The first half was a dogfight. Wednesday seemed to get drawn into a bar brawl and were unable to impose their impressive best as the visitors traded blows at S6.
But even posed with that conundrum, the Owls kept them at arm’s length. The second half was a controlled demolition as confident as you’ll see and reduced Peterborough to mannequins. In the big moments, Wednesday were yet again just better.
Here are our player ratings as the blue and white wizards kept League One under their spell.
9. Will Vaulks - 8
Made some vital interventions in both boxes and just runs and runs and runs. Seems to be a player that enjoys the battle and the first half in particular suited him - if maybe not many of his teammates. Scrapped and battled and loved every second. An excellent player. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
10. Jaden Brown - 6
Stuck at his defensive task well and stopped a couple of dangerous Peterborough attacks but equally he was turned too many times and was all too loose on the ball in trying to start a couple of attacks. Shook off a late first half knock to put in the cross that broke the deadlock. Followed it up with a vital tackle on Poku in on goal. Poor first half - really very decent in the second before he was replaced by Hunt with 15 left. Photo: UGC/jadenbrown6
11. Josh Windass - 7
Classy turn early doors opened up a fine chance and asked questions with his set piece delivery. Was so unlucky to see his excellent strike rocket back from the bar after a clever corner. Got in behind to good effect on occasion but was snuffed out - chance on 50 minutes was miscontrolled but he was a pain in the proverbials for Posh in big moments. Photo: UGC/SWFC
12. Michael Smith - 6
Caused issues with his physicality from the off but couldn't get into the first half as he'd like - started the second brightly joining up some decent attacks. Off at 67 minutes for Gregory after a really solid shift. The fact is that even when he doesn't tear things up, games go differently without his focal point. Photo: UGC
