Monk admits door is open for anyone not prepared to fight for future at Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday boss Garry Monk admits the door is open for any player not prepared to fight for their future at this football club after the 2-1 defeat at Sky Bet Championship strugglers Wigan.The Owls had led 1-0 at the break through Jacob Murphys header just after the half-hour mark, after a brilliant run and cross from Morgan Fox.But they capitulated after the break, and allowed Paul Cooks outfit a morale-boosting victory only their second in 18 matches.Kieffer Moore equalised 11 minutes after the restart, after a lovely ball from Sam Morsy.And Jamal Lowe flicked home a wonderful header in the last minute to secure a priceless victory.All of which left Monk a frustrated figure in the press room.Its been pretty much the story of the last month for us, he said.In periods of the second half, we were just going through the motions, and its not right.Im not here to protect teamsand protect players you cant protectthat.The fans arent stupid, they understand what they see.We got turned over in that second half and its not good enough.Ive said many times I know what this group of players is capable of.But then tonight you see what were capable of on the flip side.Everyones had more than enough opportunity now, and decisions have to be made moving forward.These players are fighting for their futures at the football club all the time.But we let ourselves down badly in that second half and change needs to happen.The ones who are prepared to fight for their futures every day need to be here.The oneswho cant need to go, and thats the way it needs to be.For Wigan boss Paul Cook, who has seen his side throw away 27 points from winning positions this season, it was late drama of the welcome kind.And he reckoned Wigan were long overdue a break which gives them a real shot in the arm for their fight against the drop.Without a shadow of a doubt, he said. Its a weird feeling because, on the bench at 1-1, the general consensus was we all feltwe would win the game.And thats not a feeling weve had on the bench in quite a long time.In the second half we were creating chances, really good chances, and youre feeling you have to put one of them away.Our season was defined at half-time, 1-0 down.You can either lie down and wilt away, or you can stand up and fight.I think the dressing room is full of fight, I always have done.The reality is we lack certainqualitiesin the team, thats evident.Desire and work ethic, were not lacking at all.Some of the naivety in our play is alarming, but they kept going and I feel we thoroughly deserved ourvictory.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
