The 2007-08 campaign was a dramatic and tense fight for survival for Sheffield Wednesday, culminating in a 16th-place finish in the Championship as The Owls secured their top-flight status on the final day of the season. Despite a disastrous start that included a club-record six straight league defeats, the team clawed their way to safety. Leading the charge was the strike force, which included joint top league scorers Marcus Tudgay and Akpo Sodje, whose 7 goals apiece were vital in a season defined by a memorable Steel City derby victory and a last-gasp push for survival.
