Having a keen interest in Sheffield Wednesday statistics (#SWFCSTATS on Twitter) I regular update my blog with statistical updates as the season progresses during key stages of the season.

The Sky Bet Championship has now surpassed the half-way point and has now entered the new year. Twenty-six games have been played in the league campaign and the Owls sit firmly just below mid-table.

Below are my picks as the most interesting and insightful statistics from the 2017/18 league term this far.
