Sheffield Wednesday’s Will Vaulks praises ‘phenomenal’ season as Owls join the Championship

“We made hard work of it, I think, after a phenomenal season where we got 96 points. It would have won promotion every other time in history, that shows you that we deserved it over the course of the season.

“After Peterborough you’re thinking, ‘Wow, it’s a mountain to climb, how are we going to do that?’ and the second leg was outstanding from the players. I was on the bench watching, and they gave everything.

“I think we learned from that, and in extra time I could feel everyone kind of looking each other like, ‘Yeah, we’ve got this’.

“Had we not have done then we’d have felt like we’d failed. The only aim was promotion, and we got it done in the end.”
