VIDEO: Owls 3 Birmingham 0 - First goal should have been disallowed, says Rowett
Rowett recognised the Owls' quality in a game which saw Fernando Forestieri again score twice for the second week in a row and Kieran Lee bag the other, but was disappointed in the goals conceded.
He was also frustrated at what he regarded as an injustice as the Blues boss felt there was a foul by Atdhe Nuhiu in the build up to the opener.

"They got the opening goal and it was a very poor goal from our point of view. But I've seen the replay and you can quite clearly see there's a foul from [Atdhe] Nuhiu and then the ball comes of Forestieri's hand.

"We huffed and puffed but we just didn't show enough quality in the game."
