The Owls were second best and unable to reach the heights of recent weeks, but did enjoy one moment of quality through Marvin Johnson for the equalising goal in the first half after they fell behind inside the opening five minutes thanks to the first of two efforts from John Marquis.
Johnson beat several Lincoln players after picking up the ball inside his own half before supplying a perfectly weighted cross for Saido Berahino to convert from close range.
Still, that was the only time the Owls truly threatened Lincoln’s goal all afternoon.
Brace yourself for our player ratings after a bad day at the office.

Like his colleagues, will be disappointed to have shipped three goals given the team's defensive stubbornness since his arrival. Photo: SWFC
7. Marvin Johnson - 6
Struggled defensively at times but produced a wonder assist for the equaliser. You will struggle to see a better one all season. Highlight of the afternoon for Wednesday. Photo: Steve Ellis

Showed a few flashes of quality in the first half but another who failed to put his stamp on the match. Photo: Steve Ellis
