Owls must pull together - Caretaker

The Owls' winless run extended to 10 games with Saturday's 2-0 home defeat to Swansea and they are currently three points adrift of safety, a far cry from their pre-season expectations of a top-10 finish.McAuley told Wednesday Player: "What we have to do is remove all excuses."Everyone has to be in it together because at the start of the season we all believed we would be challenging in and around the top 10."We need to re-align our end target now and every player in the squad needs to now be focussed on a different target, but if it's a new start in the second half of the season after Saturday, the last 23 games, we still need performances and we still need results which mirror a top-10 team."
