As Sunderland prepare to host QPR in a relatively low-stakes fixture, their eyes will be firmly fixed on events elsewhere in the Championship—particularly Coventry City’s clash with Middlesbrough. With play-off positions still up for grabs, the outcome of that match could shape Sunderland’s semi-final fate. Despite the fierce regional rivalry, many Black Cats fans might find themselves rooting for Boro this weekend. Why? History offers a clear answer—Coventry has long been Sunderland’s bogey team, unbeaten in their last ten meetings. A Middlesbrough win could not only deny Coventry a play-off spot but also set Sunderland up for a more favourable semi-final matchup.
Shea Charles has expressed his frustration with Sheffield Wednesday’s form leading up to their crucial win over Middlesbrough. Despite a much-needed 2-1 victory on Easter Monday, which ended a six-game winless streak, Charles admits the season could have been different if key moments had gone their way. “It’s been so frustrating,” he shared, reflecting on the team’s close calls, like the missed opportunity against Hull and the disappointing result at Cardiff. As he prepares for his final appearance at Hillsborough, Charles remains hopeful that his efforts have left a lasting impression, and regardless of the result, he’s set to receive a warm send-off from the Owls fans.
Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl provided a reassuring update on Gabriel Otegbayo following the defender’s early exit during their 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough. Otegbayo was substituted due to cramp, but Rohl confirmed that it wasn’t a serious injury, praising the young talent for his growth throughout the season. “Gab is a big, big winner of the season,” Rohl said, noting Otegbayo’s significant development since pre-season. The manager also highlighted the tactical adjustments made to help the defender read the game more effectively, adding that both Otegbayo and Pierce Charles, fellow academy graduates, have the potential to play in the Championship next season.
Otegbayo, who has made 14 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday, is seen as a future star for the club, with hopes that he will continue to grow and eventually become a first-team regular. The Owls will be keen to give him more minutes in their remaining matches against Portsmouth and Watford, as they aim to finish the season strong.
As Middlesbrough chase a late surge into the Championship play-offs, all eyes will be on the off-pitch drama at Hillsborough this Easter Monday. While Boro find themselves reinvigorated by a dramatic last-gasp winner against Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday’s season spirals into chaos. Manager Danny Rohl’s blunt assessment—that his players aren’t good enough for his style of football—has only deepened tensions between himself, chairman Dejphon Chansiri, and a divided fanbase. With Wednesday winless at home since New Year’s Day and sitting on the league’s worst post-January record, the narrative in Sheffield has shifted from football to survival—not on the pitch, but as a stable club.
