Wednesday had started the fixture brightly, but had the stuffing knocked out of them when the visitors took the lead from a corner after just over half an hour.
It was a cold afternoon to forget as the Owls continued to fire blanks in front of goal. They had as many chances as the Lions, but took none of them - it was a game that was, in part, indicative of the way that the club's season has gone so far.
Here are our ratings after a torrid afternoon that nobody of a Wednesday persuasion will be looking back on with any pleasure:
5. Di’Shon Bernard - 5
Probably the best performing Wednesday defender on the day, but still part of a backline that conceded four. Played his part pretty well, though, and made some important challenges - one in the first half that stopped an almost certain goal. | Ellis / UGC
6. Marvin Johnson - 4
Not a happy return to the starting XI for the wide man, who started quite brightly but - like so many others - faded after the first goal went in. | UGC / Steve Ellis
7. George Byers - 5
Was sacrificed at half time as Röhl rung the changes, but it wasn't a particularly bad showing from him in the midfield. Won some important tackles and was maybe unlucky to be replaced. | Getty / UGC
8. Barry Bannan - 5
A boost to have him back in the side and Bannan was bright enough in Wednesday's promising start. They lost control after the first goal, though, and he wasn't able to make things tick as much from then on. | UGC / Steve Ellis
