The Owls had more shots, more momentum and more of the first 45 before Zan Vipotnik’s opener five minutes into the second dig earned the away side control. It’s a fate Wednesday may well see a fair bit of over the coming weeks, with opposition sides arriving sharper and better equipped to go up a gear in the second half - not least owing to a more impressive bench.
There were bright performances and reasons for positivity. Wednesday played with nice patterns and once again showed huge desire to get something out of the game. Ultimately, though not the fault of those in boots, those attributes don’t butter any parsnips.
Here are our ratings from a spirited defeat at home to Swansea City.
13. Sean Fusire - N/A
On with a tick over 10 minutes left. Did OK, pushing it about and stepping up. | UGC
14. Reece Johnson - N/A
On with 10 minutes remaining. A nice footballer to watch when he gets forward - not shy of taking things on. | UGC
