Jacob Murphy put Wednesday in front just before the hour mark but the winger went off injured just minutes later. The visitors’ three goals all came from substitutes in the last 15 minutes with Scott Sinclair, Jayden Stockley and Brad Potts finding the net. The loss leaves the Owls just seven points above the Championship relegation zone. Here’s what Wednesdayites said after the full-time whistle…

@MrPaulPashley: “Before the interview starts. No Garry, there are NO positives. 13 from 57!!!! Embarrassing this.”

@ndunne76: “Goal disallowed from borner killed it as they scored straight away. The depth in squads showed at the end with the subs that Preston made. A rebuild is required.”

@JoshAshton91: “Don’t care anymore lost complete interest.”

@danielbarrass2: “how long is he allowed to carry on? The football has been diabolical since Christmas.”

@AndyHeath1867: “We’re at the hands of EFL now. I think we can get some points in the next couple of games but not going to get the 12 point cushion we may need.”
