Where conditions could have excused his dealing with Cheltenham’s second on Wednesday evening, he had no such buffer for Lincoln’s first, parrying only as far as Madriou for the simplest of chances with his only moment of note. Nutmegged a man to spark heart attacks. Mixed distribution.placeholder image

“A right tear-up” “At fault” - Player ratings as Sheffield Wednesday fail to pick the Lincoln City lock

Huffing, puffing Sheffield Wednesday were unable to unlock a determined Lincoln City defence in a one-way second half.

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.

On with less than 10 minutes to go as Wilks was pushed higher up the pitch.
