Time running out for Sheffield Wednesday's under fire manager Garry Monk

[@owlstalk]

Garry Monk's Sheffield Wednesday need an immediate and significant reaction this Wednesday night if they are to try and recover the season and turn around a disastrous run of results including (remarkably) two losses at home in less than a week. 

The Owls face fierce local rivals Rotherham United in a game that could well see former Sheffield Wednesday wonderkid George Hirst net the winning goal that could see Wednesday relegated at the end of this season.

 

BUT many Owls fans have seen the challenge laid out in front of Monk, the lack of real spending by the club on players who have brought in a few new faces but on a shoestring budget (to say the least),  and have been remarkably patient as Monk settles his new Assistant manager, coaching staff and new players into the Hillsborough setup.

There is a growing vocal minority within the fanbase who are running out of patience and who have recently been a bit critical of the unlucky Monk, with some saying he should be doing slightly better despite the obvious points deduction, shoestring budget and with him having three quarters of his first choice players out of action through injury.

Thankfully though it's just a tiny fraction of the devoted Sheffield Wednesday fanbase who are voicing that opinion, as the silent majority understand the situation and who remain right behind the team and what Monk is trying to achieve in a season that all football experts have called 'mission impossible'

Many sports writers will point to the current run of form as disappointing but it also has to be said that in a season where one of the club's major and main signings was a player with a double broken leg, with metal pins in that leg, and somehow was still seen as a top signing by the Owls, it's also clear to anyone that understands football that the experts are right and that Garry Monk should be backed and not turned on by a vocal tiny number of fickle fans.

The experts in football all agree. Garry Monk's task at SWFC is not something they would expect anyone else to take on which begs the question, if the vocal minority get their way at Sheffield Wednesday and hound out one of the unluckiest managers in the club's entire history, who will want to take his place?

The message is very clear from those who really understand football.. "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR"

Excellent bait

Three quarters? Maths not your strong point.

Yes and don't forget he has been unlucky. It's not his fault he keeps employing the same rubbish tactics that fail to get results.

Awful underwhelming appointment at the time of his appointment, a huge step backwards from Bruce. Never rated him before he came here. He should have been axed last season, our home record under Monk alone is reason enough for him to be axed. Should replace him with someone like Paul Cook, whilst he's still available.

I fully support this message. If we lose the next two, however, Im out... 

[WalthamOwl]

There will always be someone who wants the job even in these circumstances. DC just has to pick the right person which imo is very unlikely.

Paul Cook got Wigan Athletic relegated

[Kopparberg]

Which fans on here would actually take over from Monk if allowed ? 
 

I reckon I would - and would win us a home game soonish (before 2023) 

[SallyCinnamon]

PAUL COOK IS THE MAN.

Absolutely crammed with facts that isn’t it?!

He didn't; their chairman did.

 

They'd have finished 13th were it simply down to results on the football pitch.

Monk is the luckiest manager in football. If it wasn't for the pandemic he would have been sacked a long time ago.
