Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal has told the Yorkshire Post that he believes he can turn things around.

The Owls were expecting to challenge for promotion again this season but that is yet to transpire. They have been on a bad run of form recently which has seen them drop down the Sky Bet Championship table to 16th. This culminated on Saturday when they drew 1-1 with South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley and the fans are getting more and more irate as they search for a win.

This run of poor form has seen a lot of pressure being piled on Carvalhal with many calling for him to be sacked. He has been given the backing of chairman Dejphon Chansiri but that might not last if the poor results keep on coming. But Carvalhal has insisted that ahead of their match against Millwall that he can turn around their season and get the challenging for promotion.

He said: “I understand (the negativity surrounding Wednesday),”

“Of course, it hurts you. We must do better and score more goals. I know how football works.”

“But we are not far away from changing things. I can’t be here under pressure or crying, I must give a positive message, must believe in the players and give them confidence, and so the same with the fans.”

“There have been a lot of negatives around in the last month. We can turn the things (round) so let’s do it.”

The Owls face Millwall tonight on Halloween where they have a good chance to get a win.
