Following the match, several supporters took to social media to criticise the performance of some of the Owls players with Newcastle United loanee Jacob Murphy coming in for his fair share of flak.
Some members of the home crowd decided to label him as one of the worst loan players the club have ever seen while one went as far as expanding the barometer to the entire Dejphon Chansiri era.
Another claimed the 24-year-old was a waste of a shirt and a further Owls supporter said his performance explained why he only ever gets sent out on loan.
Per SofaScore, Murphy managed only nine passes in 80 minutes at an accuracy rate of just 60%, failed to provide an accurate cross in seven attempts and lost possession 17 times.
It was so bad that it has led to many asking for one thing in particular…
One fan offered to drive him back to Newcastle in January if it meant that he had to no longer witness him in the blue and white stripes while another claimed Murphy was a better salesman than a footballer.
The Magpies man has only scored two and assisted one in 19 appearances in all competitions this term, ten of which have been starts, per Transfermarkt.
