The Owls seemed to be carrying out their game plan perfectly, defending with confidence and creating chances on the break.
But defensive lapses in the dying minutes cost them three priceless Championship points.
9. Adam Reach - 8
A very good showing from Reach, who looks something close to his brilliant best. His assist for Windass' goal was a thing of beauty. Photo: Steve Ellis
10. Kadeem Harris - 7
Had two very good penalty shouts, the first of which looked stonewall. Busy and bustling, particularly in the first half. Photo: Nick Potts
11. Josh Windass - 7
Worked his proverbials off again and battled against a hard-working Norwich defence. Took his header excellently. Off for Palmer on 66 minutes. Photo: Jan Kruger
12. Joey Pelupessy - 5
Was brought on in place of Iorfa on 53 minutes to shore things up in the last half hour and failed to do so. Missed a glorious chance to seal Wednesday's win. Photo: Alex Livesey
