Monk waiting to learn fate

- By Steve Judge

GARRY MONK praised his players after the win that makes Sheffield Wednesday mathematic­ally safe – for now.

First-half goals from Dominic Iorfa and Josh Windass, plus a Jacob Murphy wonder strike, ended a run of three defeats.

But the Owls could still end up in the bottom three if they are deducted points on an EFL charge of financial misconduct.

Boss Monk said: “We needed to respond and we did. It was a complete performanc­e from start to finish.

“I am proud of the players.

“As I have said before, I don’t want to talk about things off the pitch. I am just looking to deal with the football side.”

QPR failed to register a shot on target until the 76th minute and boss Mark Warburton said: “To a man we were way below our levels.

“We were off the pace and hopeless in our passing.”
