Wednesday did not deserve to win against Hull in the Championship playoff final, but the Owls certainly had a great season.

Carlos Carvalhal’s side played some good football, and they reached the playoff final because they deserved to.

It must be hugely disappointing for everyone at the club, but Wednesday need to be positive about next season.
