The Sheffield Wednesday boss is confident in the quality of his side.

Owls boss Carlos Carvalhal spoke to reporters in the aftermath of his side’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Barnsley on Saturday, and bullishly insisted that he is still positive regarding his team’s play-off hopes, despite their poor recent run of form, as quoted by the Yorkshire Post.
Wednesday have won just one of their last seven Championship outings, and now sit in in seventh position in the table, after being overtaken by Fulham, who contrastingly are in the midst of an impressive run that has seen them lose just one of their last eight games.
But the Portuguese insisted that his side’s destiny remains in their own hands, when speaking to the media, whilst highlighting the importance of some key men who are set to return to the first-team fold, as quoted by the Yorkshire Post:

“Something positive to us is that we depend on nobody. We are in the position where we do not depend on others. We are still running and fighting. Let’s focus on the next game on Tuesday. We’re still fighting at the limit and, hopefully, we can rediscover some players we have out.”
And the South Yorkshire outfit are now presented with a fantastic opportunity to climb back inside the top six.
A trip to already relegated Rotherham United is followed by back-to-back home games against Newcastle United and Cardiff City respectively, and a healthy points return from those fixtures would dramatically increase their chances of finishing inside the play-off spots.
