Ike Ugbo’s problems in front of goal continued on Sunday as Sheffield Wednesday lost 1-0 to arch rivals Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, making it an extremely depressing afternoon.
There was nothing between the two teams in the first half of the Steel City derby, which was the first in more than five years. Wednesday may have had the better of the first forty-five minutes.
Nevertheless, United rallied after the interval and created the game’s lone truly outstanding moment in the 50th minute, when Tyrese Campbell scored following a superbly executed set piece to secure all three points and the right to gloat locally.
The loss puts the Owls in 15th place going into the November international break, only three points above the relegation zone in what is looking to be a difficult division.
Wednesday may have been unhappy not to have provided a stronger attacking threat of their own, but they will have been quite satisfied with their performance on Sunday, especially the manner they were able to limit the hosts to few chances, considering that the Blades are currently in second place in the standings.
Ike Ugbo was one player who found it difficult to contribute at Bramall Lane, and Owls fans are growing more and more impatient with the striker as he has yet to score a league goal since moving to Hillsborough for £3 million.
