da poker： Garry Monk is a manager under pressure currently, but according to journalist Alan Nixon his job at Sheffield Wednesday is not yet under threat.
da dobrowin： The Owls boss took over in August and at Christmas he had guided his side to third place in the Championship, but things have severely unravelled since then.
Wednesday picked up a much-needed win in mid-week but followed that up by producing a familiar defeat at home to Derby, their third in five games.
The Owls showed brilliant spirit to fight for the three points against Charlton, too, scoring in the dying seconds to spark passionate celebrations, yet they found themselves 3-0 down at half-time to Phillip Cocu’s team.
A late consolation goal from Josh Windass made the scoreline slightly more respectable but four shots on target simply isn’t good enough if the South Yorkshire outfit are to end their rut.
Nevertheless, despite growing frustrations amongst supporters Monk is thought to be safe in his role, according to Nixon.
His update comes in response to a fan asking about a rumour that a new manager has been lined up to take over, but it appears Monk will be given more time to prove himself.
It may be possible that the board will assess his performance over the remaining matches this season, as surely any continuation of the recent run of two wins in 13 league games will raise doubts about Monk’s future.
Who the heck is that?! Can you name all of these obscure Sheffield Wednesday players…
Elsewhere, Owls’ fans have been piling criticism on one player for his performance against Derby.
