A Liam Palmer goal was enough to secure all three points in the end, and give Wednesday some breathing room at the top of the League One table, but they had to fight hard for it and pushed their luck towards the end.
Job done though, and they set a new club record by going 20 games without defeat.
Here’s how we rated them on another good afternoon for the men in blue and white:
5. Liam Palmer - 8
Another really good performance from Wednesday’s Mr. Reliable. Calm on the ball, showed excellent positioning, and took his fourth goal of the season really well. | UGC / Steve Ellis Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
6. Will Vaulks - 7
Quietly very good in the centre of midfield once more. Did plenty of dirty work, and really helped set the tone. | UGC / Steve Ellis Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
7. George Byers - 8
Combative is probably an understatement. Battled from the first minute, showed his quality but also his work ethic throughout the game. A very good showing. | Steve Ellis / UGC Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
8. Barry Bannan - 8
Very nearly opened the scoring early doors with a lovely effort, but dictated the game fantastically well in his role behind the strikers. Another quality performance from the skipper. | UGC / Steve Ellis Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
