Hardened Owls can Rohl with punches

SHEFFIELD Wednesday's 4-0 victory over Plymouth on the opening day has got everyone wondering if the Owls can challenge for promotion.

On one hand, it's very early days and you have to remember that they were playing, in my opinion, a League One team that still hasn't gelled.

On the other, why not? They've got incredible pace down the sides. They've still got Barry Bannan, who is as deft and clever as ever. Josh Windass is always lively, with a constant bit of buzz about him.

Djeidi Gassama is a star in the making. The winger took a bit of time to adjust after signing from PSG last summer but he looks a top, top player, not dissimilar to Crysencio Summerville in the way he operates.

And of course they've got Danny Rohl, an astounding, unbelievable coach who comes across very well. The 35-year-old German has a meticulous and detailed approach, and the players have obviously bought into his coaching.
