Pedersen 'satisfied' with troubled Owls' point

Wednesday now have -5 points at the bottom of the Championship

Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen praised his team's defensive display as they held West Brom to a 0-0 draw at The Hawthorns.

The Owls ended a run of four straight Championship defeats a week after entering administration and Pedersen said his team has finally reached the standard he expects in defence.

"I am very satisfied," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"We have spoken a lot this week about who we want to be across 95 minutes and who we don't want to be.

"From the first moment today, we had a difficult beginning, we played a strong first half. It is a difficult place to play and a strong opponent.

"It is the first time I felt we were where we want to be defensively over 95 minutes. There are things to work on offensively and we want to work on [them].

Pedersen gave particular praise to wing-backs Sean Fusire and Harry Amass, who managed to contain West Brom in wide areas.

"Sean was fantastic today, how he always jumped and won his duels," he added.

"They started to play behind him but he won all his running duels and was calm on the ball. Harry had a really strong beginning, big respect to him."
