How did Sheffield Wednesday's Ryo Hatsuse fare on his full debut? Player ratings

Sheffield Wednesday suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Sunderland, their fourth defeat in five games.

It was another frustrating game for the Owls, whose performance once more did not reflect the result.

James Beadle – made an excellent second-half save 7

Pol Valentín – defended well and offered a threat down the right 8

Michael Ihiekwe – lost Eliezer Mayenda for the decisive goal 5

Max Lowe – too weak for the opener, even if there was a handball 5

Ryo Hatsuse – an excellent first start, getting forward and defending well; his final ball was not always there but he is still finding his feet 7

Shea Charles – Wednesday's Mr Flexible got moved to a back three after Max Lowe's injury and did a good job there 7

Svante Ingelsson – you are never quite sure what you will get from the midfielder but this was one of his very good days, winning the ball high and creating Callum Paterson's goal 8

Callum Paterson – his game went up a notch when he switched to centre-forward at half-time, so it was a real pity he was injured so early in it 7

Barry Bannan – not sparkling but he got stuck in 6

Djeidi Gassama – really bright in the first half, often coming inside to good effect; less so in the second 7

Josh Windass – in a poor trot at the moment, missing some good chances to get on the scoresheet 5
