Will look back on the game’s first flashpoint with frustration after his pass led to the move that saw Bannan sent off - but turned up in a big way a few minutes later to make a brilliant save off the line from the resultant freekick. His kicking wasn’t great, but made some good saves.placeholder image

Sheffield Wednesday were beaten 1-0 by Bristol City on Saturday in a narrow defeat at Ashton Gate.

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:

Another half time substitution as he came on for the second half, but didn’t manage to have too much joy down the right side. Didn’t put much of a foot wrong, but couldn’t help force an equaliser either.

13. Pol Valentin - 5
