Michael Smith’s early opener looked to set Wednesday on their way back at S6 but a moment of lapse from David Stockdale allowed Lincoln to equalise - in what proved to be the match-turning moment.
The remainder of the first half was frazzled but Wednesday looked dangerous without landing killer blows in a one-way second half. They had chances to win it but couldn’t break through.
Here are our player ratings from yet another frustrating run-out for the Owls - with all that said, they have gone top of the table.
9. Marvin Johnson - 7
A solid outing. Put in a couple of handy crosses and was an outlet out there as usual. Drove with danger when he could but didn’t quite hit the dangerous areas with the regularity he might have preferred - became a danger as the game went on. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
10. Lee Gregory - 8
Busy. Produced a deft chest-and-feet to shoot just wide on 18 minutes. Just scraps and harries and does the dirty stuff with no little quality - those desperate, lost cause runs into the corner can lift a stadium. Photo: UGC/SWFC
11. Michael Smith - 7
Them pre-match rumours, eh. Had gone seven without a goal before today and squashed that run by heading home - possibly via Aden Flint - to get Wednesday rolling early doors. Seemed to thoroughly enjoy a right old tear-up with Adam Jackson and provided a focal point for the Owls to aim at, but without much in the way of quality from out wide he wasn’t able to make a prolonged attacking impact.

12. Mallik Wilks - 6
On wide right as Wednesday turned up the heat to find a winner. Looked lively and tried things - prompting Lincoln to shift their tact out wide. Try as he might, nothing quite went for him. Photo: UGC / Steve Ellis
