Sheffield Wednesday got off to the perfect start under Garry Monk this weekend, as they ran out 2-0 winners at Huddersfield Town.

Despite the focus being firmly on the new home manager, as Danny Cowley took charge of his first Terriers game, it was indeed the Owls and Monk who had the biggest say, with goals from Steven Fletcher and Sam Winnall being enough for all three points.

Monk went with a line-up what has been tried and tested this season under previous manager Lee Bullen, and that faith in the players who had done so well for the team already proved an inspired move by the new Owls boss.

There is little doubting that the Wednesday squad contains talented players at Championship level. Barry Bannan is one of the best passing midfielders in the division, while Steven Fletcher's experience up top coupled with the safe pair of hands in Kieren Westwood in goal means Wednesday have a solid spine to the team.

With those three in form and playing regularly, and Monk employing his usual methods of not taking a hammer to the team ethos and style of play, there is every chance that Wednesday could well be one of the top six contenders come the end of the season.

Squad depth is also going to be key for Monk, and with the likes of Fernando Forestieri suspended and Tom Lees injured, it does indeed show that the Owls have some strength in the squad beyond the first XI.

Their performance in Huddersfield today showed just a small example of what we might expect to see from a Garry Monk team. Subtle tweaks such as the being compact and solid in defence while not being wasteful in possession both meant the Terriers were stifled throughout.

Wednesday might have missed out in the last few seasons, much to the disappointment of their fans. However, with Monk at the helm and a solid foundation to build on given today's result, Wednesday fans can start to potentially dream of a run at promotion.
