Sheffield Wednesday boss Alan Irvine struggled to explain his side's new found form after they beat Blackpool 2-1 to climb out of the Championship relegation zone. Irvine, who began his reign with a 2-1 win at Barnsley last Saturday, said: "It's a fantastic start and the lads deserve enormous credit for the way they've gone about things.

"What has been the difference? I don't know. It could quite simply be a change of voice and a new face, but the lads have certainly taken a lot of things we have talked about on board.

"But it's early days and this could just be the honeymoon period. Having said that, I think Blackpool are a very good team so I'm absolutely delighted."

The 51 year old added: "We've had two fantastic away results, but we've got to make sure we continue it at home now and win enough games to stay in this division."
