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:
9. Jaden Brown - 7
There were plenty of eyes on the wingback given his surprise place in the side, but he silenced a few critics within 10 minutes as he put it on a plate for Palmer to open the scoring. Seemed to tire, which was understandable, and was replaced by Adeniran. | Steve Ellis / UGC
10. Josh Windass - 8
Didn’t score, even though he probably should have done, but that shouldn’t detract from what was an excellent performance. Really ran the channels and spaces well, and never gave up on anything. | Steve Ellis / UGC Photo: UGC/SWFC
11. Michael Smith - 7
A tough day at the office for Smith up top, and he didn’t have many chances, but he worked tirelessly for the team and went close with a long-range effort before coming off. | Steve Ellis / UGC Photo: UGC / Steve Ellis
12. Dennis Adeniran - 7
Came on for Brown, and was really good at right wingback once again. Gave Wednesday something a bit different, and his energy really helped them out. | UGC / Steve Ellis
