When Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town play in the Championship on Saturday, Kieran McKenna, the Town manager, may be keeping a careful eye on one Owls player.
Sheffield Wednesday’s next challenging match is against third-place Ipswich Town in the Championship on Saturday lunchtime.
In the final round of games, Wednesday’s 2-0 loss to Leeds United and Ipswich Town’s 2-1 loss to Cardiff City ended the winning runs for both teams.
Sheffield Wednesday will lose at Ipswich Town 2-1, according to David Prutton’s prediction.
With a victory, McKenna’s Ipswich might pass Leeds United in second position, while Danny Rohl’s Wednesday are now ranked 23rd in the standings.
Kieran McKenna might be observing Marvin Johnson during Sheffield Wednesday’s match.
A few players are the focus of attention for Saturday’s match at Portman Road.
Massimo Luongo, a former Owls midfielder, is expected to play for Ipswich, while Dominic Iorfa, a defender for Sheffield Wednesday, is expected to start against his former team.
Marvin Johnson might potentially be well-known today; Ipswich Town attempted to buy Johnson in January but was unsuccessful, having had a bid of over £1 million rejected.
After being benched by Xisco Munoz at the beginning of the season, the left wing-back has returned to the team under Rohl, making 22 appearances in the Championship with three goals and four assists.
Marvin Johnson rejoins Danny Rohl’s squad.
One of Sheffield Wednesday’s biggest tales of the season has been Johnson’s comeback under Rohl.
At the time, Munoz’s decision to bench him from the first team seemed strange; now that Jonson is thriving under Rohl, it appears even more absurd.
The left wing is now a true outlet for the Owls in games, and he adds a tremendous amount of creativity and quality to the side.
Johnson, who is 33 years old, is still going strong at the age of 33. He currently plays 90 minutes a week and is a bomber down the left.
However, Johnson has clearly piqued the curiosity of Ipswich, and he may also be among the players whose contracts expire in the summer.
The duration of his contract with Hillsborough is unknown, however he previously agreed to a one-year extension.
Therefore, Johnson will undoubtedly look for a new Championship club if the Owls are demoted this summer, and if Ipswich doesn’t get promoted, they may end up losing their man in the end.
So expect McKenna to have an eye on Johnson’s performance with the Town boss surely keen to see the impressive wing-back in action with his own eyes.
