'My players should take all the flowers today'

Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl has been critical of his players lately but had nothing but praise for them after their 2-1 against play-off chasing Middlesbrough.

The German says he had watched clips of how to infiltrate Boro's back line, a tactic the side used to full effect to end their winless run of six games.

"Congratulations to my team, to my players; outstanding job, outstanding energy level, a lot of good things they did today," Rohl told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I said this 20 minutes before the end to my coaches, we deserve more than just one point and then the goal was coming. My players should take all the flowers today because they deserved it.

"Today we found a fantastic balance between keeping the ball and attacking the last line. I saw a lot of clips of how we could attack them, especially behind the full-backs and my players did a fantastic job.

"You need this player and also in this division, you need momentum, and I think everybody in the stadium felt today that the momentum could be on our side - and we played really nice football."
