Sheffield Wednesday fans have been left divided over Tom Lees’ critical comments of the Hillsborough crowd.

Sections of Wednesday’s crowd jeered Morgan Fox during their side’s win over Bolton Wanderers in midweek.

And Lees spoke up in defence of his teammates in the Sheffield Star, suggesting that he couldn’t understand why that happened.

He said: “Some things I understand, some things I don’t.

“I did not understand it on Saturday with Foxy and as captain, I think it is right for me to say that I think it was poor.

“Everyone has got their own opinion and can say what they want; they (fans) pay their money to get in. I just do not think that helps anyone.”

The comments have drawn a mixed response among Wednesday fans, who are divided over that opinion.

While some Wednesday fans agree with Lees that Fox shouldn’t have been booed, others suggest that those who have paid their money are entitled to express their dissatisfaction.

The mood around Wednesday has been soured by their recent run of bad form.

The Owls have badly struggled for victories, and they will hope that the win over Bolton can kick-start their season.
