Sheffield Wednesday won-out a helter-skelter away clash at Peterborough United to take their tally of League One wins this season to four out of five and continue their momentum through a testing week.
The closure of the transfer window was only one thing to contend with as trips to Wycombe and Peterborough promised to test the breadth of their squad. An own goal in the first half was pegged back before Yan Valery’s finish from Kieran Morrison’s corner earned a battling 2-1 win.
The early kick-off means Wednesday finished the match top of the division. It’s been an exciting start. Here are our ratings from London Road.
5. Reece James - 7
Had an issue or two against Shofowoke early doors as things opened up between them. Didn't get the help he might have wanted but battled strongly and kept at it. | STEVE ELLIS 62. THE WILLOWS.OXSPRING.SHEFFIELD.SOUTH YORKS.S36 8ZZ. [email protected]. 07539-741975
6. Jaden Heskey - 6
Seemed to settle into it after a fairly manic start and had bright little moments in possession but ultimately fell away. Not quite the polished effort seen in midweek - off before the hour as part of a triple sub. | Steve Ellis
7. Barry Bannan - 7
The victim of some pretty grim shouts from the home end, Bannan spread things around nicely and played with some gristle. Spreading the ball was key and he enjoyed doing so. | Getty Images
8. Jamal Lowe - 6
Couple of lovely early touches, inverting in from the right of the front three. Got Wednesday's first shot away and was part of the swarm that got some early joy. Off before the hour as they switched things up. | Steve Ellis
