Sheffield Wednesday committed a grave error during the January transfer window, as evidenced by Barry Bannan’s injury.
Sheffield Wednesday had a lot of dead wood going into the January window; players like Lee Gregory and Reece James combined for just 21 appearances.
It was predicted that on deadline day, we would see both sides swinging out as they were eager to add players to their roster who could assist them win promotion.
Following Tyreeq Bakinson’s departure from the team due to performance issues, the Owls were rumoured to be interested in signing Conor Coventry of West Ham.
Instead, the midfield player left Sheffield Wednesday for Charlton Athletic, where he eventually joined Bakinson.
Supporters grimaced at the thought of being shorthanded for the rest of the season when George Byers also left the team on loan to Blackpool.
Though Will Vaulks and Barry Bannan have been outstanding lately, Momo Diaby has been their lone backup and he doesn’t seem to be playing at the same level as his more experienced teammates.
There wouldn’t be a problem if Bannan and Vaulks could play the entire season, but the former was forced off the pitch against Ipswich Town yesterday due to an injury, and he may now miss ‘weeks’ of action.
This leaves Danny Rohl with very few options to patch up his midfield and could leave both fans and George Byers himself wondering why he was sent out in January.
