The 2021-22 campaign saw Sheffield Wednesday mount a powerful promotion challenge in their first season back in League One, finishing a strong 4th place and qualifying for the play-offs. Leading the charge was the clinical striker Lee Gregory, whose 16 league goals proved decisive in a campaign built on fantastic home support and a 6-0 demolition of Cambridge United. It was a standout year that, despite the play-off semi-final heartbreak against Sunderland, signaled The Owls' determined resurgence.
