Sheffield Wednesday winger Kadeem Harris is hopeful that the club's home form will help them bounce back from last week's defeat at Blackburn Rovers, when they host Swansea City on Saturday.

Despite taking an 83rd-minute lead through Jacob Murphy at Ewood Park, late goals from Tosin Adarabioyo and John Buckley ensured Wednesday returned to Yorkshire empty-handed, meaning the Owls have now taken just five points from their last four games, dropping out of the Championship play-off places in the process.

Even so, Harris appears optimistic that a return to Hillsborough - where Wednesday have lost once in the league this season - on Saturday will be just what his side needs, with the summer signing telling The Star: "I am confident we can get a reaction. Hillsborough is one of those places that a lot of teams don’t like coming to."

Discussing the importance of carrying that home form into their away games, Harris continued: "We need to take those home victories on the road. I think the performances have been there, we have just lacked something in our last few games on the road, but I am pretty sure that will change.

"As soon as we can affect those fine margins I am sure we will be in a good place."

Swansea meanwhile go into the game off the back of consecutive wins over Cardiff and Wigan, which has left them fourth in the table and only outside the automatic promotion spots on goal difference.

Harris, however, seems unconcerned by the recent form of Wednesday's next opponents, with the 26-year-old going on to claim: "I fancy us against anyone; the opposition doesn’t really matter for me.

"We have a very good team here. It’s about getting the points and proving that. "It’s important to get three points, but anyone can beat anyone in this league."

The Verdict

It is hard to disagree with Harris here.

Despite that recent setback, Wednesday have certainly looked much more organised and well-drilled under Monk in general, so they should still be more than a match for anyone, particularly on their own turf.

Indeed, it is worth remembering that the Owls are only one point outside the top six, and that that defeat at Blackburn was only their second defeat in ten league games under Monk, so this is far from a crisis for the Owls.

Add to that the fact that Swansea themselves have shown signs of weakness this season despite that recent good run - don't forget they needed a 92nd-minute winner at Wigan at Saturday - and there seems to be very little reason Wednesday can't get back to winning ways this weekend.
