In the wake of their victory over Brentford on Tuesday night, Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal has praised the fans for their loyalty during a difficult period.

In an interview with the club’s official site released on Twitter, Carvalhal thanked the fans for getting behind the team, and said he was ‘really pleased by their behaviour’.

Wednesday picked up consecutive home wins on Tuesday following Saturday’s 3-1 defeat of Forest, and the Portuguese boss will feel his side are back on track and on course for a place in the top-six.

The Owls face a tough trip to Cardiff City, who suffered their first defeat of the year against Preston at the weekend, relinquishing their spot at the top of the table to Leeds United.

Neil Warnock’s side will look to bounce back from the defeat with victory over the visiting Owls, who will look to continue their good form in south Wales.

The Verdict: Carvalhal’s words will be greatly appreciated by the fans, who will enjoy being thanked for their patience in what has been a frustrating period.

The Portuguese boss has been with the club for several years now and has endured playoff heartbreak on multiple occasions, and a simple message to thank the fans for their loyalty and support will go a long way.

The Owls appear to be back on track following back-to-back wins, and Carvalhal will relish the trip to Cardiff this weekend.

Owls fans, how confident are you of promotion this season?
