Ahead of Friday night’s S6 showdown with Birmingham in front of the live Sky TV cameras, skipper Barry Bannan has penned an honest, straight-talking and optimistic column for the matchday programme.
Wednesday need a response tomorrow night at Hillsborough to get the bid for survival back on track.
The skipper’s message is clear – don’t write us off.
Defeat against Huddersfield last weekend leaves a steeper mountain to climb but the captain is calling for unity and everyone to stick together with 16 games remaining.
He writes: “I know we have new players who have come in but the majority were here last season. I know that is in the past but our character was questioned last season and look what happened.
“We need to all join up and come together, people writing us off, negativity, all that kind of thing is normal where we are in the league but there is a long, long way to go.
“We need to stick together and when we do that, we can create an atmosphere and good feeling here.
“Friday is massive – all the games are huge now. We are the first ones to play this weekend, it’s live on Sky and I’m looking forward to it.
“There is no time for excuses, it’s about rolling your sleeves up and getting back out there.”
