"Absolute shambles": Sheffield Wednesday fans react angrily to transfer-less deadline day
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Owls, who are second-bottom of the Championship but have picked up a head of steam in their recent form, hoped to add a striker and a left-back to their relegation-threatened squad but drew blanks at every turn.
Wednesdayites have reacted with concern to what can be considered a blow to their survival hopes, especially given the activity of their rivals.
Below is a snapshot of some of the reaction..

Hide Ad@Dannyswfc_ – who’d have thought losing at wembley could ruin a club this badly #swfc
@waynooooooo – I’m not quite sure who #swfc fans expect us to sign. We’re in the middle of a pandemic. Under FFP and nobody has signed anyone that’s any good. 4th from bottom this season is our aim.
@Owlstalk – Remember also that our existing players coming to the end of their contracts were watching this transfer window to decide whether or not to stay at the club and sign a new deal or not
@FPLInitiator – No players being brought in sums us up and the chairman’s incompetence. We needed a left back and a forward and didn’t get either - worried now that we will look back at the end of the season and realise this was one of the key factors to our relegation.

Hide Ad@WednesdayRetro – All The Best to Neil Thompson we all need to support the bloke..If he gets a 4th bottom finish be a reight achievement. Roll on the 1-0 wins
@LiamK2292 – Could’ve predicted this morning we wouldn’t bring anyone in. 21 games to save our season and we’re not prepared for it. A miracle is needed
@OrthoMafia – No permanent manager, no signings, 4 points from safety. What an absolute shambles this is turning out to be
@GrantR_1867 – With 21 games remaining to save our championship status. No manager. 1 striker. 22nd in the league.

Hide Ad@nigel_short – 3 points tomorrow night at Bournemouth and today's transfer window will be forgotten
@1867News – Don't anyone try to pretend that the club has decided we have a good enough squad to stay up.
@BradDelamore97 – I honestly don’t see how we can stay up.... we needed a striker. LB maybe not an issue but a striker was a must. Hopefully there is a plan for some free players
