Sheffield Wednesday didn’t set the place alight in Tuesday’s 0-0 draw with Huddersfield Town, but Moses Odubajo was one of a handful of players that came away with praise from supporters for his performance at Hillsborough. The 26-year-old started as a makeshift wing-back on the right and provided an attacking threat while also being busy defensively.
Much better Moses, you are clearly not a defender and far better in an attacking position. Has Monk finally realised because it only took the fans one game to know this.

Class again! Ignore the haters the last two games you’ve been quality!
— Alex Croft (@acroftie) July 15, 2020
Played well I thought. Quality run and shot then the chase the ball down after that, fantastic effort!

Hope this is a turning point for Odubajo, think him and Joey put a decent shift in #swfc

Had the best chances, Odubajo, Harris best of our bunch. 2 poor teams #swfc

Hopefully don't regret this tweet at full time but odubajo is looking decent especially going forward. #swfc

Odubajo stand out so far, from a #swfc team that hasn’t seen much of the ball. Harris unlucky not to score, wish he’d used his right foot more this season. Punting it long up top to 2 wide men this game won’t work

Against Huddersfield, Odubajo played for 90 minutes, had 43 touches, completed 52.4% of his 21 passes, created one chance, had one shot which hit the target, made one clearance, whipped in three crosses, made two tackles, played five long balls, won one free-kick, made three dribbles and made one interception.
The 26-year-old has made 23 appearances in all competitions this season and has been a regular under Garry Monk since football returned in England. Odubajo featured only twice in the Championship between mid-December and mid-March, but he has played in six of Wednesday’s last seven games.
Odubajo had an uncertain future earlier in the season after being told he could leave in January, but the £720k-rated man is now an important part in the starting eleven and repaying his manager’s faith too. Wednesday next face Fulham on Saturday.
