Lee Gregory’s deflected early goal set Wednesday off and running amid a flurry of decent chances, but the Owls just slowed a touch while losing players to injury and/or fitness management.
The match was Wednesday’s 23rd League One match unbeaten on the bounce - a truly remarkable effort - and sets them up for a trip to Barnsley on Tuesday for what will likely be another tricky battle.
Here are our player ratings from a nip-and-tuck night under the lights at S6.
5. Jack Hunt - 6
Grew into it as the game went on. Fairly anonymous in the first half but came alive after the break particularly around the hour mark where he took up some excellent positions and pressed the issue in possession. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
6. Will Vaulks - 6
Made more tackles than anyone in an ever-energetic first half hour but like many around him seemed to just squeeze off the pace a touch. A quieter outing in what is a stunning run of form. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
7. Fisayo Dele-Bashiru - 6
Took a while to come alive in the game but a burst run-and-shot from midfield on 28 minutes gave a glimpse of what he offers. Could he have stepped further into Adeboyejo’s airspace when Bolton scored? Found some nice positions in the second half. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
8. Barry Bannan - 7
Got things up and popping early doors with a shot from range - helped set the tempo, which he barely let up on all evening. That devilish pirouette of his did some damage but with his name above the door, Wednesday’s midfield was just about unable to battle back control. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
