‘It means’: Chansiri told he was ‘shamed’ as Sheffield Wednesday managed one ‘remarkable’ feat vs Wrexham

After being the centre of attention for some time, Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri has been told that he was left ‘shamed’ after the fight shown by the players

Sheffield Wednesday drew with Wrexham, earning their first points of the 2025/26 Championship season.

Sheffield Wednesday accomplished the unthinkable after losing 2-0 at halftime, with former Blade Kieffer Moore opening his Wrexham account and then latching on to a second following a mistake by emergency goalkeeper signing Ethan Horvath. Coming up against a club that had been heavily backed in the summer window was always going to be a difficult task for Henrik Pedersen’s side, but Sheffield Wednesday staged an incredible comeback, thanks to goals from Barry Bannan and Bailey Cadamarteri, with Charlie McNeill coming close to sealing the win at the end.

It was a performance that reminded Sheffield Wednesday fans, if they needed it, that the current generation of players has already demonstrated their fighting spirit after a turbulent summer, and today’s performance served to put their current circumstances to shame.

Alan Biggs slams Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri after ‘remarkable’ Owls performance

Sheffield Wednesday’s draw against Wrexham may only be the first point on the board in the larger scheme of things, but it demonstrates that the current Owls team can defy expectations, even when put to the test. The Owls’ first team has been completely dismantled, with several key players leaving, and much of this can be attributed to the club’s bad management under Dejphon Chansiri. Sheffield Wednesday were expected to fail this season following a rough summer, but they proved many wrong with their performance at the Racecourse Ground.

Reflecting on the draw, Alan Biggs on X wrote: “Sounds like Sheffield Wednesday’s management and players have humiliated the club with that extraordinary fightback today. It indicates that there is heart and soul in the dressing room. The offices, too. Doesn’t imply it’s anywhere else.”

Henrik Pedersen will be keen to build on the top Owls’ performance

The second half was reminiscent of old Sheffield Wednesday, with Barry Bannan in command in the middle of the park. Henrik Pedersen will hope to build on his outstanding performance in the next games.

Wrexham, like Sheffield Wednesday, is winless in the Championship after a difficult start to the season, but they have invested heavily this summer and are in a much better financial position than the Owls. It only demonstrates that, despite the difficulties, Sheffield Wednesday continue to confound expectations. Whatever happens this season is not the responsibility of the players. Previous months of unpaid salaries, uncertainty about their future, and the looming fact that the owner is not assisting the club in the transfer market all highlight Sheffield Wednesday’s outstanding performance, and hopefully there will be more to come.
