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.
9. Kadeem Harris 8
Wednesday’s biggest threat on the day. Was very busy on the left, ran at Cash a lot and caused a few problems for Forest. Photo: Steve Ellis
10. Connor Wickham 7
Last-gasp hero! Put himself about nicely, some decent link-up play and after hitting the post with a header, he finally got his first goal in his current SWFC stint. Photo: Martin Rickett
11. Jordan Rhodes 6
Some good movement, and did get on the end of a few of them. But was quiet in the second half especially and was taken off. Photo: Steve Ellis
12. Moses Odubajo 6
Was pretty involved when coming on, but wasn’t able to make too much of an impact. Goal conceded shortly after he was brought on. Photo: Steve Ellis
