West Brom player ratings: Low marks as unbeaten start ends at Sheffield Wednesday

Alex Palmer

Not a good day for Albion and marks reflect it. Palmer helpless for first and third but might have done better for second. Two decent first-half saves. 5

Darnell Furlong

So good so far this season but, like most, fell well below his level. Unlucky with the own goal but unusually sloppy otherwise. 5

Semi Ajayi

Neither centre-back enjoyed a day to write home about at the heart of defence. Ajayi solid defensively this term but not here. Subbed off just before winner. 5

Kyle Bartley

Like Furlong, Bartley was another to fall from sky-high standards set this season. A few sloppy and ponderous moments and far from as solid as we've come to expect. 5

Torbjorn Heggem

Did OK, best of his side's back four so can take some credit from that. Did finally move into centre late on, though Wednesday netted winner soon afterwards. 6

Ousmane Diakite

A first league start didn't go to plan and lasted just 45 minutes as Albion went 2-0 down. Loose touches, passes and erratic challenges. 5

Uros Racic

Didn't fare much better than partner Diakite. Wanted too much time on the ball. Slow start and couldn't recover. 5

John Swift

Saw more of the ball than some colleagues but couldn't get going with it and lacked quality. 5

Tom Fellows

Really well-marshalled by Marvin Johnson and others throughout but still rose in second half for classy Maja assist. 6

Josh Maja

Possibly his quietest game yet but he cannot stop scoring. Seven in seven is remarkable. Brave header. Otherwise shackled. 6

Karlan Grant

Denied by decent first half save. Worked hard but little impact otherwise and came off. 6
