The Owls came undone in the 37th minute when Keiren Westwood flapped at a Connor Mahoney corner and allowed Matt Smith to head home.

The defeat ended Wednesday’s perfect start to the season, despite the home side playing 47 minutes of the match with 10 men.

Lee Bullen said that he couldn’t ask much more of the players, adding that the defeat feels like a ‘sucker punch’.

Wednesday return to Hillsborough tomorrow night when they host a Luton Town side yet to register a win in the Championship so far.

Scotland international Barry Bannan believes that the match could be the perfect opportunity for the squad to bounce back and put the Millwall defeat behind them.
