‘What were our tactics?’ – Sheffield Wednesday fans react to latest defeat

Sheffield Wednesday endured another miserable afternoon as they were seen off 3-1 by Derby County.

The Rams dominated the first half and went into the break three goals to the good, much to the dismay of the remaining home fans.

Those remaining fans – a lot had left before half-time – did at least witness a better second period as the Owls got one back against Phillip Cocu’s men.

However, it remained another poor afternoon for Garry Monk’s men. The Owls are now struggling down in mid-table.

Indeed, Wednesday only sit 11 points clear of the relegation zone and with a pending court case which could lead to a points deduction, the drop may well be a real fear for the club.

As is becoming the norm after games lately at Hillsborough, there was plenty of reaction on from Wednesday fans.

It seems that a lot of Owls fans are calling for change. Although, it’s not all aimed at Garry Monk, with a number of supporters calling for the owner, Dejphon Chansiri, to step aside.

Here’s a selection of tweets, then, showing the disappointment of Owls fans after today’s loss.

One of the talking points of late has been the goalkeeping situation. Cameron Dawson has been given the nod of late but some fans are still making a point about Kieren Westwood.

As much as Garry Monk is doing his best to turn things around, football is a results business.

Given that fact, the results and points on the board of late have simply not been good enough. It goes without saying, then, that Monk is now under massive pressure.

Results will need to change and quickly. However, with further tricky games coming up, it could well be the beginning of the end for the Wednesday manager soon.
