed 'need perfect game' at Burnley - Danny Rohl

Sheffield Wednesday must play the "perfect" game when they take on miserly Championship high-flyers Burnley on Friday, says boss Danny Rohl.

The Owls are ninth in the table, three points off the play-off places following a last-gasp defeat against Coventry in their previous game.

Burnley are third and in contention for automatic promotion, having conceded just nine goals in 33 league games this season.

Rohl said his side must "get the basics right" as they have the quality up front to hurt any team in the division.

"We will play with our intensity and create a lot of chances," the 35-year-old German told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"We have some weapons and are always dangerous up front. We can create something.

"But of course you need a perfect game away against Burnley to take something there.

"They are organised and know what they have to do. It is not special, special but they have good structure against the ball, high intensity and make good recovery runs.

"They work as a unit, as a team and are hard to break. They put a lot of pressure on the ball and have done a lot of good things so far."
