Sheffield Wednesday have a big season ahead of them in the Championship as they seek to overcome a 12-point deduction. This puts them already at the foot of the 2020/21 table and facing an uphill battle to avoid relegation.

The new season starts for them tomorrow as they face Walsall in the Carabao Cup, and Garry Monk was speaking to the media before the match. A cup run would be great for the club especially in their circumstances, but the manager's comments about the 'positive' atmosphere at the club caused plenty of reaction among the Owls' fan base.

Monk wants to make sure that the club can build 'unity', 'spirit' and 'togetherness' between everyone associated with Sheffield Wednesday, in particular the squad and the fans, and he wants to do this in order to bring a positive feeling around Hillsborough.

The squad will certainly need unity to overcome their difficult challenge in the Championship and, if Monk can generate good morale around the club, then they have every chance of beating the drop.

Here is what these Owls fans said following the manager's comments:
