‘Class’, ‘Makes a difference’ – Many Sheffield Wednesday fans are loving one man’s performance vs Coventry City
Tony Pulis collected his first three points as Sheffield Wednesday manager following a hard-earned victory over Coventry City at Hillsborough on Saturday.
Pulis had endured a difficult start to his reign in the Wednesday dugout, collecting just three points from his opening eight matches as Owls boss.
Tuesday’s crucial defeat at Nottingham Forest left the Hillsborough outfit seven points from Championship safety and in serious danger of being relegated.
However, Tom Lees’ late strike earned some Christmas cheer for Wednesday, who climbed off the foot of the second-tier standings thanks to just their fourth league win of the campaign and moved to within touch of 21st-placed Rotherham.
Do you love Sheffield Wednesday? Here’s 19 basic questions about the Owls that almost every fan of the club should be getting right.
Not only was it a long overdue victory, but it was Wednesday’s first clean sheet since 28th November, which probably wasn’t a coincidence due to the return of Keiren Westwood, whose missed the last six matches with a groin problem.
Here’s how the Hillsborough faithful reacted to the 36-year-old’s performance against the Sky Blues following his string of fine stops:

Garry Monk not playing Westwood was purely because he couldn’t handle a character like his in the dressing room. The daft both Bruce and now Pulis (who can) see him as valuable shows this. #swfc

Westwood, Lees & Dunkley class for me today. @WestwoodKeiren looked exactly like @WestwoodKeiren which is what we would expect from classy Irishman, oozes a calmness to everyone in front of him and means we can build on foundations in the game rather than building on sand. #swfc

Fairplay to Westwood today for playing his part in keeping a clean sheet for #SWFC. A solid day of stats for him:
5 saves
2 aerial duels wonHis distribution was still questionable but we know that already and that's often consequences of playing long from goals kicks. pic.twitter.com/fQ67JyRNSo
