The Sheffield Wednesday captain kept his fourth clean sheet in seven matches on Tuesday.
Tom Lees has yet to miss a minute of Sheffield Wednesday’s post-Luhukay revolution.
In seven games since the Dutchman’s departure as Wednesday manager, the Owls centre-half and captain has played his part in a trio of victories, four clean sheets and only one defeat.
But his performance at Luton Town on Tuesday has had some of a blue and white persuasion questioning Lees’ ability – after a game in which he came close to beating his own ‘keeper from 50 yards out (footage of which you can see in the tweet below).
This is what they’re saying about the 28-year-old on Twitter…
SWFC_cal @SWFC_cal: tom lees is ******* ****, needs dropping
StevieBrown @StevieBOwls: Tom Lees is nothing like the player he used to be, he’s either bang average or an absolute ******* liability ! There’s no middle ground #SWFC
Trigger. @Trigger_1066: Tom Lees is a ******* horrendous captain.
The new Sheffield Wednesday manager, Steve Bruce, who was once one of England’s best in Lees’ position, is rumoured to want to strengthen there this month.
And it remains to be seen how prominently the long-serving Owls man will feature in Bruce’s post-January plans, having delayed his arrival at Hillsborough until the start of next month.
Wednesday also count Michael Hector, Jordan Thorniley, Daniel Pudil and Joost van Aken among their options at centre-half.
Are some Sheffield Wednesday supporters being harsh on Lees?
