Wonderful week for Wednesday

Throughout the controversy surrounding AC Milan's attempts to land Powell as manager, Sheffield Wednesday secured another good result on Wednesday in a 1-1 draw at Wolves, despite being down to 10 men for nearly an hour when Thomas Meunier was sent off. Odion Ighalo gave the visitors the lead after 53 minutes, before Jacobs equalised soon after for Simone Luciano's boys.

Wednesday's result leaves The Owls unbeaten in 5 matches, with just 1 defeat in their past 8 and there are plenty of positive signs heading into next season.

This all came after another magnificent result on Monday, a 1-0 win away at Michael Hudson's Nottingham Forest. Again, Odion Ighalo netted the only goal to secure the 3 points. Ighalo hasn't been a regular starter for most of this season, but he's earnt us 4 points in the past few days to really stake a claim to become a first XI player.

In other news, Glenn Loovens, Caolan Lavery, Mani Diesuruvwe and Ryan Croasdale have departed the club, with young Brazilian striker Mosquito joining from Frank Hirst's Tranmere Rovers.

Rumoured target Jonathan Pitroipa
There are also rumours of perhaps another player arriving at Wednesday before the season is up, with Al Jazira winger Jonathan Pitroipa and Standard Liege defender Jelle van Damme among those mentioned.

    Ted, it's a good thing we're in different divisions.

    I fear Mosquito will have your attack buzzing in no time, although he'll do more damage creating chances for Malaria. You definitely want to contract him.

    I also believe Dengue will thrive under Mosquito's incisive touch. He's a bite sized assassin, that one!

    The only players who were able to handle him in the Brazilian top flight were Quarantinha and Penicillinho, I believe. Embargo did okay in one game until Refugee came in. He was a game-changer, that one.

    Good luck with your new signings.
