@owlstalk Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 We've seen the likes of Wildsmith and Thorniley breaking through to the first team but that's natural progression made all the more easier with the change of manager from Carlos to Jos and the new boss opening the doors to them coming in. Can't really class those as 'most improved' so I think we have to look at the first teamers really such as Atdhe Nuhiu and Lucas Joao. Who would be your most improved player of Sheffield Wednesday this season? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 1. Nuhiu 2. Joao 3. Fred (started very shakily but got much better) Nuhiu and Joao have been transformed, especially Atdhe. We can take huge confidence for next season from this. If Jos can squeeze even 10% more from Hooper, Bannan, Lees, Reach and Hunt, and if he can motivate Fernando to play at his best we are an absolute shoe-in for a season challenging at the top.

torryowl Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 pudil as been a revelation since switching to a central position .. . joao & nuhiu have stepped up from last season .............players like fred, thorniley ,dawson clare have done well but having not really seen them before I cant say if they have improved . ......if I had to make a choice i'd say pudil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan J King Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 1. Nuhiu for definite. I personally think he deserves player of the year not only for fantastic play but for the ways he encourages fans to be louder, his heart is here with this club and every game he plays 2. Pudil 3. Thorniley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Siince jos arrived I think just about every player who has played for him has improved, but my main players are: 1) Nuhiu 2)Joao 3) Reach Reach has found his best position in a central midfield role, where he is involved in the game more.

Adam Reachs left peg Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Going for reach had lots of stick since he signed but been a miles better player this season, scored some screamers and made some important assists gone of the boil again recently but probably winding down for the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A E Neuman NYowl Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Reach, didn't think there was a player in there, but has proved me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) I was always worried when Pudil was on the "Carlos" team sheet. However, I have been quite happy with him since Jos took over and gave him regular games in a back three. 1. Pudil But is not the future...thats another thread Then we have Lucas and Atdhe who have been great for Jos 2. Lucas 3. Atdhe And finally for me is Frederico. Didn't get a look in under Carlos but has certainly now proved his worth. 4. Frederico Edited April 20, 2018 by Lombado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Reach, not at his best the last few games but overall a great improvement on last season. Personally he'd get my vote as player of the season as well as most improved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would all be saying Nuhiu wouldn't we. Has to be player of the year for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I don't think Lucas has improved his ability he's very gifted, maybe he's had a change of attitude or the tactics are more to his liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) I would say that it’s a close decision between Joao and Reach for most improved - not Nuhiu, as many will say. Atdhe has become our most effective player and made himself the first name on the teamsheet but he has only improved his fitness and goal scoring. He already had the quality to play with his back to goal, retain possession, bring in other players, beat a man with his close control, set up chances for others with clever assist play, compete aerially, etc. You could see that he had the quality prior to his recent purple patch and he has tended to have a real positive effect whenever he was brought on late in games. The difference now is that Jos believes in him and is playing him from the start. Nuhiu is for me, our player of the season without a doubt and by a long way. He is immense!!! However, Reach and Joao have improved immeasurably. Both have improved their decision making, stamina, strength, physicality, shooting, goal-scoring, distribution, pace, positional play and creativity. Additionally, Joao has improved in temperament (remember the tears), his calmness (in possession) and his aerial ability and Reach has improved his crossing and leadership. Both players have transitioned from junior into senior professionals in front of our very eyes. Its a very close call but if I have to choose then it’s Reach by the smallest margin over Joao because there was a spell earlier in the season when Reach was singlehandedly dragging us through games - he showed real character.
