Didn't cover himself in glory for Oldham's opener,  headed in by Kavanagh from close-range. Denied the same man with a better save later in the half. Could hear his communication from the back throughout the contest. Made a smart one-on-one block from Nevitt.placeholder image

'Frustrated' - Sheffield Wednesday player ratings from heavy pre-season defeat to Oldham Athletic

The Owls played two friendlies on Saturday

Sheffield Wednesday fell to a 4-0 pre-season friendly defeat at League Two Oldham Athletic on Saturday afternoon.

Calum Kavanagh headed in an early opener from close-range before Keenan Appiah-Forson doubled the lead with a curling strike from the edge of the box. The Latics grabbed a third when a trialist curled in from distance.

Jordi Liongola twice came close to pulling a goal back for Wednesday in the second-half but they struggled to create overall and they conceded a fourth with the last kick of the game when Noah Chilvers struck a free-kick into the top corner.

This was The Owls’ second game of the day after a goalless draw at Accrington Stanley at lunchtime...
