The Owls watchers have seen 15 in their last three Championship games, which have all ended 4-1.

And the Carling Cup tie with Rotherham United saw both keepers Lee Grant and Andrew Warrington frequently beaten.

Eight penalties flew in after the 2-2 stalemate in 120 minutes.

But it's the league action which has thrown up a remarkable series of 4-1 scorelines in a row.

That started back last season in an anxious last game of the season match up with Norwich.

Wednesday were still in relegation jeopardy when Darren Huckerby deepened concerns around Hillsborough with a ninth-minute goal.

Deon Burton hit the first of his goals from the spot, after drawing a foul from Norwich centre back Jason Shackell. Ben Sahar, now on loan at Portsmouth, and Leon Clarke scored the others.

Wednesday had started last season with yet another 4-1. It was at Ipswich that dismal run of six league defeats began.

A year later the Owls hit the ground running, this time doubles from Marcus Tudgay and Akpo Sodje left Burnley wondering what had hit them.

The flying start was short- lived but still the goal count registered well above the average with Etienne Esajas scoring both against Rotherham and then briefly giving Brian Laws' team hope with a goal at Molineux before Wolves hit four without reply.
