Ross Wallace played an important role as Sheffield Wednesday beat Fulham at the weekend.

Ross Wallace stepped up to help Sheffield Wednesday record a 3-2 win over Fulham at the weekend, having a hand in all three of his side’s goals.

The former Burnley and Celtic winger provided three assists, with Fernando Forestieri, Tom Lees, and Michael Turner the recipients.

His accuracy was so good that no other player in the Championship made more accurate crosses than he did all weekend (7).

Blackburn Rovers’ Craig Conway and Alan Judge of Brentford continued their consistent starts to the season, which has led to them making more accurate crosses than any other players in the Championship to date in 2015/16.

Ross Wallace trails behind them in fact, with seven of his 13 accurate deliveries this season coming in the game against Fulham.

Clearly the Owls need the Scotsman to become more consistent and start repeating his heroics on a week-to-week basis.

The victory took Wednesday up to 14th, with the side previously having an underwhelming start to the season.

They are only three places off a play-off spot however, with the division so tightly contested, and if they can put a run of wins together now then their prospects will start looking up.
