Here’s how we rated the Owls players...
9. Josh Windass - 6
The Wigan loanee marked his debut with a goal, drilling a fierce shot past Brad Collins after the ball broke kindly to him in the penalty area. Still looks a player getting used to his new surroundings and team-mates. Photo: George Wood
10. Fernando Forestieri - 5
Forestieri, making his first start since the end of November, was quiet on the left wing. His only sight at goal came early in the second half when Simoes blocked his low strike after Barnsley failed to clear Bannan's corner. Photo: Steve Ellis
11. Connor Wickham - 5
Understandably looked rusty and short on match sharpness on only his third start of the season. Almost created an opportunity for Forestieri after a rampaging run down the right in the first period. Photo: SWFC
12. Substitutes: Kieran Lee - 5 (66)
A welcome return to action for the experienced midfielder after a frustrating spell on the sidelines. Was busy in the centre and gave the team some much-needed energy. Photo: Steve Ellis
