I thought we were lucky.... but did enough to earn all 3 points!:D

Coventry hit the post twice late on but Sheffield Wednesday held on to a 2-1 win that extends their winning run to five in a row. Substitute Steven MacLean scored the winner at Hillsborough, just keeping alive their slim play-off hopes, but the visitors were only denied a point by the woodwork.

 

Marcus Tudgay opened the scoring for Wednesday before Michael Mifsud, one of those unlucky enough to hit the post late on, equalised with a fine solo effort.

 

Kenny Lunt and Steven MacLean were left out for the home side, replaced by Steve Watson and Leon Clarke, while Coventry were without a host of first-teamers, including Leon McKenzie, Colin Cameron and defender Adam Virgo.

 

Watson, who missed his side's impressive win over former employers West Brom due to an agreement between the clubs, soon found his feet, showing some neat footwork in midfield and reeling off his side's first meaningful effort.

 

Coventry's top scorer Dele Adebola had the ball in the net in the ninth minute but referee Phil Crossley ruled that he had fouled goalkeeper Iain Turner.

 

The target man's physical presence continued to unnerve the Owls but it was a touch of finesse from the home side that broke the deadlock after 16 minutes.

 

Tudgay was the scorer, releasing the ball down the right to Deon Burton whose neat touch wrong-footed the defence and left the former Derby man with a straightforward finish. It was the forward's last chance to affect the game and he hobbled off in some discomfort 12 minutes later.

 

Wednesday retained the lead when Adebola, causing problems from a long throw in the 25th minute, volleyed across goal only to be denied by an alert Frank Simek on the line.

 

Tudgay's replacement, the fit-again Jermaine Johnson, nearly put the Sky Blues two behind in the 33rd minute but instead it was Coventry who struck just seconds later.

 

Mifsud hunted down a long ball - poorly dealt with by Tommy Spurr - before weaving his way into the area, turning the hapless full-back inside out in the process and drilling the ball beyond Turner.

 

Chris Brunt, having one of his uninspired days at the office, could only get into the game from dead-ball situations but he nearly restored the advantage with a curling free-kick that Andy Marshall did well to parry.

 

Owls boss Brian Laws introduced MacLean for Clarke at half-time but it was Mifsud who was posing the game's greatest threat. Five minutes after the restart the Malta striker was again surging at the Wednesday defence, only coming to a halt when clattered by Richard Wood, who earned a booking.

 

Things were beginning to look promising for Iain Dowie's side and Adebola will regret not converting Jay Tabb's hanging cross while they were in the ascendance.

 

The tall striker headed wide when scoring seemed easier and then, with 21 minutes left, the hosts regained the lead.

 

Substitute Peter Gilbert's clever slide-rule pass put Brunt in space and although the Northern Ireland winger was again foiled by Marshall, MacLean was on hand to lash home from 12 yards.

 

Mifsud almost had the last say when he held off several tackles before striking Turner's near post and Kevin Thornton was also unfortunate when his reaction strike also hit the woodwork.
