Can Moses Odubajo launch a Morgan Fox-style comeback after a turbulent first few months at Sheffield Wednesday?

He wants determination, resilience, hunger. When discussing his priorities at the outset of his reign at Sheffield Wednesday, Monk was clear that the mentality at the club had to change.

It’s something he’s repeated a number of times since, never more vehemently than after the Owls’ humbling defeat at Wigan on Tuesday.

Telling is the fact he so often holds up Morgan Fox as an example of what he wants. He’s a warrior, he says. The sort of player he wants to build a club around.

And it’s easy to see where he’s coming from. Fox’s comeback from the public humiliation of being booed by a section of his own support earlier this season has been a shining example of those Monkisms; determination, resilience and hunger.

It didn’t come easy, but hard work has earned that glowing reference. He’s been one of the Owls’ most consistent performers this season and while some aren’t completely sold, that few dissenting voices questioned the imminent renewal of his contract tells its own tale.

But what of the man who deputised for Fox in the 0-0 draw with Millwall? Moses Odubajo has had more than his fair share of flack from supporters in his short time at the club and in many ways deservedly so; horror shows at Preston and Derby were bound to live long in the memory.

But if Fox can do it, why not Odubajo?

Seemingly cast aside by the Owls boss at the turn of the year, the full-back was left out seven matches on the spin. He was told he could leave the club in the January transfer window. A 19-year-old rookie took his place. After just a few months, it doesn’t get much more testing than that.

But a solid display on the left in a clean sheet performance against Millwall was his third start in a row, with Monk having praised his resilience and attitude in training.

Any glimpses of the Odubajo Wednesday supporters hoped they had signed have been more frequent going forward so far in his Owls career, but it was diligent defence that caught the eye this time out, keeping Lions threat Jed Wallace quiet in one of the fixture’s key battles.

There were trademarked lapses in concentration of course, but this is his best run in Wednesday colours by far. There have been times that his confidence levels have looked sub-zero but no longer, and while it will take much more than recent babysteps of improvement to atone for those earlier horror shows, you never know.

Aided in no small part by an injury to first-choice right-back Liam Palmer, caps should be doffed at the green shoots of a mini-comeback and all of a sudden you can begin to envisage the possibility of the 26-year-old ‘doing a Fox’.

Garry Monk wants determination, resilience and hunger from his future Sheffield Wednesday side. Moses Odubajo has shown all three in recent weeks.
