The Owls were unfortunate to come out on the wrong side of the result a they sought their first Championship win on the road, with an early sending off for Barry Bannan and a deflection-aided winner for the hosts proving to be the difference on the day.
Danny Röhl’s side huffed and puffed and almost managed to get something out of the game, however it wasn’t to be as they remained rooted to the bottom of the league table.
Here’s how we rated the team after another difficult result for Wednesday:
5. Di’Shon Bernard - 6
Looked as composed as he has done in his other Owls games so far, but wasn’t able to get forward quite as much as we’ve seen before due to the red card. | Ellis / UGC
6. Reece James - 6
Made some good interventions and got up and down the left side well. Put a couple of dangerous crosses into the box and on another day may have had an assist to his name. | Ellis / UGC
7. George Byers - 7
Seems to be getting back to his best in the defensive midfield role that Röhl is asking of him. He has all the attributes required, and his silky touches under pressure didn’t go unnoticed. Took the armband after Bannan’s dismissal. | Getty / UGC
8. Barry Bannan - 5
Was just getting into his groove a bit with some nice touches when he was sold short in a dangerous area. | UGC / Steve Ellis
