Sheffield Wednesday 21/22 player ratings as Barry Bannan stars but Lewis Wing and Sylla Sow flop

There was no fairy-tale ending for Sheffield Wednesday after a rollercoaster 2021/22 season. Darren Moore's men lost 2-1 to Sunderland in a two-legged play-off semi-final as they missed out on an instant return to the Championship.

Got through that sticky patch and produced a series of excellent performances. A fine shot-stopper, Peacock-Farrell recorded 17 clean sheets in 48 appearances across all competitions. Looks unlikely he will return to S6 next year.

Four of his eight starts came in the cup competitions. Wildsmith chalked up three clean sheets and delivered a man-of-the-match display in the victory over Harrogate Town in the Papa John's Trophy.

Will probably leave at the end of his contract.
