The Owls' good run form came to an end when Colchester United visited Hillsborough. Goals from United's Teddy Sheringham set the ball rolling in the first minute of play followed by a 26th minute effort from George Elokobi that was to see the visitors leaving Sheffield with all the points, but a 35th minute strike from in-form front man Akpo Sodje gave the Home fans a glimmer of hope beating Dean Gerken to his fifth goal for Wednesday.
