Cast your mind way back when it all started and you’ll remember a host of players left the club in the summer - in a host of different ways. But what happened to Owls heroes such as Josh Windass, Michael Smith and Callum Paterson? And what of the not-quite-heroes Ryo Hatsuse, Mallik Wilks and Stuart Armstrong?
For no reason better than it’s the international break, have yourself a whistle-stop run-down of how they’ve all got on.
5. Callum Paterson - MK Dons
A big fan favourite in his time at Wednesday, Paterson has been described as a 'League Two Cheat Code' since signing with MK Dons. He's a key man down there, steamrolling the fourth tier with 14 goals and eight assists including a rapid-fire hat-trick against Shrewsbury in January. The Dons look well-stocked to follow through on their promotion hopes - though Paterson is out with an ankle injury at current. | Getty Images
6. Mallik Wilks - Pendikspor
A shuffle into the Turkish second tier provided Wilks with an opportunity to start again after his difficult Wednesday stint and he appears to have done that, scoring 10 times and registering six assists in a promotion-challenging side. | /
7. Michael Smith - Preston North End
All-action and full of battle, Smith fell out of the starting line-up at Deepdale at the turn of the year, starting only once since their 3-0 win at Hillsborough on January 1. He was three goals for Paul Heckingbottom's side, the last of which came in November. | CameraSport - Richard Martin-Roberts
8. Ibrahim Cissoko - Bolton Wanderers
The loan at Wednesday was no success and he signed for Bolton Wanderers on a temporary basis - on the day of the Owls' Carabao Cup clash there earlier this season. After an initial run of games at the outset of the season, he has started only three matches since the start of November. | Getty Images
