Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl will be hard at work on the training ground this month.
Sheffield Wednesday go into this international break on the back of three-straight defeats in the Championship, and all without scoring.
Since the opening day win vs Plymouth Argyle, Danny Rohl’s side have been poor.
The Owls have suffered defeats against Sunderland and Leeds United, then losing 3-0 against Millwall last time out.
The defeat at The Den in particular highlighted the issues that Rohl is facing right now; an apparant lack of adaptability to different opponents, a lack of a Plan B, and all round poor defending.
This international break comes at a great time for Rohl who’ll be hard at work on the training ground before the return of league football.

Two games are winnable for Sheffield Wednesday, but it won’t be easy
The Owls have a tough run of games coming up in the Championship.
But fans may fancy their sides’ chances in the next two league fixtures against QPR and Luton Town.
Sheffield Wednesday and QPR were in similar boats last season; both being poor in the first half but finishing the campaign strong.
The R’s currently sit in 12th place of the table after beating Luton last time out.
But at home, the Owls will want to beat a QPR side who were held to a draw at home to Plymouth last month.
Luton meanwhile sit in 23rd place of the table and have just one point to their name this season; likewise, the Hatters will view the Wednesday game as a good chance to get pints on the board.
Games against West Brom, Bristol City, and Coventry will prove tough, especially the latter two given that they’re both away from home and only three days apart.
Rohl also has the Blackpool clash to contend with, though expect him to name another completely-changed XI and potentially play around with the formation and shape.
It’s still very early into this season. But so far, the signs are quite worrying for Sheffield Wednesday.
