Megson: Lesson has been learnt

Gary Megson says Sheffield Wednesday have finally learned their lesson after a comfortable 2-0 victory over Preston.

On-loan Wolves defender Danny Batth headed in Chris Lines' cross after a short corner caught the struggling Lilywhites napping after four minutes of Saturday's League One clash at Deepdale to put Wednesday in front, before fellow loanee Ben Marshall added a second after 42 minutes. After conceding four goals to draw with Huddersfield, including a 97th-minute equaliser, and letting in two stoppage-time strikes to lose at Walsall in their last two matches, Megson insisted the Owls have turned a corner. "That performance was much more professional, much more savvy," he said. "It's no surprise that we will score from corners. I was a bit disappointed at half-time that we'd had 10 corners and only scored one goal. "I felt we looked solid for most of the game, I thought we looked threatening. It was a really good performance given the last two, not results, but performances in injury time. "We've gone 4-5-1 and played with a lot more sense and gone a lot cuter, there's a lesson learned there and hopefully it is learned and we don't have to keep going back on the training ground in the wind and the rain and the cold, practising what we do in games."
