Wednesday were denied the 82nd-minute penalty by referee Andy Davies, who adjudged a foul by Lichaj on winger Jacob Murphy had been outside the box.

“Eric said he thought it was a penalty, it was inside the box.

“You know what? You get that bit of luck sometimes. When you put everything into it, you deserve that.

“I don’t think we’ve had that slice of luck that we’ve needed. You get some, you don’t get some.”

Wednesday lost to a Tom Eaves header in what was Monk’s first league defeat in a Wednesday dugout.
