“Booed throughout” “A wee terrier” Sheffield Wednesday ratings after ground-out Bristol Rovers win

A win. A ground-out win. A win away from home. A win with an injury. A win not without error. But an excellent win.

A relieved Sheffield Wednesday - spent from a huge defensive effort in the final 10 or 15 minutes - earned three points at the Memorial Stadium having had everything thrown at them by Bristol Rovers.

Goals from Barry Bannan and Akin Famewo - who went off injured early in the second half - were enough to seal the deal for the Owls’ first win on the road in five weeks.

Here are our ratings from a chilly Bristol.
