"I saw again our boys play with a big heart": Pedersen after Wednesday suffer 1-0 Millwall loss
Owls hit the woodwork twice in the second half as they showed their defeat in the Sheffield derby last Sunday has not completely broken their spirit.
Femi Azeez scored on his return from injury as Millwall returned to winning ways in the Championship with a 1-0 victory over bottom side Sheffield Wednesday.
After seeing his side spurn a succession of chances after half-time, substitute Azeez's header earned the Lions their first win in five games as they rose to fourth in the table.
It was not all one-way traffic at The Den, however, as the Owls hit the woodwork twice in the second half as they showed their defeat in the Sheffield derby last Sunday has not completely broken their spirit.
Wednesday boss Henrik Pedersen said: "We were all very disappointed with the performance on Sunday (against Sheffield United) and as we spoke about with the team there will be some up and downs, but this was not the day to have a down.
"We were all very disappointed and the reaction from the boys today...I think it was great.
"They did everything that they could today to get a result back home, and for me I saw again our boys play with a big heart, with their big discipline, with their big commitment, their togetherness and also with their courage to play.
"Overall, I think they created more than we did, but we had some big chances in some big moments - two times at 0-0 and we also had the chance to come back at 1-0 down.
"With a little bit of luck, then we could also have scored and got something."
