Sheffield Wednesday are determined to end another league hoodoo when they visit Ipswich Town this weekend.
The Owls have defeated the Blues just once since November 2006 and have fai;ed to beat a Mick McCarthy side in their last 14 attempts.
However, having beaten Derby County at the weekend, thus ending a run of 17 games without a victory over the Pride Park outfit, and having recently won at QPR for the first time in 17 years, the Owls are going for a hat-trick of rare wins.
“The lads have shown so much strength and resilience to come back stronger this season,” said coach Lee Bullen
“There have been a few games that we may not have gone on to win in the past, like against Cardiff and QPR.
“But we’ve broken down a few walls and hoodoos over the last few weeks.
“It’s the first time in ten years we have won five in a row, it’s the first time since 2000 we’ve beaten QPR away from home, the first time in 17 games we’ve beaten Derby.
“We’ll see how it goes next week with Mick McCarthy.”
