Once more unto the breach dear friends, once more. If Sheffield Wednesday win a game of football today, and Rotherham United don’t win a game of football today, the Owls will stay in the second tier of English football.

Anything less and they will spend the summer looking forlornly at a League One fixture list. It’s that simple.

Derby County v Sheffield Wednesday: Survival Saturday LIVE

That’s all from Darren..

Whether it was in this division or not it was always a going to be a busy summer.

All the conversations with players will be immediately.

I’ll be here. That’s what we’re here for. The focus and attention now is on the future.

DM on the player future

You pull the curtain down on the season, we move into the summer break.

With every single one of them there is a conversation to be had.

When we went 2-0 down, my word the spirit.

We didn’t manage to hold on. The boys gave everything today. It didn’t quite materialise.

I’m fine. It’s good to be back and the work starts now.

We have meetings booked and scheduled in and things will take their course.

We all have different opinions. The players gave everything today.

There were moments we needed more composure, your emotions take over the decision making.

Across the course of a season it is what it is. Sometimes you look at the 90 minutes.

DM on the points deduction

The fact is this season, they’ve had a lot thrown at them. It’s a credit they’ve gone into the last game of the season with a a chance.

They’ve had a lot to deal with and it’s a huge factor. We don’t look back at that.

They leave here with those words.

We’re devastated. It’s really hard to take.

The players are hurting in there. This our reality.
