Notts County boss Craig Short told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"After conceding two we could have gone under - most teams would, but we showed some great spirit after that.

"We played some good football and looked a threat going forward against a very strong Sheffield Wednesday line-up.

"It was the best team performance this season. We lost but I'm proud of the way we played. It was a good all-round performance and the players should take heart from that."
