Sheffield Wednesday got pre-season off to a winning start as they picked up a comfortable 2-0 win over Alfreton Town on Saturday. Danny Rohl had been looking for an encouraging performance at the end of his first full week of pre-season and he got one as his side saw off the National League North outfit.
Josh Windass got the opening goal of the game, curling an effort into the top corner from range. It was an effort that left the goalkeeper no chance and capped a week in which he had committed his future for the club.
Mallik Wilks grabbed the second, shortly after his introduction at the break, nodding him an Olaf Kobacki cross. Here’s our player ratings.

Lively down the left and created opportunities. Could have released the ball a little earlier on occasion but a threat nonetheless. | UGC / Steve Ellis
10. Barry Bannan - 7
Enjoyed himself in the centre of the park, a classy showing and was arguably the best player on the pitch in the first half. | UGC / Steve Ellis
11. Josh Windass - 8
Took his goal really well as he found the back of the net from distance. Should have scored a little earlier but made no mistake in the 33rd minute. | UGC / Getty Images
