Dan Fudge speaks to Steve from @orientoutlook ahead of Sheffield Wednesday’s trip to Leyton Orient in League One.

We get the O’s perspective on expectations for the 2026/27 season, what Wednesday can expect tactically and whether this summer’s rebuild has addressed the issues Richie Wellens highlighted in his scathing assessment of the squad at the end of last season.

There’s also a closer look at some of Orient’s summer business, including Isaac Hayden, Jaze Kabia and the other new arrivals, as well as the key players Wednesday need to worry about and the areas the Owls could look to exploit.

Plus, we finish with predictions for the game and where both clubs could end up this season.

Join The Wednesday Week LIVE tonight at 8pm as we look back at another busy week at Sheffield Wednesday and the start of the 2026/27 season.

We begin with Wednesday’s 1-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers in the first round of the Carabao Cup, discussing the performance, the standout moments and what we learned from Henrik Pedersen’s side. We’ll also be following and reacting to the Carabao Cup second-round draw as Wednesday discover who they’ll face next.

There’s plenty to discuss away from the game too. We take a closer look at the signing of former Everton midfielder Tyler Onyango, Joe Emery’s new contract and the latest injury updates on Di’Shon Bernard, Cole McGhee and Billy Mitchell.

We’ll also discuss Sheffield Wednesday’s plans for a new Fan Advisory Board, the latest commercial developments at Hillsborough and the newly announced squad numbers for the 2026/27 season.

And after the club marked 100 days of the new “Reborn Era”, we assess just how much has changed at Sheffield Wednesday under David Storch. From more than 24,000 season tickets and significant stadium investment to new appointments, commercial partnerships, facilities, signings and renewed supporter engagement — how do Wednesday fans feel about the direction of the club?

Plus, Leyton Orient selling out, Wycombe Wanderers away ticket details and all the other Sheffield Wednesday news from the last seven days.

Join us LIVE from 8pm and get involved in the conversation!

The Wednesday Week is back with another Hello From The Other Side, as we look ahead to Sheffield Wednesday's Carabao Cup opener against newly-promoted Championship side Bolton Wanderers.

This week, Dan Fudge is joined by Ryan from Trotter Chatter to get the Bolton perspective ahead of the trip to Hillsborough. After meeting in the first round of the League Cup last season, the two clubs renew acquaintances with plenty having changed over the past 12 months. Bolton arrive as a Championship club following promotion, while Wednesday begin a new chapter under Henrik Pedersen in League One.

Ryan discusses Bolton's promotion-winning campaign, Steven Schumacher's influence, expectations for life back in the Championship, the summer transfer window, and the players Sheffield Wednesday fans should be keeping an eye on. We also revisit last season's cup tie, compare the direction both clubs are heading, and predict how the weekend's encounter might unfold.

With Sheffield Wednesday's behind-closed-doors friendly offering another glimpse into Henrik Pedersen's side, Dan and Alex discuss what can be taken from the reports and what we've learned about the squad so far. They also ask whether there's been a noticeable change in Henrik Pedersen's demeanour now that he no longer has to protect the club and its players from the uncertainty that surrounded last season.

The conversation also turns to Wednesday's summer recruitment, with Alex giving his verdict on the new signings, discussing who has caught the eye during pre-season, and highlighting the players he's most excited to watch as the 2026/27 season approaches.

It's been another busy week in S6 as the squad continues to take shape ahead of the new League One campaign.

We look at the departures of Svante Ingelsson and Olaf Kobacki, the arrival of highly-rated Aston Villa defender Sil Swinkels, and the growing speculation surrounding Pierce Charles' reported move to Manchester City. There's also plenty to discuss on the rumoured arrivals front, with Harry Gray seemingly on his way from Leeds United and fresh reports linking the Owls with a permanent move for Louie Barry.

Elsewhere, Barry Bannan has sent the fanbase into meltdown after appearing in training gear at St George's Park, while Joe Crann suggests both Bannan and Harry Gray deals are nearing completion.

Off the pitch, we discuss Sheffield Wednesday's return to Umbro, the changes taking place at the Megastore, the removal of the old club crest from the South Stand, and what it all says about the club's new direction. We also take a look at the latest fixture changes that have left some supporters less than impressed.

As always, we'll be giving our thoughts on the biggest talking points from another eventful week in the world of Sheffield Wednesday.

On this week's show, we reflect on an exciting week of signings, transfer rumours and fixture releases.

As preseason begins in earnest, the squad overhaul has begun with Liam Cooper, Max Lowe, Ricardo Santos, Jordi Liongola and Callum Slattery all signing deals that will see them plying their trade at Hillsborough next season.

Rumours continue to circulate as to who is next to feature in this season's seemingly RnB album-inspired photoshoot, with some exciting names continuing to be linked with the Arise revolution.

There's also the small matter of the League 1 fixtures being released, as well as the EFL Trophy and Carabao Cup draw. It's an age-old argument, but what do the guys think about a cup run in either competition this season?

All this and plenty more of the usual irreverent nonsense - get involved and share your own thoughts!

This week on The Wednesday Week, what started as a perfectly sensible discussion about Sheffield Wednesday's biggest Sliding Doors moments quickly descended into chaos.

The plan was simple: explore the butterfly effect of key moments in SWFC history. What if Wednesday had beaten Crystal Palace in 2010? What if Eric Cantona had signed for the Owls etc...

Unfortunately for Dan, the rest of the gang had other ideas.

What follows is a journey through key jangling, fan culture, football tribalism and a few long-held opinions that have apparently been bubbling away beneath the surface for years. With Stevie, Ash and Hollie expertly steering the conversation off a cliff, Dan finds himself saying things he probably intended to keep to himself.

As always, there's plenty of Sheffield Wednesday chat, plenty of laughs and more than a few moments that leave everyone wondering how on earth we ended up here.

If you're looking for a serious deep dive into Wednesday's Sliding Doors moments... don't worry, we'll try again next week.
