George Byers, a key player for Sheffield Wednesday, recently shared a one-word message with Ashley Fletcher, accompanied by a photo of the two during a training session. Byers, who joined the Owls from Swansea City in August 2021, played a crucial role in their League One campaign, securing a new contract upon promotion. Under Danny Rohl’s management, Byers has continued to be an integral part of the team, making significant contributions in interceptions and blocked passes.
In contrast, Ashley Fletcher, the striker on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, has struggled to find form, failing to score a goal in 18 Championship appearances. Despite having only three starts this season and limited playing time under Rohl, Byers expressed appreciation for Fletcher’s camaraderie, posting a training photo with the caption ‘Mukka’ and two peace hand signs on Instagram.
While Byers’ post reflects a positive team spirit, it does not negate Fletcher’s underwhelming performances. With the January transfer window approaching, there is speculation about Fletcher’s future. The 28-year-old’s struggles may lead to his departure from Sheffield Wednesday, potentially making room for new signings and players like Momo Diaby.
Sheffield Wednesday, under Rohl’s management, has seen improvements in certain players, but Fletcher appears to be below the required standard for a successful relegation battle. As the club may need to offload players to bring in reinforcements, Fletcher could be one of the candidates to leave in January. The article suggests that Fletcher himself should consider whether staying in Yorkshire is the right move for his career.
