Rohl pleased with Owls' desire, despite Hull defeat
Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl said his side showed enough desire to beat Hull City, despite their 1-0 defeat on Saturday.Charlie Hughes scored a 94th-minute winner to ease the Tigers' Championship relegation fears.But Rohl credited his players' effort in the game after they were not paid last week amid growing uncertainty at board level."Big credit to my team, to take this tough week, to stay here and go again, to fight again for our club," he told BBC Radio Sheffield."It took time to come into it, but in the second half it was one direction."It's hard, but the key message for me is that this team has big, big character and big, big belief. A lot of players take all the setbacks again and again and it makes me very proud."Rohl said he never doubted his players' motivation, but also admitted the club is not ready for the play-offs this season, as they sit eight points adrift of sixth place. "The motivation comes from the inner circle, there's no question mark. The emotional level was there - they want to fight, they want to go and do everything, but you can understand what it means for this group," he added."It makes no sense to speak about the play-offs. We should be honest, and we're not ready for the play-offs. "We did an outstanding job and felt we were always close, but in the second half of the season in all these tight games, we could have won maybe six home games, but we didn't."

'Don't expect immediate fireworks from Laalaoui'
Hull City have signed Morocco Under-20's midfielder Reda Laalaoui but what can the 20-year-old bring to English football?Laalaoui joins from Moroccan side Fath Union Sport in his first move outside of his home football journalist Mark Gleeson has been speaking to BBC Radio Humberside about how he believes Laalaoui is a "bright little prospect" but might take time to show his true ability as he eases into life in England."The Championship is physically such a big deal, it's a big man's world. I think it's going to be a slow process," Gleeson said."I'm not sure he's going to make an impact initially, it might be a bit of a punt on a long-term talent rather than someone who is going to make immediate waves."I think the Championship is not the forum for silky African skills, I think it takes a while. My gut feeling is don't expect immediate fireworks."Listen to Gleeson's full thoughts and more on BBC Sounds.
