Sheffield Wednesday picked up a huge win over Millwall last time out, with Anthony Musaba the star.
Sheffield Wednesday now find themselves four points from safety after picking up two wins from their last three in the Championship.
Danny Rohl‘s side beat Birmingham City at Hillsborough before losing 2-0 at Leicester City, then claiming an impressive 2-0 win over Millwall at The Den.
Musaba was the star that day; the Dutchman returned to the XI and provided an impressive assist for Ike Ugbo’s opener, then scoring one himself to give the Owls all three points before the break.
Danny Rohl reveals Anthony Musaba conversation before Millwall goal
Speaking to The Star, Rohl has now revealed that he pulled Musaba to one side after Ugbo opened the scoring vs Millwall, and urged to him to be clinical in the game.
Minutes later, Musaba scored his fifth goal of the season.
“After the first goal today I took Anthony to the side and told him ‘You must be clinical, again and again, you must continue this’,” Rohl explained.
“This was his key point today. He was there in the big moments but maybe he is thinking he needs to make the move more and more and more. He has a lot of speed and he was fantastic in both situations.”
Musaba can fire Sheffield Wednesday to Championship safety
Musaba had started on the bench for the previous two games before Millwall.
But on his return to the XI he looked refreshed and refocused, and he was certainly the game-winner that day with two defining moments.
He showcased his best attributes that day which are his ability to beat players on the ball and to also have an end product; not only did he put the ball on a plate for Ugbo to score the opener, but he also showed composure to take his own chance when it fell his way.
The 23-year-old now has five goals and three assists in 30 Championship outings this season.
Over the course of the season he’s become a really impressive player for Sheffield Wednesday and now with 13 games left, it looks like Musaba will be one of the players Rohl will rely on to get the club out of the drop zone.
Up next is another winnable home game against a Bristol City side who lost at home to QPR in their last outing, whilst the R’s in 22nd host bottom club Rotherham United, Millwall head to Southampton, and Huddersfield Town go to Watford.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Bristol City kicks off at 3pm on Saturday.
