"Everything so far has been a good learning"

BBC News4 days ago
Henrik Pedersen believes his side's first three games of the campaign have been a good learning opportunity for his squad.Speaking after the Owls' 3-0 home defeat to Stoke City - their second defeat from two Championship games this season - Pedersen told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It was a tough beginning, but we came back into the game well, were well organised, and had good intensity in our pressing."I thought we cold get something from the game at half-time, but we conceded again early after the break. We had more chances after that but then they got a third and that was too much."We had 15 shots and 10 on target so we showed we can have that intensity and compete, but we need more training time, so we can train how we want to play at the weekend."Everything so far has been a good learning for the boys. We are doing everything we can to get more players because we need a bigger squad, but we need more games at this level so that the players we do have can get used to playing with this intensity again."

Askey admits Truro need to improve quickly

Truro City boss John Askey fears a long season of struggle ahead if his side produce repeats of their performance against Tinners suffered a 2-0 defeat to leave them goalless, pointless and bottom of the National League table after three damage was done by two Tamworth goals in two first-half minutes and Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall: "[It was a] poor performance. They outfought us, out-battled us. It's tough at the moment. It's going to be a long season if we put performances in like that."We've got to improve and improve quickly. We were too easily beaten. I don't want to be too down on them but it was hard to get away from the performance." Truro have found it difficult adapting to life a level up in the opening weeks of their first season in the fifth tier, after winning the National League South last 2-0 loss at Tamworth followed defeats against York City and Wealdstone by the same scoreline. Askey said: "I don't think it's a lack of effort or commitment. We've just got to adjust to the league and we've got to think quicker."Get back into positions, be more aggressive, with and without the ball. Time will tell whether whether we can bridge a gap or not."
