Former Sheffield Wednesday defender Michael Hector has given his former teammate Jordan Thornilley a rather unflattering nickname.

It came after the current Wednesday man shared an Instagram post following the Owls' exit from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Everton and Hector was quick to reply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sharing a photograph of himself from the match, Thorniley was met with a blunt comment from Hector, who simply said: "Meat head."

A brace from Dominic Calvert Lewin was enough to condemn Garry Monk to his first defeat as Wednesday manager ahead of this weekend's trip to Middlesbrough.

Last season, Hector played a huge part in the Steel City side's campaign, racking up 37 Championship appearances during his loan spell from Chelsea as well as winning the club's player of the season award.

However, they were unable to land him on a permanent deal in the summer, with second-tier rivals Fulham instead pouncing to agree a deal to bring him in during the January window.

Wednesday currently sit in ninth place with eight matches played and a win against Boro could see them break into the top-six.

The verdict

It is good to see that Hector has managed to maintain his bond with members of the Wednesday squad despite the disappointment from the summer.

It looked inevitable that he would move to Wednesday permanently but it wasn't to be.

With Tom Lees and Julian Borner forming a brilliant partnership as well, it has made the outcome of the saga much more easy to stomach, as well.
