The Owls took the lead through Jarvis Thornton but were ultimately overpowered across the course of the game as old hand Jonathan Hogg made his second debut for the Terriers in a new role. The Owls defence was well tested by famed EFL marksman Alfie May, who scored, in what served as a worthwhile run-out for those involved in the international break.
The young Wednesday side will now look forward to a trip to Peterborough United, hoping to get back to winning ways in what has been an up-and-down season so far.
Our ratings from the driving rain at the John Smiths Stadium are as follows.
1. Jack Phillips - 6
Sprawled a touch at the ball that came in for May's equaliser but made a cracking fingertip save later to deny Bashir. Later save was solid but wasn't cleared and Town scored. Strong save down low on 73 minutes. Beaten four times. | @SWFC
2. Joe Emery - 6
Played quite high as a right wing-back and got some early joy. Used the ball nicely when he got it but more fun was had over the other side. Pushed inside to the right of the three on Mcghee's exit. | Steve Ellis
3. Gabriel Otegbayo - 6
Lined up on the right of a back three, with EFL marksman Alfie May running his way. Did OK when May was in close quarters. Shifted in as the central of the three with McGhee going off and looked positive. Photo: Steve Ellis
4. Cole McGhee - 7
Lined up against a man mountain in George Sebine with mixed results - won the points card but Sebine ultimately scored. Was a proper old school battle. Mixed results in possession - one ill-judged pass almost led to a goal. Looked strong before he was subbed on 65 minutes. | Steve Ellis
