According to reports, hes had a torrid time since donning the blue and white stripes.
He`s not replicated the form he produced at Rotherham. Dom Howsom, Owls writer, makes this observation:

Lewis Wing #26 of Sheffield Wednesday looks down at the ground.

Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to add to their first team squad when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.

Yorkshire Live understands a minimum of one new centre-back and a left-back feature as part of Darren Moore's January wish list.

There is also a possibility the Owls could bolster their attacking options heading into the second half of the season. Free agent Nathaniel Mendez-Laing is currently training with the League One club as he bids to earn a permanent deal.

While the focus is on potential incomings, could there be any outgoings at Hillsborough?

Lewis Wing

Hear me out.

To say Wing has been a big disappointment since joining Wednesday would be a huge understatement. He has often flattered to deceive in the midfield engine room and failed to perform to the levels he produced while on loan at Rotherham United last term.

With Massimo Luongo and George Byers fit-again following long injury lay-offs, the Owls have an abundance of midfielders on their books. Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has also stepped up to the plate and was deservedly named Wednesday's player of the month for October.

The chances are Moore will ditch the three at the back system and revert to his favoured 4-2-3-1 formation when - or if - all their injury problems clear up.

When everybody is fit, would Wing get into the best XI? And perhaps more importantly, where would he play? Is there any point in keeping Wing if he is not going to be a regular?

Something else to bear in mind is that Chris Wilder has just taken over as Middlesbrough boss. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that he might want to take a look and see what Wing has got to offer and recall him in January.

Vs Plymouth Argyle, Wednesday seemed to be using Wing as a striker. No long range shots.
 
He burst onto the scene in his 1st season with us and not only scored some great goals, he also was a creative influence. Those levels of performance have dropped off. I still think he has something to bring, and if we are a goal down with 25 minutes to go, I would love to see him come off the bench for us. Is that enough though?

It does seem a little unfair on the lad - who`s gone from a consistently good performer at Rotherham to consistently under-performing at Wednesday. Could it be the system and style of Wednesday doesnt suit him? We`ve seen some of our other players move away and do exceedingly well, but were considered unworthy before - under a previous Manager. [ Djed Spence.]?
 
I think it's a bit harsh to say the lad is a poor footballer. He can clearly play the game but he does need to find his level and League 1 might be it. Good luck to the lad.
 
Capable of being a decent championship/L1 midfielder with his ability on the ball, but his physical attributes let him down - too slow, too weak and not naturally fit enough which leads to him losing his 1v1 battles and letting people run off him.

Would love to see him be a success for us or someone else though, a great story to get to where he has.
 
I’ve noticed that we have been attempting defence splitting passes under Wilder. If there’s a player on our books that has been know to succeed at that, it’s Wing. A clean slate for ALL players is my viewpoint 👍
