@owlstalk Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Dom Howson has produced a piece for the Sheffield Star this morning that seems to reflect how things are more than any other piece he's put together in the past (maybe taking note that Jon Newsome's style is one to be looking to in order to attract readers who respect pure honesty) Here's a snapshot of what he is saying: The team are not in a false position. They have been consistently inconsistent and are where they deserve to be. If you had to select a shortlist right now for the player of the season award, there are only two genuine candidates; Barry Bannan and Gary Hooper. So many individuals have struggled to hit the heights they have produced in the two previous seasons. It is true Wednesday have been on the wrong end of some awful refereeing decisions this season and a number of key players are sidelined by injuries. However, that can’t excuse a string of wretched performances. This expensively-assembled squad packed full of big names and players boasting international pedigree ought to be able to rise above any problems and continue churning out results. Their first half showing last Saturday against a woeful Hull City side was nothing short of embarrassing. No shots on target (again). No pace. No creativity.Read more at: https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/dom-howson-s-sheffield-wednesday-column-owls-campaign-is-on-a-knife-edge-1-8897380 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl999 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The local journalists and expert summarisers ( ex players ) are generally the last to turn on a manger due to professional respect and etiquette, it seems that time is now here, Mr Chansiri's blind faith in Carlos is going to do him no favours with a fan base that are increasingly questioning his ability to run a football club . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more factual than opinionated. The only opinionated bit is that he thinks Bannan or Hooper should be player of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and I don't want it on Owlstalk Have an opinion, have a say on footballing matters and give us your thoughts by all means But I'm sick of people coming on here hurling personal abuse at other members or footballers or journalists. Let's keep it classy and discuss the topics and not the people who are discussing the topics Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
