Hillsborough.

Wildsmith: Turned away Sibley's early drive at full-stretch and had to be alert on a taxing night for the hosts. 7

Palmer: Produced Wednesday's first shot on target. Had his hands full at the other end of the pitch with the lively Sibley. 6

Lees: Assigned with holding the Owls defence together and made sure it held firm. Just 7

Shaw: Another part of his Championship education - this time as a centre-back. Was certainly kept busy and stuck to his guns. 7

Odubajo: Found Jozwiak to be an awkward customer. 6

Reach: Fired a chip over in the first half. Could not dictate either on the right or left. 6

Pelupessy: On the retreat in a first half in which Derby dominated. Dug in. 6

Bannan: Made a key block to stop a goal-bound shot from Shinnie. His terrific delivery produced Wednesday's best first-half chance for Kachunga. 7

Harris: His jinking run to set up Reach was a rare moment of offensive quality from the Owls.Looked the man most likely. Brilliant late challenge saved a goal. 7

Windass: Quiet game and his night was curtailed by injury on 37 minutes. 5

Paterson: Huffed and puffed and showed trademark graft and got his reward with his second goal in successive games. 7
