Top 5: Sheffield Wednesday fans’ summer expectations

4. Pre-season friendlies

A pre-season trip to Portugal has been on the agenda over the course of the last two seasons, most likely due to Carlos Carvalhal’s links with the clubs in his country of birth.

Friendlies, home and away, are expected to be announced in due course.

This will certainly give the Wednesday faithful something to get their teeth into as the summer months can be a long drawn out process for any football fan.

Once again, the expectations will rise and lasts seasons play-off semi-final defeat can be forgotten.
