The Sheffield Wednesday attacker will be looking to kick on after a decent start to the season.
Sheffield Wednesday’s start to the season has seen the massive improvements on-and-off the pitch echoed into the performances of every player in the squad.
From the Owls running rampant in the Championship opener against Plymouth Argyle, to the brilliant performance by a second-string side to see off Hull City at the MKM Stadium, Sheffield Wednesday have been brilliant in every sense.
The Plymouth game in particular showed just how shrewd some of Danny Rohl’s signings have been, in particular Svante Ingelsson and Yan Valery, who gained their plaudits after a brilliant performance.
Players from last season also lived up to the bill, including Josh Windass, who bagged himself a goal, and Barry Bannan, who was suggested to have ran the game by Plymouth Argyle boss Wayne Rooney.
There has not been one single player that has under-performed so far this season, however one player sticks out that could prove to be key for Rohl, if they fix one issue in their game.

Anthony Musaba must fix one key issue in his game
Sheffield Wednesday winger Anthony Musaba showed his qualities against Plymouth Argyle, particularly when it came to his dribbling abilities.
However, one glaring issue in his game was his ability in front of goal, with there being many occasions where he snatched at golden efforts, and in any other game that could be detrimental to the outcome of the game.
Per SofaScore, Musaba missed two big chances against Plymouth Argyle, and was unable to convert five shots, although on the other hand he performed exceptionally well on the passing front, with a 76% pass completion rate.
Danny Rohl must look to get the best out of Anthony Musaba
The Dutch 23-year-old clearly has a high ceiling when it comes to potential, and there is no doubt that Rohl is the best coach to help the winger reach the best of his abilities.
It happened on many occasions last season, as Rohl transformed Bailey Cadamarteri from nowhere into a Championship level striker, and helped Barry Bannan return to his best after influencing his playing style to work around the Scotsman in the centre-of-the-park.
Whilst Musaba isn’t far away from being a brilliant player, he must overcome his difficulty when shooting, and this as a result could transform Sheffield Wednesday this season, as alongside the likes of Jamal Lowe, Ike Ugbo and Djeidi Gassama, the Owls will have comfortable goalscorers across the frontline.
There is no doubt that Rohl can help him overcome this issue in this game, and with the added help from wing-backs in Rohl’s system, which is more effective due to the signings of Valery and Max Lowe, Musaba will be able to work in coordination with either wing-back and turned the left-flank in a real danger area and one that sides fear facing.
