It wasn’t pretty, and the Owls pushed their luck on more than one occasion, but they won’t care at all after Tyreeq Bakinson’s first goal for the club saw them beat the Addicks and send them back down south with nothing.
Josh Windass was the standout performer on a very sunny afternoon at Hillsborough, and they now find themselves sitting pretty in second place on the League One table. They’ve also extended their unbeaten run at home to 12 games in all competitions.
Charlton will probably feel a bit aggrieved not to have even picked up a point in S6, but for Darren Moore the result is all that matters at this point in time – and seven points from nine is nothing to be sniffed at. Especially considering the opponents they’ve faced.
Here’s how we rated the players after their latest victory:
5. Liam Palmer - 7
Mr Dependable was what Darren Moore called Palmer in the week, and he was just that again today. Made one crucial block to prevent a certain goal in the first half, and was just solid all the way through. Switched from LCB to RWB and did well in both. Photo: Steve Ellis
6. Marvin Johnson - 5
He's been pretty excellent for Wednesday for months now, but Johnson struggled to get into this encounter. His crossing wasn't as accurate as we've come to expect, and he wasn't able to make as much of an impact as he'd have wanted. Photo: Malcolm Bryce
7. Fisayo Dele-Bashiru - 5
A tough afternoon for the midfield man, who couldn't really get going the way that he did in the opening two games. Drove at Charlton a few times, but couldn't seem to get anything to stick. Photo: Steve Ellis
8. Will Vaulks - 5
Hasn't really got into his stride at Wednesday yet, and while there were a couple of nice passes picked by him against Charlton, there were too many wayward ones as well. Photo: SWFC
