Sheffield Wednesday player ratings: Who 'had a bit of a mare'? Who didn't?

Sheffield Wednesday had an awful night as they lost 3-0 to Derby County.

Pierce Charles – when even he was giving the ball away you know it is going to be a bad night but he made some decent saves to keep it at three 7

Sean Fusire – too weak for the third goal 5

Dominic Iorfa – a slide tackle early in the second half apart, he had a bit of a mare. Subbed in the second half 4

Liam Cooper – had a really sloppy period in the first half when he kept giving the ball away, and it allowed Derby to get in front 5

Max Lowe – played the ball to Patrick Agyemang for the third goal 5

Harry Amass – one lovely bit of skill by his own corner flag and a backheel to release Max Lowe. Ruben Amorim cannot have seen much of him if the Manchester United coach really thinks his loanee is struggling 7

Svante Ingelsson – given a hospital pass in the build-up to the opener. Forced a second-half save at least 5

Barry Bannan – an excellent defensive header was the highlight of his night 6

Charlie McNeill – a cheap booking capped his night 5

Jamal Lowe – unusually quiet in the inside-left role 5

Bailey Cadamarteri – by no means the only one, but the ball was not sticking with him 6

Substitutes:

Nathaniel Chalobah (for J Lowe, 62) – on a hiding to nothing 5

Gabriel Otegbayo (for Iorfa, 86) – N/A

Yisa Alao (for Amass, 90+2) – N/A
