Why Garry Monk has singled out this Sheffield Wednesday pair for praise
and live on Freeview channel 276
Prior to his arrival at Hillsborough, Harris hadn’t played more than 37 games in a single Championship campaign, but his start against Huddersfield Town was his 41st match of the season for the Owls, and he’s now 168 minutes away from having played as many league minutes this season as he has in the past four combined.
Both Harris and Odubajo have been heavily involved in the Owls last two games – the 3-0 win at Queens Park Rangers and draw with Huddersfield – and while the pair have been excellent defensively, they both came close to getting on the scoresheet too.

Hide Ad‘Mo’, who has had an up and down time of it in Sheffield so far, has given a glimpse of what he’s capable of in the wingback position, and it’s safe to say that his manager, Garry Monk, is pleased with what’s been offered out since the restart.
Speaking after the 0-0 draw with the Terriers, Monk said of Odubajo and Harris, “I think him and Kads on both sides have been fantastic, I really do… Especially Kads who has played a lot of minutes, and has had to be durable.
“I think the two of them, especially in these last two games, have been excellent… They’ve had to do their defensive duties, which they’ve done fantastically, and they’ve offered attacks.
“It’s tough going physically for all these lads, but they’re giving it their all.”
