From Triumph to Tragedy: How Sheffield Wednesday’s Derby County Deal Turned to Heartbreak
Luke Varney’s time at Sheffield Wednesday may have been defined by loan spells, but his connection to the club ran far deeper. Across three stints, he became a fan favourite at Hillsborough, contributing 11 goals in 43 appearances. Yet, his legacy is bittersweet—forever linked to the Owls’ heartbreaking relegation in 2009/10. Despite his temporary status, Varney felt every bit a Wednesday player, a bond made clear when he broke down after their final-day draw with Crystal Palace sealed their fate. Years later, he still carries the weight of that moment, proving his time in blue and white was anything but fleeting.

Hull City on the Brink: 20th Place, 45 Points—Can They Hold On, or Will the Drop Loom?
With only two games left against Derby County and Portsmouth, Hull City seems poised to secure their Championship status for next season—assuming they can win both matches. However, the road to survival is never simple, and many Tigers fans are eager for the team to seal their fate before the final weeks of the season.
Hull’s next challenge comes over the Easter weekend, with a trip to Swansea, who still have outside hopes of reaching the top six, followed by a home match against Preston North End, a side that has struggled on the road. While Hull has often shown the quality needed to avoid relegation, recent form—just one win in their last five—has raised some concerns.
Despite this, Hull’s solid defensive record and superior goal difference give them a crucial advantage over the teams around them, making it likely they’ll gather enough points to stay clear of danger before the season’s end.
Portsmouth’s Battle for Survival: Can They Hold On as the Drop Zone Closes In?
Portsmouth’s late equalizer against Derby County on Saturday has put them in a relatively safe position with just four games left to play. With a strong record at Fratton Park, where they’ve lost only five of 21 home games, and upcoming away trips to teams with little to play for, Portsmouth are well-placed to secure enough points to avoid a tense final-day relegation battle. Despite being the only team in this mini-league without a win in their last three matches, they remain favorites to stay clear of the drop zone.
