Danny Rohl bemoaned his side's failure to convert an entertaining display into three Championship points against Coventry City.

Rohl's Sheffield Wednesday had the better of the game at Hillsborough but were undone by two sucker-punch goals from Sky Blues striker Ellis Simms.

Owls boss Rohl told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It's hard to take. We dropped a minimum two points when I look to the whole game today.

"Even with a point you could be disappointed because we were on the front foot, created a lot of chances, entertained.

"But we know its not just about entertainment, it's about winning games, getting results and this is really hard to take because my players invested so much today.

"All the data - we were on the front foot, ball possession, chances, set-pieces, all the things. Sometimes football is horrible and today we got a small setback.

"We can speak about the 2-1 [goal] but also the 1-0. A topic this week and especially after Swansea I showed my players a lot of situations.

"It's about pressure on the ball, block the cross, man marking in the box. This is again and again the same topics.

"We were not shocked after the 1-0. We carried on like nothing happened.

"We created chances, everybody on the pitch tried everything but at the end we can say we played good football but the points went to Coventry. This is hard."
