Wednesday fans had to endure yet another abject home performance from their team as they became the first team to lose to
To add insult to injury, it was Alan Quinn, a former Owl and more recently, a Blade, who set the tone, giving Town the lead after just 4 minutes with a well hit shot from distance that somehow beat Lee Grant at his near post.
