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:
9. Barry Bannan - 5
The Wednesday skipper showed a few of his usual bits of class, but in terms of game impact he wasn't at his usual high standards. Put in a real shift as always though, and was an Owls focal point. Photo: Malcolm Bryce
10. Josh Windass - 8
Wednesday biggest attacking outlet by a country mile. Not only did he get the assist to break the deadlock, but was also a constant threat throughout the game and always looked the most likely to make something happen. His best performance of the season so far. Photo: Steve Ellis
11. Callum Paterson - 4
A man never short of effort, and he bust a gut out there once again, but was just not very involved in the tie. Barely had a touch, and wasn't able to get into things alongside Windass. Photo: Steve Ellis
12. Lee Gregory - 7
Helped change the game as he came on for Paterson. His work on and off the ball is so intelligent, and he really seemed to help Wednesday get up the pitch. Photo: Steve Ellis
