Sheffield Wednesday fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Derby County-owned Jacob Butterfield against Birmingham City in the Championship.

Butterfield, who joined Wednesday on a season-long loan deal from Championship rivals Derby in the summer of 2017, featured in the match against Birmingham at the Hillsborough Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The 27-year-old midfielder started the match and played for 71 minutes, as the Owls lost 3-1.

Wednesday fans were not impressed with the performance of the former Barnsley midfielder and have strongly criticised him on Twitter.

Manager needs to take considerable blame also. Wrong player selection gave us no chance before we capitulated. Fox, Butterfield and Loovens should be nowhere near the first team #swfc

The likes of Fox, Butterfield, Venâncio & Nuihu are nowhere near good enough. Understand the new lad Pelupessy needs time to settle but not seen anything so far to suggest he’s the answer either. #swfc

Credit Venancio for apologising to fans after having a poor game, but Fox seems to get worse the more he plays and the least said about Butterfield the better. #swfc

Still getting over watching that yesterday. Butterfield is down there with the likes of Lunt, Potter, and Craig Armstrong (who?)…to name but 3 CM. And as for Fox, well, come back Wiggins! Dire.

Woke up this morning and going out for a jog.
I figure if Jacob Butterfield can get a game for us, my dream of playing for Wednesday is still not over. Even at 50. #swfc

@swfc is there no way we can just send Jacob Butterfield back to Derby or just drop him to the under 8’s which would be more his level? Just somewhere so he’s nowhere near the 1st team?

Wish Fox and Butterfield would of been sent off as well game would of been called off and we would of had to replay it. On a plus note no Butterfield for next Home game against Derby. #swfc

Thoughts on today. Game was lost as soon as we conceded. #swfc not good enough offensively. Poor invidual errors cost us. Sending off was the final nail. Poor call to sub Loovens IMHO whilst Fox & Butterfield rob a living. If JL is going to play 5 in def it has to be Hunt & Pudil

Wednesday are not having a good season, and Butterfield is one of a number of players who are struggling to play well.

The midfielder has started 11 Championship matches and made seven substitute appearances so far this season.

The Owls are as low as 17th in the Championship table at the moment with 33 points from 30 matches, just seven points above the relegation zone.
