Sheffield Wednesday v Reading: Player Ratings

Alex McCarthy - 6

Would have been higher were it not for the collective abomination of goal three.

Chris Gunter - 5

Endeavour but sadly part of a unit that capitulated. Poor from him for goal four.

Stephen Kelly - 2

Woefully exposed, positionally awful, Antonio gave him a predictable runaround.

Sean Morrison - 3

Buffet defending. Help yourselves Fryatt and Wickham.

Alex Pearce - 2

Mobility found wanting, confidence and man-up-ability when you want leaders sadly lacking.

Garath McCLeary - 5

Endeavour, but no real end product.

Jordan Obita - 6

sad for him, on the receiving end of unwarranted stick second half but quality missing from him.

Chris Baird - 4

Bairdinho he was not. Catastrophic passage of play for goal three.

Danny Guthrie - 5

Influential to a degree going forward, nowhere defensively.

Hal Robson-Kanu - 3

Anonymous except for a few brief first half glimpses. One decent shot when through on goal.

Pavel Pogrebnyak - 7

The one shining light. Held up play well, brought others into play, Wednesday defenders couldn't handle him. Superb header.

Subs:-

Adam Le Fondre - 4

Typically anonymous performance, decent penalty however.

Nick Blackman - 6

One of few to come out with credit. Willing to run at his full back, always wanted the ball, excellent chance spurned near the end.
