Pedersen says 'reaction was good' from Sheff Wed in Millwall loss

Sheffield Wednesday boss Henrik Pedersen felt his side showed the right response in their hard-fought 1-0 loss at Millwall after Sunday's derby humiliation against Sheffield United.

Pedersen was pleased with his players' attitude and they pushed promotion-chasing Millwall all the way, hitting the woodwork through Charlie McNeill and Jamal Lowe.

He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "The boys are back again. We saw our boys with a big, big heart, fantastic mentality and a good togetherness. We worked really hard against a very good and strong opponent.

"We had big chances at important moments. We have to be better to score when we get the chances and we are working on it, but the fundamentals to win football games are a top heart and top togetherness, and the boys showed that in a really good way.

"When we performed like that [Sunday] of course we spoke about it, we had to be honest about it. We had a good meeting and the reaction was good."
