‘Revelation’, ‘Been a rock’ – some fans vote Sheff Wed defender as Player of the Month

|

Some fans have voted Dominic Iorfa as Sheffield Wednesday’s Player of the Month after his impressive form in November. The 24-year-old has been a regular at centre-back this season and has shone over the last two months.

Iorfa was outstanding alongside Tom Lees in Sheffield Wednesday’s 3-1 win over Charlton Athletic on Saturday too. He’s made 15 appearances in 2019/20, scoring and creating three goals, while helping to keep four clean sheets.

Should Dominic Iorfa be named Sheffield Wednesday's Player of the Month for November?

Yes

No

The former England u21 international has racked up 1306 minutes of Championship football, won 48 aerial duels (52%), averaged 30.6 passes-per-game with 73.4% accuracy, made 10 successful dribbles (67%), blocked 21 shots/crosses/passes, made 56 clearances, averaged a tackle (30) or interception (13) every 30 minutes and made six chances.

Iorfa joined the Owls from Wolverhampton Wanderers in January and has gone on to make 25 appearances in all competitions. He’s operated at right-back for Wednesday but looks perfectly suited to a central role that allows him to see more of the ball.

Despite operating at centre-back, Iorfa is able to drive with the ball from deep to turn defence into attack. He’s been terrific under Garry Monk, and fans will hope that continues in December.
