A win at all costs - Sheffield Wednesday forward says Owls don't have time

Garry Monk’s side head to Birmingham City with no league wins in the last six and just one in their last 10.

Da Cruz has yet to taste victory since his loan move from Parma three weeks ago and he has already realised the enormity of the situation at Hillsborough with the club sinking like a stone.

The Dutchman believes a win is a must at St Andrews and how it comes about is not the issue.

"It is not hoping (to win). We just have to do it,” he said.

“With the remaining games, there is no time to lose another match, we just need to do it now; however it comes.”

The 23-year-old admits his has been a tough start to life in English football, but he is convinced reults will turn around, based on the hard work he says is going on behind the secenes to rectify the current shocking form.

"It has been a bit difficult,” he added. “Somebody has to lose, but in training, every day we work hard. I see a lot of qualities and if we all stick together, we will turn things 100 per cent.

"Everybody is busy with changing and also staying all together. We are working on that every day and I see a lot of quality. The team is a really good team, but in a bad moment. In football, it can turn around quickly. We just need a win.”

With Birmingham in excellent form, a hugely difficult test awaits Da Criz and his team mates on Saturday, however the versatile forward is not expecting this one to be any dfferent to what he has already experienced so far in his short time playing in the Championship.

He said: "No, I don't think it is different from the other matches. We have prepared ourselves this week and have been busy and have to show it on the pitch on Saturday.”
