Here is our review of Championship Matchweek four.<\/p>\n<h2>Championship Review: Matchweek Four<\/h2>\n<h3>Sheffield Wednesday Return To Winning Ways<\/h3>\n<p>Sheffield Wednesday made it three wins from four games as they narrowly defeated Luton Town 1-0 at Hillsborough.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/24396398\/Kadeem-Harris\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kadeem Harris<\/a>&#8216; tap in nine minutes into the second half ensured the three points for the Owls following their defeat to Millwall on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>However, Lee Bullen&#8217;s side faced a tough test against the newly promoted Luton Town, who dominated possession. The Owls impressive start could stand Bullen &#8211; the current caretaker manager at Hillsborough &#8211; in good stead to land the job permanently.<\/p>\n<h3>Jonathan Woodgate Earns First Win as Middlesbrough Manager<\/h3>\n<p>Following four games without a victory, Jonathan Woodgate finally landed his first victory as Middlesbrough manager with a 1-0 victory over Wigan Athletic.<\/p>\n<p>The 39-year-old has<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/315aa9c5\/Britt-Assombalonga\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Britt Assombalonga<\/a> to thank as his first-half header was enough to hand Middlesbrough the three points.<\/p>\n<p>Wigan&#8217;s best chance of the game came early on. Summer signing Jamal Lowe blasted straight at Darren Randolph in the Middlesbrough goal for their only shot on target.<\/p>\n<h3>How Did We Do?<\/h3>\n<p>Each week we take a go at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/08\/20\/efl-championship-preview-matchday-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">predicting the results<\/a> of each match.
