The Owls never looked like they were at the races, and were 2-0 down early in the first half after a sloppy opener from Mark Shelton and then a calamitous Jaden Brown own goal.
Darren Moore rang the changes at the break, but it turned out to be too little too late. Will Goodwin made it three, and Wednesday were deservedly booted out of the tournament by the Monkey Hangers.
Tried to make a few things happen, but didn't have much joy down the left-hand side and wasn't able to cause too many problems for Hartlepool. He was taken off at half time. Photo: Steve Ellis
The midfielder really struggled at Hillsborough on Wednesday... Played too many loose passes and couldn't get into the game before being taken off at the break. Photo: Steve Ellis
Wing really struggled to get into the game, and didn't manage to stake his claim for a regular place. Improved in the second half, but still not the levels he's capable of. Photo: Steve Ellis
Struggled in the first half - as did everybody - but looked brighter in the second 45... Far from his best performance, but kept plugging away. Photo: Steve Ellis
