We also ask whether criticism of the manager has been misunderstood. After all, wanting better football doesn't necessarily mean wanting a new manager.

Away from the pitch, we discuss the news that Sheffield...

Two games for the guys to review this week. Up first was the Ham Sammich Cup and the visit of Sunderland U21s. And then after a few weeks off and on the training pitch it was return to League One action and a trip to 'Uddrsfield.

Can the owls remain unbeaten on the round or will the Terriers be the toughest test yet.

These and lots more including Ash's turn at his hot topic.
