Irvine happy with point

Sheffield Wednesday boss Alan Irvine was pleased with his side's well-earned point at promotion hopefuls Swansea. But the result means that only goal difference is keeping the Owls out of the relegation zone ahead of the trip to Irvine's former club Preston. "I think we deserved a draw and had to work very hard for it as we knew there would be periods when we didn't have the ball and were prepared for that," he said. "Midway through the first half we began passing the ball much better and it was only in the closing stages that I felt a little worried. "Swansea have a fantastic record of winning games 1-0 and I was a little nervous as the game moved to a close. "We have recently played three of the top sides and not looked out of place but we have to build on these performances to push on and have a lot of hard work to do. "Four games ago we were hammered at Reading but the players have shown great character in coming back from that defeat."
