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:
13. Jeff Hendrick - 4
Came on to replace Byers, but wasn't really able to effect the game in the way that Röhl will have wanted. | Steve Ellis / UGC
14. Bailey Cadamarteri - 6
A real bright point on a dull afternoon for Wednesday. Came on and caused problems - nearly created and scored a goal, and it could've been different if not for some good defending and goalkeeping. | Steve Ellis / UGC
15. John Buckley - N/A
A late substitution with the result already wrapped up pretty much. Almost scored from a header. | Steve Ellis / UGC
16. Reece James - N/A
Another late substitution, coming on to replace Johnson for the latter stages. | Ellis / UGC
