Henrik Pedersen reflected on the key moments at Hull this afternoon as Wednesday lost the lead and eventually went down to a 3-1 defeat.

The Owls manager said afterwards: “We spoke before the game and said that when we score or concede, for the next four or five minutes we need to do things simple to stay compact and get back in the game.

“There were some key times for us today. We scored but conceded right away, then we conceded right before half time, then conceded the third when we were on top of the game.

“I think we played a strong first half. We know Hull are one of the most intensive teams in the league and one of the best on the counter. We were strong defensively and we went one nil up but it was too short.”

Looking ahead to the international break  for the next fortnight, Pedersen added: “Now we need to rest, the players are tired. We have some days off and then we have seven games to go where we want to finish the season as strong as possible.

“Our aims are to finish on positive points and get our first home win to celebrate this with our fans.

“They were incredible again today and they have been all season.”
