Here’s how we rated the Owls players...
9. Marco Matias - 6
Partly at fault with Iorfa for not picking up Robinson in the first goal, otherwise added a bit of direct play with runs at players in the first 45. Not as effective as he has been in recent performances going forward. Photo: JP
10. Fernando Forestieri - 6
Didn’t see much of the ball but tried to show a bit of pace and skill when he did have it. Pitched in with his share of defensive work in the second half and bagged a headed goal for Wednesday’s second. Photo: Steve Ellis
11. Steven Fletcher - 6
Got nothing off the referee in the first half despite a fair bit of manhandling from the Preston defence. Showed glimpses of quality in what was a frustrating afternoon for the Scottish forward. Photo: Steve Ellis
12. Atdhe Nuhiu - 7
A 67th minute sub for Josh Onomah. Drove at the Preston defence with his first action of the match before putting the cross in for Forestieri’s goal. Then scored the equaliser with a low header - did what he does best and was a handful. Photo: Steve Ellis
