Danny Rohl needs to strengthen two positions at Sheffield Wednesday next month, according to Dom Howson.
Cardiff City defeated Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in their last home game of 2023.
After Karlan Grant scored for Cardiff and Anthony Musaba gave the Bluebirds the lead in the first half, the visitors won all three points thanks to an unlucky own goal by Akin Famewo.
The Owls put on a strong showing overall, thus the outcome was disappointing.
However, goalie Cameron Dawson is being questioned once more in light of the mistake that resulted in Cardiff’s second goal.
The 28-year-old mishandled a shot and palmed it into the path of an advancing Cardiff attacker, who used Famewo to drive the ball over the line.
Although Howson has informed the German manager that he needs a new goalkeeper and striker before next month, Rohl has stood up for Dawson.
Sheffield Wednesday needs a striker and a goalie, according to Dom Howson.
Howson has now pushed Rohl and Sheffield Wednesday to add a new striker and goalkeeper to the team for next month, in light of Dawson’s difficulties against Cardiff.
Despite the emergence of Bailey Cadamarteri, Wednesday still lack depth in the attacking third and so an experienced striker coming in would give Cadamarteri some cover for the second half of the campaign.
After the game yesterday, Howson posted on X:
A crucial month for the Owls
January is very much panning out to be a crucial transfer window for the Owls; if not their most crucial in several years.
There’s a lot on the line right now and after yesterday’s performance, there seems to be some definite room for improvement in the XI.
Like Howson says, a new goalkeeper looks like an emerging priority; Dawson arguably cost Sheffield Wednesday at least two points yesterday, which in the position that the Owls are in, is unaffordable.
James Beadle has already been linked with a move to Wednesday but if their form is inconsistent over the next few weeks, Brighton may not favour sending Beadle to Hillsborough.
And a new striker to compliment Cadamarteri and take some pressure off his shoulders seems just as vital.
Birmingham City striker Scott Hogan has also been linked with a move to Sheffield Wednesday, who look set for some smarter recruitment next month with Rohl and Head of Recruitment Kevin Beadell overseeing matters.
