Sheffield Wednesday boss on need to bring in more players

Crisis-club Wednesday have started the Championship campaign with back-to-back defeats, the latest a 3-0 home loss against Stoke City on Saturday. Owls supporters protested in the build-up to the game, with fans carrying a coffin through nearby Hillsborough Park to signify the 'death of the club' amid ongoing financial problems under the ownership of Dejphon Chansiri. Pedersen was not too disheartened at the result but admits he needs to bring in more players. He said: 'It was a tough beginning. We conceded an easy goal after losing the ball. 'I thought the boys worked really well to get back into the game and we had some big chances to score. 'I think we had 10 on target or something. When he have intensity, we can compete very well and I think we are in the right direction, competing in many phases of the game. 'Of course we have too few players. We need a bigger squad and we are doing everything we can to get more players. 'We need to support the players we have now. The club is working to find solutions so that we can sign players as quickly as possible.'
