It has been a gruelling seven months since Sheffield Wednesday last tasted victory.
The relegated Owls have failed to win since their 2-0 triumph against Portsmouth at Fratton Park on 20th September.
Despite recording a third consecutive Championship draw against Charlton Athletic, the result extended Sheffield Wednesday's winless run in all competitions to 38 games.
Wednesday have set a number of records that will be embedded in the history books, including the earliest date a club has been relegated in the Football League.
There are several more in the pipeline that dedicated Owls supporters will be hoping they can avoid, including the ignominy of finishing the season on minus points and becoming the first team to fail to win at home in an entire campaign.
What is the longest winless run in all competitions by a Football League club?
Before Sheffield Wednesday, the most consecutive games a Football League club had gone without a win in England's top four tiers was 36 matches, which was set by Derby County in 2008, before being equalled by Macclesfield Town in 2018.
Derby's winless run commenced in September 2007, whilst in the Premier League as they drew seven and lost 25 of their remaining 32 fixtures to set the record lowest points tally in top-flight history.
Their inability to win a fixture seeped into the subsequent campaign as they failed to win their opening four league matches, before finally ending their winless run with a 2-1 victory over Sheffield United - 362 days after their last league win.
As for Macclesfield, there is an asterisk next to their 36-match winless sequence as it is actually split across two seasons in League Two that are six years apart.
The Silkmen dropped out of the Football League in 2012 as they failed to win a League Two fixture in the calendar year. Upon their return to the fourth tier in 2018, they required a further two months and 13 matches before recording their first league win of the 2018/19 campaign.
The 2025/26 season has seen history rewritten with the Owls eclipsing the record and they will be desperate to ensure their winless streak is ended sooner rather than later.
