Owls boss Pedersen on defeat at QPR

Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen spoke to BBC Radio Sheffield following Sunday's 3-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers.

"The boys gave everything today. We had a difficult beginning to the game where they were more dominant than us, and then we changed the formation after 20 minutes and then we got defensive control of the game and we were stronger on the ball," he said.

"From the beginning of the second half, the boys played much more brave. On the ball they made many more brave movements behind the opponent and, until the 81st minute when they scored to make it 2-0, I thought it was a very equal game.

"Especially the second half, we can be proud because this is what we want to see more of. We want to see brave, young boys who want to play forward, who want to play with risk going forward.

"Today we had three senior players in the starting XI, but how the young guys are doing is much more than what we can expect from them."
