Sheffield Wednesday were held to a goalless draw by Wigan Athletic at Hillsborough on Saturday, 12 September 2026, in a match shaped by repeated efforts against the woodwork. Mason Burstow struck the near post inside the opening minutes, the first of four such moments in what was a fairly even contest.
Whitworth and Lumley stand firm
Joe Whitworth denied Kieran Morrison with a save before Yan Valery headed narrowly wide for the Owls. Joe Lumley kept out a low shot from Reggie Walsh, and Whitworth then stuck out a leg to block another Valery effort late in the first half.
Second-half chances go begging
Jensen Weir's shot came back off the post just before the hour mark, but Walsh could not direct the rebound on target. Substitute Harry Gray fired over from a promising position deep into stoppage time as both sides settled for a share of the points.
Form and where Wednesday stand
Saturday's stalemate leaves Sheffield Wednesday's recent form at three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five games, summarised as DWWWL. The club finished last season 24th in the Championship, on -4 points from a 1-11-30 record over 42 matches, some way adrift of leaders Coventry.
