After finally waking up from a bore draw at Hillsborough it was time for me to write this blog. (I apologise with how late it is… I totally forgot I’d written it XD)

The Owls scored within the first 18 seconds in the previous game against Aston Villa when Reach’s wondergoal kickstarted the owls to victory. They started quickly here but not with the same result as Wallace switched the ball from right to left picking out Fox who headed the ball into the centre where Jordan Rhodes was but he could only head over.

6ft 6” Aden Flint then went close for the visitors when he tried the acrobatics and overhead-kicked Brownhills looping header into the box wide of Westwood’s post.

Ten minutes in Callum O’Dowda saw his shot flash across the face of goal after cutting inside from the right. This must have given Ross Wallace an idea as the Scotsman carbon copied O’Dowda and cut in on his left and rifled his shot just wide of Fielding’s left right hand post.

The Robins arguably had their best chance of the half when O’Dowda chipped a cross into the middle of the box where top scorer Bobby Reid was, he headed the ball towards goal, however his effort was straight into the hands of Keiren Westwood. That was all for a timid first half and both sides went in goalless.

The second half opened with Wednesdays best chance of the game as Wallace floated the ball into the visitors box for someone to attack it, that man was Aden Flint who redirected the ball towards his own goal and, luckily for the City defender, on to the roof of the net.

City should have gone ahead on 73 minutes when Browhill played substitute Milan Djuric through on goal, Djuric forced a save out of Westwood but the ball trickled to Bobby Reid. Reid tried to chip the ball into the goal but Hooper headed it away only to Flint who tried the acrobatics once again and hit it wide of the goal.

There was a penalty shout near the end for the Owls as Bannan tiptoed his way towards goal and was brought down by Joe Bryan but the referee waved away an claims.

Despite the fact the Owls failed to register a shot on goal, a draw seemed the fair result in the end.

The game left me and fellow fans very disappointed that we couldn’t find the good playing style we had shown in the previous two wins against Millwall and Aston Villa which both ended 2-1 to the Owls.
