Sure, Sheffield Wednesday should have created more and their teeth aren’t quite showing often enough, but against a Millwall side at their strongest on the road, it was encouraging to see the Owls have much of the better of the game.
Incredibly, they’re two unbeaten at Hillsborough for only the second time in 2020.
Here are Alex Miller’s player ratings from the final game heading into another international break.

5. Liam Palmer - 6
Operating on the right, Palmer was defensively sound but looked a little low on confidence on the ball. Big moments came and went and he failed to cross the ball first time on enough occasions. Photo: Steve Ellis
6. Joey Pelupessy - 7
Broke up play a number of times and was a thorn in Millwall's side until he was brought off for Brown midway through the second half. Took some shots on, too. Looks confident. Photo: Steve Ellis
7. Barry Bannan - 6
At times excellent, at times sloppy. Improved greatly in the second half but didn't have the impact he would have liked. Photo: Steve Ellis
8. Adam Reach - 7
Pushed centrally again, Reach offered legs around Kachunga and Reach that were hugely important as Wednesday won the battle in the middle. Good to see him taking on shots, too. Looks confident. Photo: Steve Ellis
