Carlos Carvalhal has said that Sheffield Wednesday deserved a point after their 2-2 draw against Blackburn Rovers.
Wednesday left it late though, as Lucas Joao's 84th-minute goal earned a share of the spoils for the playoff hopefuls.
"It's not a question of playing at the beginning, it's about creating the correct environment so Joao can make the difference and we are trying to create this kind of environment," Carvalhal told BBC Sport. "Of course when you go on the pitch with energy in the correct environment, you are helping the team and scoring goals.
"We knew the environment of this game would not be easy because Blackburn have good players, a good coach, changed their coach, his first home game so they came with a full energy.
"We scored the goal, we tried until the last second to win. We deserved the minimum of a draw but I think we fought a lot to try and win the game."
The point leaves Wednesday eighth in the Championship table, level on points with the playoff places.
