Wobbles in recent outings, injuries to key players, form struggles - the Owls have made it tough on themselves as they look to kill a run of four games without victory.
But the fact is they sit in an enviable position and promotion is still in their own hands.
Lincoln City are a tough nut to crack and Wednesday may not have it all their own way this afternoon - the Imps have drawn 18 times this season and have recorded away day vitories at Barnsley and Ipswich Town.
A win would calm the nerves and set the Owls back on their way.
Here’s the team our man Alex Miller would be tempted to plump for - fitness permitting.
9. LWB - Marvin Johnson
Wednesday’s most underrated player? Assist king and a bundle of energy who just runs and runs and runs. Has long shaken off question marks as to his form early in the campaign and has history against Lincoln in recent seasons. Photo: Gareth Copley
10. CF - Lee Gregory
Back in among the goals and proving a point, Gregory is one of the few players coming on very strong in these last weeks of the season as things stand. His movement and goal-getting ability is important and he seems a shoo-in for a starting place. Photo: Tim Goode
11. CF - Michael Smith
Not always 100% involved in the game, but always capable of popping up with the goods as we saw with his assist for Gregory on Wednesday evening. The pair have struck up a steady partnership. Photo: Steve Ellis Steve Ellis
