Plymouth Argyle were the latest team to taste defeat to an Owls side that now sit level with three other teams straddling the safety line. In a packed bottom half of the table, Wednesday's recent efforts mean, remarkably, they're now only six points from 13th place. It's a reality unimaginable just a few weeks back.
After a frustrtaing first half of much possession but little in the way of guilt-edged chances, goal machine Ike Ugbo turned provider to open things up, Djeidi Gassama the right man in the right place to tuck home his second in Wednesday colours.
They shored things up against some second half back-and-forth to take their fourth Championship win as many matches for the first time since 2017.
Here are our ratings.
5. Pol Valentin - 6
Absolutely tireless - once again a ball of energy. Could have had an assist but for the linesman's flag and all of a sudden looks a very solid player at this level. Dispossessed a few times - off late for Palmer. | Ellis / UGC
6. Will Vaulks - 7
Up and about right from the getgo; snarling and authoritative. Has developed a habit of finding good areas out wide to put dangerous crosses in. Won headers and tackles, cajoled. | UGC / Getty
7. Barry Bannan - 7
Picked out some passes only he could and generally kept things ticking, but took a knock late on in the first half and was replaced by Momo Diaby at the break. | UGC / Steve Ellis
8. Marvin Johnson - 7
Offered a constant outlet wide left, put in a couple of decent crosses and got to the by-line. Always there, nagging away in possession and steady going the other way. Could perhaps have forced the keeper into action with his 75th-minute chance. | UGC / Steve Ellis
