Equally, I'm not saying that it is solely down to him, but since James Beadle, our other ex-player that has gone there, Weds have picked up 16 points from 10 games (1.6 points per game) including 5 clean sheets (50.0%). That is opposed to the previous 27 games where they collected 22 points (half the number per game at 0.8 points) and had just 4 clean sheets (14.8%). They've started together in 4 games with 7 points taken (1.75 per game).
There was a fear from some, including "Massive" fans, that a relegation battle wasn't something that a rookie 19 year old who is bound to make the odd mistake at least learning his game, would be a liability. I think it's fair to say that he is proving them wrong now given that they are just two points off being out of the relegation zone, having looked at one point as being doomed. Although Beadle might have been only 17 when Famewo was there, he would have trained with the first team, I wouldn't mind betting that the management asked Famewo about his character and whether he thought that Beadle was up to the job not just from a pure technical perspective. Whatever the case, I think it's probably quite difficult for us to criticise either of them given they are both playing at a standard we can only currently dream of. For now at least because they aren't out of trouble yet.
Danny Rohl is annoyingly doing an outstanding job at Wednesday. They were absolutely dead and buried before he went to there. If they go down and keep him, they’ll be challenging right at the top. The comfort is that Wednesday going down is always funny and Chansiri normally finds a way of messing things up.
As for Famewo, seen him a couple of times this season and he doesn’t really seem to have progressed much since we had him. His positioning in the Leeds game this weekend was really poor and his passing was very hit and miss. His physicality remains good and his pace can get him out of a few tricky situations.

It's not really annoying. I'd rather face Huddersfield or QPR than Sheff Wed in L1 next season .
They appointed a new manager, maybe his ideas are getting through to his squad, just like NJ has improved our results.
True and there was an immediate and obvious improvement. However, Rohl was appointed 5 months ago and during the first 19 games, Wed picked up 18 points (3 clean sheets) I.e. less than a point a game which wouldn't have been enough to keep them up. It is the last 7 games, where they've won 5, that have been of NJ proportions. In fact, their two defeats were against the best two teams in the division, Leicester and Leeds with both games being 2-0.
Weds signed three players in the window - Pedersen (just one start in a 4-0 defeat), Beadle and Ugbo. It's Ugbo's vital 6 goals and Beadle's contribution in improving the defence (Famewo only started two of those wins) with one goal conceded in those 5 wins, that have got them 15 points, especially as three of those wins were by a single goal (and they had to play with 10 players for the last 15 minutes against Birmingham in their 2-1 win).

The annoying thing is that it won't be at the expense of Millwall.

Rohl has got Sir Chris Powell with him to assist.
I have loads of mates who are Wednesday and they accept that it will be a bonus if they stay up, BUT are very happy with the current management set up.
