Callum Paterson gave the Owls an early lead in what could be his final outing at S6, but they didn’t lead for long as Harvey Blair got an equaliser about 15 minutes later. In many ways it felt like an end-of-season game, with both clubs knowing that they would be in the Championship next time around.
Danny Röhl made use of his full substitution allocation, with five coming on at different stages, and for several it may well have been the case of drinking it in at Hillsborough one final time as contracts come to an end. Seven minutes were added, but no break in the deadlock was found.
Here’s how we rated the Owls after their final home game of the season:
5. Callum Paterson - 7
Grabbed an opening goal that was trademark Pato. All substance, hold the fancy stuff. Ran his legs off and hit the byline to produce a coupe of crosses. Off late to take the applause of his public. Who knows what could happen in the coming weeks? If that's it, it's been a lot of fun. | UGC
6. Barry Bannan - 8
Radar was switched on early and it delivered some bright moments, threading balls through and providing a shot of nostalgia by teaming up with Windass to nice effect. Pull strings that weren't necessarily taken-up. | UGC
7. Stuart Armstrong - 7
Showed moments of real quality - though he'll be the first to admit the assist wasn't one! Teamed up nicely with the likes of Bannan and Windass and played with maturity. How nice it would have been to have him from the start of the season - and without niggly injuries latterly. Off for Ingelsson with 20 minutes or so left. | SWFC / UGC
8. Marvin Johnson - 6
Got forward to really good effect in the first half. Questions perhaps on how the Pompey equaliser fell - we'd have to see it again - but otherwise a solid output. | UGC
