Sheffield Wednesday had several chances to bring the score level and their best opportunity fell to the rejuvenated Jordan Rhodes on 65 minutes, who had scored three times in his last three matches before today.
He fired over from inside the six-yard area, however.
Groves said: “From Darren Moore’s point of view he’s probably come a little bit too late. But, even though he’s not here, he will be delighted with the way Sheffield Wednesday approached the game and they played quite well.
