Owusu & co. star in early show

The Owls continued their fine record away from home with a tight 2-1 victory over Wycombe at the Causeway Stadium. Early goals from Lloyd Owusu and Alan Quinn set the Owls on their way to their third win away win on the trot. It put Chris Turner's side back up into fifth in the table, despite not yet having won at Hillsborough so far this season.

Lloyd Owusu's run went unnoticed and the former Brentford man headed home from a corner after just five minutes to open the scoring. And three minutes later it was 2-0, Owusu again involved. This time he did brilliantly to hold off his man, swivel and play a perfect pass to the oncoming Alan Quinn. From there the young Irishman had no problem in tucking the ball past a stranding Wycombe goalkeeper.

And not for the first time this season Wednesday allowed their opponents back into the game. Ola Tidman and the Owls defence were kept busy throughout the first half, and finally let slip just three minutes before the break. Graeme Lee's backpass header caused mayhem in the Owls box, and Jermaine McSporran was on hand to roof the ball into the back of the net.

Half-time: Wycombe 1-2 Owls

The Owls had to battle hard in the second half as the home side heaped on the pressure. Turner also introduced veteran midfielder Robbie Mustoe in the 63rd minute. The former Middlesbrough man had missed the early part of the season with a hamstring strain.

With just nine minutes left Derek Geary made the task in hand that much harder when his reckless challenge saw him sent off. The full-back had miscontrolled the ball and then went two-footed in on a Wycombe player. Turner quickly threw on defender Steven Haslam in an attempt to strengthen the Owls' defence. It worked, and Wednesday held on for a narrow victory.
