Garry Monk made eight changes to the side that drew to Fulham at the weekend and in the early stages it showed before a more fluent Owls showing from the half-hour mark.

9. Adam Reach - 6
Hard-working as ever and produced one or two half-chances from the right. Yet to settle into the season. Photo: George Wood
10. Atdhe Nuhiu - 7
The stand-in skipper held the ball up nicely and showed some nice touches on the ball, particularly in the first half. Photo: Pete Norton
11. Sam Winnall - 5
Also worked hard but was largely isolated. Missed a golden chance with the score at 0-0. Photo: Pete Norton
12. Kadeem Harris - 6
On for Murphy on the hour and for once failed to make much of an impact. Photo: JPIMedia
