The Owls were outdone by a hard-working Sky Blues side and so have made a poor start to their six-week run of schedule madness when it comes to survival hopes.
Take a look at our ratings from a poor outing for the Owls.
5. Julian Borner - 5
Did OK in the main, but looked off the pace from time to time. Caught sleeping a touch in his channel for the goal. Photo: Dan Mullan
6. Liam Palmer - 6
Solid enough on the Owls' right. Defended diligently but tired as the game went on, understandably. Came off late. Photo: George Wood
7. Joey Pelupessy - 4
A night to forget for the Dutchman, who was yellow carded early doors and failed to recover. Had his evening summed-up when a ball was smashed into his face. A shame after a string of very solid performances. Off for Dele-Bashiru on the hour. Photo: George Wood
8. Sam Hutchinson - 5
Raised some eyebrows when selected and looked off the pace, which you can understand. May have benefited from another few days on the training field. Off with 10 to go as Thompson shuffled his pack. Photo: Steve Ellis
