da jogodeouro： Sheffield Wednesday have enjoyed eight of their 14 Championship matches with Garry Monk at the helm, and it is safe to say that they are currently on the right path.
The Owls have lost just one match under the 40-year-old as they sit in fifth position, only three points from the league-leading West Brom, who failed to win either of their games last week.

It is now 15 points from a possible 24 after Saturday’s 0-0 stalemate against local rivals Leeds United, which before the game had Monk well on track to surpass his three previous predecessors.
His impact at the club has been highlighted by Adam Reach, who spoke after that draw about the former Swansea City man.
The 26-year-old has started every single match under Monk, primarily on the right-hand side of midfield, so there’s no one better to explain just how well the manager has done than a player that has been a regular under him.
Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield, Reach said:
“We have stuck in there and got ourselves in a good position and finally I think we have got a manager who is the right man at the right time and we have got the quality of the players.
“We have got someone who is improving every player.
“I think everyone can admit they have improved in some area under him and we need to keep that going.
“There is plenty more work to do. We are always striving to get better.”
This glowing review of Monk’s reign so far only goes to show that Wednesday are serious contenders for promotion this season.
The division is hugely competitive with just four points separating second to 12th, which is crazy, but that doesn’t neglect the Owls’ chances one bit.
The 40-year-old is working with a squad that was completely inherited, meaning he’s effectively managing a team built by Steve Bruce, and to some extent, by caretaker boss Lee Bullen.
He can’t stamp his own mark, player-wise, until January if he chooses to do so.
Losing just one game in eight matches at a club that hasn’t seen the playoffs for over two seasons now is mightily impressive, and they’re only just improving.
After Blackburn Rovers this weekend, the south Yorkshiremen have to play West Brom and Swansea City, which should prove Wednesday’s credentials this season.
It certainly has been the right man at the right time.
