Danny Rohl reacts to David Wagner jibe after Sheffield Wednesday 2-2 Norwich City | OneFootball

Sheffield Wednesday produced an impressive comeback in their Championship survival fight on Tuesday night.

Hosting Norwich City at Hillsborough, the hosts found themselves 2-0 down at half time thanks to goals from Josh Sargent and Borja Sainz.

But after Owls boss Danny Rohl made some big substitutions at the break, his side were able to fight back and claim a valuable point, thanks to strikes from set-pieces from Michael Ihiekwe and Michael Smith.

While that brought some welcome relief and fresh hope for those of a Sheffield Wednesday persuasion, it did not go down quite so well in the opposition camp.

Speaking after the game, Norwich boss David Wagner had described Rohl as a "German Tony Pulis", after what he felt was an "old-school" style of play in the second half of that match.

Now though, it seems as though those claims from his opposite number, have not caused too much concern for the Sheffield Wednesday manager.

Danny Rohl reacts to David's Wagner Tony Pulis dig

The way in which some have taken Wagner's made this comment, combined with the fact that Pulis' style of play was often far from heralded, some have taken those claims to be a dig at Rohl.

As a result, it is perhaps no surprise that the Sheffield Wednesday boss has now been asked for his take on what Wagner said.

However, Rohl appears to be unflustered by that assessment, taking them in good spirit, and he is instead focused on ensuring his side pick up the points they need to stay in the Championship.

Responding to those questions about being described as the "German Tony Pulis", the Wednesday manager told The Sheffield Star: “I am surprised you didn’t say ‘Hello Tony’ to me today!

"For me, I am not a manager who speaks about the opponent. If you want to do this, you do this. It is not my direction. I like to speak about my team and what we can improve.

“For us it was necessary to make a change to come back into the game. I found a way to come back into the game and this is a quality for my team, for my coaches and for myself. We found a solution to come back in. That’s it. We take the point and that’s it.”

Sheffield Wednesday have hope in relegation battle

Regardless of Wagner's thoughts on how it came about, that point could prove to be crucial for the Owls come the end of the season.

Thanks to their draw with Norwich, and results elsewhere in midweek, Wednesday are now 22nd in the Championship table.

They are level on points with 21st place Huddersfield Town, only inside the relegation zone on goal difference.

Next up for Sheffield Wednesday is the visit of another side threatened by relegation, Stoke City, to Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon.

Danny Rohl has taken the right approach to David Wagner's comments

You can't blame Rohl one bit for not being concerned about what Wagner has said here.

The Sheffield Wednesday boss is employed to get positive results for his club, not to satisfy opposition managers with how his side sets up to play.

At half time in that game on Tuesday night, it was clear that he had to make alterations if the Owls were to get something from their game.

That is particularly the case for Wednesday, given how important every point could be to them in their battle to stay in the Championship, and in this instance, the decision to change approach certainly paid off.

Because of that, there will not be anyone connected with Sheffield Wednesday who will be complaining with what he did on Tuesday night.

Indeed, in such a results-based business, what Rohl did to get his team something from that game will only enhance his already burgeoning reputation from his time in charge of the Owls this season.
