‘Struggled’ ‘Out-battled’ – 4/10s in Sheffield Wednesday ratings from FA Cup defeat at Oldham Athletic

Sheffield Wednesday were eliminated from the FA Cup following an extra-time defeat against League Two side Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park. The match was the first fixture under new Sheffield Wednesday manager Dave Challinor, who suffered a loss in his debut outing as his team dominated possession with 71 percent but managed an expected goals figure of only 0.68.

Oldham took the lead twice across the 120-minute physical encounter, with Davis Keillor-Dunn scoring an equalizer for Wednesday during the second half. Goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer was forced off due to an injury in the 17th minute following a collision, while writer Alex Miller criticized multiple players for struggling against Oldham's physical approach.
