Danny Röhl commended the passion of Sheffield Wednesday supporters after their important win over Birmingham City on Friday night - and spoke of his role in easing fan unrest at S6.

Thousands of Wednesday fans lifted bright yellow flyers into the air in view of the Sky television cameras before the deserved 2-0 win in protest against the stewardship of chairman Dejphon Chansiri in what was the largest show of dissent against the Owls ownership to date. It came after a run of six matches without a win across all competitions and speaking after a victory that took his side back to within five points of the safety zone, the German coach was asked about the protest.

Röhl is well aware of the unrest from the terraces and discussed the role of his team in delivering togetherness at S6, speaking about the mission he is on to turn the club around.

"My focus today was 100 per cent on the game," Röhl told The Star. "I spoke in the media about some things. This is where we are but this is the reason I am here. I want to change some things, I want to bring everybody together because it is what we need. I have started my process here and hopefully I can do this in the next weeks and months. We can achieve our goals together.

"We have a great club with great supporters. This passion here in this city is, for me, outstanding. What I can do is bring good results and good results are always helping because everybody is more positive instead of thinking negative."
