Sheffield Wednesday are yet to score a Championship goal under new manager Jos Luhukay but surely against Birmingham they can break that duck?
Sheffield Wednesday drew their third successive Championship match 0-0 against Middlesbrough and their fourth in six matches since Jos Luhukay was named manager.
The only goals the Owls have scored since Luhukay was appointed as Carlos Carvalhal’s permanent successor on January 5 have come in FA Cup victories against League Two duo Carlisle United and Reading.
In the second tier of English football the new Wednesday boss has played Lucas Joao up front in all four games since he took charge and Jordan Rhodes in three.
It is clear just how much the South Yorkshire outfit are missing injured strikers Steven Fletcher, Fernando Forestieri and Gary Hooper, but this weekend still represents a great chance to record that first league effort under Luhukay.
That is because Birmingham City are the visitors to Hillsborough who, although being fresh off the back of beating Sunderland 3-1, still have a poor defensive record and should represent a good opportunity for the Owls to win.
If not, then this unwanted statistic for Luhukay could start to become a bit of an issue as the 54-year-old looks to get his new team moving up the table.
