The Owls put in a good performance down at Home Park, however were sucker-punched in extra time as Sam Cosgrove gave the Pilgrims an important win that kept them top of the League One table.
If they’re to make sure that they don’t lose any ground on the top two, Darren Moore’s side need maximum points at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, but will need to see off a side that have won four of their last five matches and beat Bolton Wanderers earlier this week. So it’s no easy task.

Wednesday break through Johnson
He does well to win the ball back, but his slipped pass in the box just evades Bannan and the chance is gone.
Chance!
Wednesday still struggling to really have an impact on this second half. It’s Cheltenham asking the questions recently, and they’ve just spurned a bit opportunity. Wide of the post for a corner, which is eventually cleared.
Brilliant Johnson
The battled back tremendous to time a sliding tackle perfectly after Ihiekwe was caught out. Wednesday haven’t really been at the races this half.
Freekick Owls
Wednesday have a freekick midway into the Cheltenham half, but before it’s taken Mighten makes way for FDB.
Bandaged up
He’s got his head wrapped up, and he’s got a fresh shirt on, but Heneghan is back on the field once again.
A bit of a stoppage
There‘s been a collision in the Cheltenham box after a corner, and it’s Heneghan getting a bit of treatment. Looks like he’ll be fine, but he’s just being looked at.
