But how did Wednesday’s players fare after more than three months on the sidelines? Here is how Joe Crann rated the Owls’ individual performances on their return to action.

Taken off in the second half, made a couple of key passes and did look like a threat. Seemed to tire before coming off though. Photo: Martin Rickett
6. Kieran Lee 7
Was busy in the middle, made some key passes and tried to ghost into the box a couple of times but to no avail. Photo: Martin Rickett
7. Barry Bannan 7
Ran things in the middle, but wasn’t at his best in terms of delivery and found the goalkeeper too many times when putting in his set pieces. Photo: Steve Ellis
8. Massimo Luongo 7
Tried to do his thing in the middle. Did some good bits of dirty work and had a couple of efforts. Made a couple of key passes too, but wasn’t able to help get a goal. Photo: Steve Ellis.
