Sheffield Wednesday finally broke their barren run last weekend when they defeated an injury-stricken Charlton Athletic at The Valley.
The Owls had gone five games without a victory before their win in south-east London with November proving to be a very tough month both on and off the pitch.
One victory, two home draws and two away defeats had been masked by the club being charged by the English Football League for financial misconduct pertaining to the sale of Hillsborough stadium by chairman Dejphon Chansiri.

Amongst all the adversity and the poor run of form, there was still time to crown a Player of the Month with Wednesday fans unanimously voting for defender Dominic Iorfa, who has gone from being a backup right-back to a solid first-choice at centre-half.
In general, much of the Owls faithful have lauded the 24-year-old with him appearing to be very deserving of such recognition…
‘Absolute rock’ and ‘one of the best defenders in the Championship’ are two glowing reviews of the month Iorfa has had, even despite Wednesday failing to record more than a single victory.
The 6 foot 4 defender has recorded 16 clearances, 12 tackles and won 16 aerial duels across the five matches played in the month, per WhoScored.
However, such impressive performances has brought about a couple of bold claims as one fan believes he could play for England, whereas another is more worried about the potential of losing him to the Premier League.
There was even praise for Steve Bruce, who departed the club in pre-season on quite a sour note, but it was he indeed who signed the colossus back in January.
Meanwhile, others felt that he had proven them wrong, earning a comparison to Chris Bart-Williams who was once Wednesday’s record sale back in 1995 when he swapped south Yorkshire for Nottingham.
‘Bargain’ was one word used to describe him with another praising his physical qualities.
Matches come thick and fast over the festive period with the Owls scheduled to play six times before the New Year, they’ll be hoping to build on last weekend’s victory with the same against Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
