Video: Pelupessy's ready to make amends for Birmingham City shocker ... starting at Barnsley
The Owls went down 3-1 to Birmingham at Hillsborough on Saturday in a match riddled with errors, however with a trip to Barnsley in the offing this afternoon, Pelupessy is insistent it was a one-off and that there has been no further dwelling on the abject display.
“Exactly like that,” he said, when asked if they had put the Blues game behind them.
“You have to forget it, it is one game, it can happen.

Despite being new to Sheffield, the importance of this game at Oakwell this afternoon has not been lost on Pelupessy, with both teams very much at the bottom end of the Championship table.
“Of course, it is so important - for the fans, club and everything,” he said.
“If you lose that game, then you are more disappointed than normal. You get a great feeling if you win.

“If we can win, we make a little step forwards. It is important to make the distance (between Wednesday and Barnsley) bigger.”
