Neil Thompson’s Owls didn’t do it flashy. It wasn’t aesthetically appealing. But they ground out a vital Championship win against one of their fellow relegation candidates.
Callum Paterson grabbed the goal with a bundled header, the defence kept a clean sheet.
May you dreams be jolly and bright. Here are the ratings from a hard-fought three points.
5. Liam Palmer - 6
In a slightly foreign position, Palmer was largely inconsistent, mixing important blocks with moments of lapsed concentration. A poor first half clearance almost cost them dearly. Photo: Matthew Ashton - AMA
6. Kadeem Harris - 7
Hustled and harried, offered some effort going forward and stuck to his defensive duties admirably. Bumped up to a seven for a game-winning block late on. Photo: Nick Potts
7. Joey Pelupessy - 6
Did OK in the first half and made some important interventions in the second. Needs to impact the game more on the ball. Photo: Alex Livesey
8. Barry Bannan - 7
Not close to his brilliant best, but in this tired side he did well in moving the ball about. Once Wednesday grabbed a foothold, he dictated a lot of play. Photo: Steve Ellis
