Sheffield Wednesday chief Steve Bruce is convinced there will be more "twists and turns" in the battle for promotion.

The Owls slipped to 11th in the Championship after Saturday's goalless draw at Stoke City.

With seven matches remaining, Wednesday are now three points shy of the play-off places.

But Bruce, who has labelled back-to-back home matches against promotion rivals Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest as "season-defining", is refusing to give up hope of gatecrashing the top-six.

"The tickly bit is upon us so I'm sure there will be a few more twists and turns yet," he told The Star. "There will be a few other shocks."

The Owls have propelled themselves into the top half of the division, having lost just one of their last 17 Championship matches (W8 D8). Under Bruce, Wednesday have taken 21 points from a possible 33.
