Singing The Blues: Talking Sheffield Wednesday

It took a while - a very very long while - but we finally have a verdict and Wednesday will (probably) start next season on -12 points. Dom and James talk about the punishment, what happens next, and the likely impact on Wednesday's summer. Thank you to our awesome Gold supporters...

The end of the season - but not the end of the story. Wednesday limp over the finish line with two defeats - we look back on a week of defensive calamity and ask what next? Who would we keep from the current squad? And any loan players we'd like to bring back. There's talk of Garry Monk's future and of course the EFL charge, which rumbles on... and on.... and on.... and on.... Thank you to our awesome Gold supporters...

Well that's more like it - four points and two clean sheets in the last week for Wednesday. We reflect on victory at Loftus Road and a goalless draw at home to Huddersfield. Next up it's off down to Fulham and then back to Hillsborough to face Middlesbrough in Neil Warnock's 692nd retirement 'farewell' game. And could there be a new face arriving soon at S6?

A shocker of a week as Wednesday fall to defeat twice. We try and find some positives - it doesn't go well. We also hear Garry Monk's thoughts - is he worried about not getting time to turn it around? And Dom gives James a fun quiz to work out just how rubbish we are right now.

A mixed week for The Owls with a win at Bristol City before defeat at home to West Brom on Wednesday night. We take a look at the talking points from both games. Plus the big question - is Alex Hunt in line for his first starting place? We chat about the players who've left S6 this week, and reflect on the news some players haven't received their full pay. And as ever, we talk to Garry Monk ahead of Sunday's trip to his old stomping ground, Swansea.

Football is back - and we reflect on a late point against Forest in a game where frankly we deserved to win. But we start this week's episode with our thoughts on a challenging subject in football right now - that of racism in the game. We are not here to preach, or to judge, but we feel it's important for us to show our support for Black Lives Matter and - more explicitly - for Sheffield Wednesday FC in their support of players taking the knee before the Forest game. There is no place for racism in football, or in society, in 2020. Among the other subjects on the agenda this week are a busy few days of deals and departures, the long awaited short of the EFL hearing into the stadium sale, and of course two games to come in the week ahead. Plus we hear from Garry Monk and the recalled Joe Wildsmith.

Yep it's been 105 days since Wednesday went to Brentford and lo... actually we'll not talk about that. But football is finally back - albeit with a very different. Dom and James look ahead to Saturday's clash with Forest. Who is likely to play, and who's not available? Plus hear from Garry Monk and Adam Reach.

Dom and James spend a fascinating hour with former Wednesday keeper Chris Kirkland talking about his time with the Owls and much more, including: -The moment he decided to leave the club as he was literally about to put pen to paper on a new contract -Why he was relieved to lose the number one spot to Keiren Westwood -The fallout from the Leeds incident including death threats and why he can't ever visit the city again -His own battles with mental health and what he's doing to help others -His new job - and hopes for the future -Why he's climbing Mount Kilimanjaro -His unashamed love for Liverpool... and Take That Thank you to our Gold supporter, Tyto Law: https://www.tytolaw.co.uk/ (https://www.tytolaw.co.uk/) Check out our Silver supporter, Who Knows Wins: https://www.whoknowswins.com/ (https://www.whoknowswins.com/) Contact us on Twitter: @DomAndJames @DomHowson @JamesMarriott Please subscribe to get Singing The Blues every week; just head to singingtheblu.es/listen UTO.

So the Championship is set to return in barely a couple of weeks - we hear the thoughts of a very frank Garry Monk. That's a member of Wednesday's backroom staff tests positive for Coronavirus - we discuss whether it's safe for football to be returning so soon. Plus three contract extensions to talk about - and the chance of a couple of unwanted departures. Remember, it's rubbish not having football - but our sacrifice is helping to save lives.

