Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen expressed frustration with his team’s defensive lapses despite their commanding 7-2 victory over Bromley. The match took place on Saturday, with Sheffield Wednesday delivering a dominant offensive display that featured two goals each from Jamal Lowe and Louie Barry. Additional goals were contributed by Callum Slattery, Mason Burstow, and Gabriel Otegbayo. Bromley’s tally included a late penalty converted by Victor Adeboyejo and an own goal by Otegbayo.

Pedersen acknowledged the team’s strong performance during the first 75 minutes but criticized the manner in which they allowed Bromley to score twice late in the game. “How we finalised the game was not good enough, we gave two easy goals away,” he said. “This is not who we want to be.”

Elsewhere in League One, Blackpool overtook Bradford City at the top of the table following a comprehensive 4-0 win over Peterborough United. Goals from Jordan Williams, Dion Charles, Karoy Anderson, and Jerry Yates secured the result. Bradford, who were defeated 2-0 by Plymouth Argyle, dropped from first place as a result.

Huddersfield Town remained in second place thanks to a 2-1 victory over Cambridge United, with Joe Taylor scoring twice, including a late winner. Stockport County secured third spot after a dominant 5-1 win at Wycombe Wanderers, which saw Harry Wood score a brace.

In another fixture, Notts County came from behind to defeat Burton Albion 2-1 despite playing with ten men following the sending off of Curtis Tilt. Burton’s Finn Delap, the younger brother of Nottingham Forest’s £50 million player Liam Delap, scored his first professional goal during the match.

These results have reshaped the top positions in the league, with Blackpool leading, Huddersfield second, and Stockport third heading into the next round of fixtures.
