The Owls put on a committed display on a pitch showing wear and tear, earning their way back into the match through Josh Windass' fourth goal of the season in the 68th minute. The defeat was Wednesday's second in succession against promotion-challenging sides but registered no embarrassment in a 2-1 defeat.
Danny Rohl used every inch of his options from the bench, making a quadruple substitution on the hour, and his side perhaps had the better of the second half. But Ben Sheaf's opener was perhaps a microcosm of the quality the Owls are up against this season, his slick twist and finish leaving debutant goalkeeper James Beadle with no answer.
The result leaves Wednesday five points short of the survival line and a place further back in the pack - in 23rd place. Here are our ratings from a frustrating afternoon at S6.
13. Akin Famewo - 6
On in place of Ihiekwe at the heart of defence on the hour. Calm on the ball in the main - though one errant pass opened things up for a Coventry attack. | UGC / Steve Ellis
14. Bailey Cadamarteri - 6
Off the bench for Fletcher with half an hour to go. Unlucky to head one wide just after the goal. Worked hard. | Steve Ellis / UGC
15. Iké Ugbo - 7
On for his Wednesday bow on the hour. Produced a couple of lovely touches and played a part in the goal, fighting to get a vital touch. Showed plenty of desire in both halves of the pitch. | UGC / SWFC
