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.
9. Ian Poveda - 7
Twisted and turned to create a big chance for Ugbo early on. Had the ball in the net on 20 minutes but was ruled offside - perhaps cruelly. Beats defenders and plays with a joie de vivre. A pleasure to watch - he'll be missed on Friday. | UGC / Steve Ellis
10. Iké Ugbo - 7
Simultaneously dropped in and lead a high line early doors, drove things forward in moments. Calm as you like in setting up Gassama. Off for a rest on 67 minutes. | UGC / Steve Ellis
11. Djeidi Gassama - 8
Involved right from the off and showed some inventive touches. He's a little box of tricks - his hook and cross-field ball to set up Poveda's disallowed goal was pure filth. Right place, right time for his second goal of the campaign. Took it nicely. | UGC / Steve Ellis
12. Momo Diaby - 6
On in place of his captain at the break. Struggled to get a grip on Gyabi once or twice and got run past on occasion. | UGC / Steve Ellis
