Sheffield Wednesday's slow start to the season is not a cause for concern as other teams in League One also struggle. The Owls are only a point off the top six and three points off the top after two games. Many Wednesday fans knew this season was going to be a tough one, with lots of new players through the door, all needing time to gel. The team limped through their opening test against Leyton Orient to claim all three points, but were defeated by Bradford City on Thursday night. Despite a first half with several chances to take the lead, the Owls were unable to secure a win. However, a slow start by others in League One means it's not the end of the world for Henrik Pedersen's side. While Thursday night's result still stinks, Sheffield Wednesday are only a point off the top six and three points off the top after two games. This is a positive sign for the team, as they haven't been cut adrift already. Bradford are the only team to win two out of two, beating the Owls and Peterborough United, and are yet to concede a goal in the league. After the Bantams, there are seven teams on four points. That includes promotion contenders Luton Town and Huddersfield Town, as well as an early surprise package in Bromley. Wednesday are joined on three points by four other teams: Stockport County, Leyton Orient, Mansfield Town, and Peterborough United. One way to look at the start to the season is that it could be a lot worse for Pedersen. Leicester City were many people's title favourites, but they've started with a draw to Notts County and a defeat to Burton Albion. The Foxes should come good once they adapt to Russell Martin's style, because as we all know, he won't change. Another surprise, for the wrong reasons, is Plymouth Argyle. Opta's Supercomputer predicted they would win the league, but they've picked up one point in two games. Five other teams are on one point at the moment: Reading, Stevenage, Wimbledon, and Wednesday's South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley and Doncaster Rovers. The only team not to pick up a single point this season is Wigan Athletic. They lost 3-2 to Cambridge United on the opening day and then 2-0 to Leyton Orient. While it is still very early in the season, things could be a lot worse for Sheffield Wednesday. Ahead of a run of games, you can check on our fixtures page to see what's coming up for the Owls.