We edge closer to the return of Championship football, as Wednesday resume training. Bully's claim that the play-offs is still the aim comes under our microscope, along with which players would get the nod for the first matchday XI (which prompts a most unexpected but heated argument) And we hear from Barry Bannan on what the current training schedule is like and his thoughts on football without fans.

Dom and James are joined by former Wednesday Carlos Carvalhal, on the anniversary of that fateful weekend in London four years ago. We talk about his time in charge of the Owls, his thoughts on the play-off final and whether he'd do anything differently in that game if he could go back. Carlos also tells us about his continued close friendship with Dejphon Chansiri what he regrets from his third season in charge at Hillsborough. He also reveals why he expects to be back in England next season - and lots lots more. Remember, it's rubbish not having football - but our sacrifice is helping to save lives.

So it *should* be Eurovision this weekend, so James decided to create his own... He's scored countries on the strength of the nationalities of Wednesday players from over the years. Who will get the all-important TWELVE .... and who will be left sobbing over nil-points? Plus it's four years to the day since a sensational day out in Brighton for the play-off semi final - we have a good look back at that day, that match, and that 20 minutes of one-way traffic!

Sheffield Wednesday's EFL charge has been lingering for some time - but there's still so much uncertainty and many unanswered questions. In this special episode, we aim to answer every point and take a thorough look at exactly where things are - and what could happen next. We are joined by sports' lawer Kevin Carpenter, and Ollie Saxon from Tyto Law to sift through the evidence. Plus just what are the legal implications of the current Coronavirus situation - not just on the EFL proceedings, but on football as a whole and particularly contracts due to end soon.

OK, so we have no idea when next season will actually start, and there's a lot of questions to answer before then. But we ignore all that for now and piece together our dream Wednesday squad for the 2020/21 campaign. Three goalkeepers, five full backs, four centre halves, five central midfielders, four wide players and four strikers - with NINE new additions, all of whom we reckon are within Garry Monk's grasp. See what you think - what would your dream squad be? emember, it's rubbish not having football - but our sacrifice is helping to save lives. Stay home > Protect The NHS > Save Lives.

In the week of the anniversary of Wednesday's 91 League Cup win, we pick our ULTIMATE Owls 90s starting XI. Dom thinks it's going to be easy but there's some damn hard decisions in there.

There's still no football so this week we draw up ten categories to pick out the best - and worst - of the season so far. These are the awards up for grabs: Most Improved Player Young Player / Newcomer  Best Game Biggest Disappointment Best Player Seen At Hillsborough Best Signing Best Goal Best Player Worst Moment Best Moment We agree on some of them and reach a decision on most of them - but one of them will go to the public vote to decide.

Still no football (although we have a go at reflect on the scant news there is) so instead we set ourselves the challenge of picking the Wednesday Squad of the Decade. Dom's already done it for Yorkshire Live so we go through and debate the choices. There's agreements, disagreements, lots of reminiscing, and Dom even changes his mind on at least one occasion.

It has been an unusual few weeks in football, that's for sure. Dom and James get together to catch up with what's been going on. Dom chats about his interview with the chairman, Dejphon Chansiri. We reflect on what happens now for football, what it means for Wednesday's transfer dealings, and the effect on the EFL charge. Plus a few smiles on the way.

It's getting worse, not better, for Sheffield Wednesday. We look back at the 5-0 defeat at Brentford and some appalling performances to try to work out what's gone so badly wrong. Garry Monk's 'deep rooted issues' comment gets us talking too. Is this club just completely rotten? Owlpinions looks at the likely move to games behind closed doors and asks if that could be a blessing in disguise for Wednesday?

Wednesday have a week of being taught a few lessons on the pitch as Rooney runs the show for Derby then City's slickers control the cup tie. But what positives do we take from the second half against the Rams and some of the defending against the Champions? And most importantly, what can we take from those games into Brentford on Saturday? On Owlpinions we ask who you want to see in the Wednesday net at Griffin Park.
