Sheffield Wednesday are doing very well in the Championship at the moment and they currently sit in third place in the table (BBC Sport).

The Owls beat Stoke City 1-0 in their last outing (BBC Sport), meaning that they have now won four of their last seven, losing just once (Transfermarkt).
Several players have been playing well for Garry Monk, but one who has been getting specific praise on social media is defender Morgan Fox.
The 26-year-old hasn’t been a regular this season, indeed he was on the bench for eight of Wednesday’s opening 11 Championship fixtures (Transfermarkt).
However, he has started their last two matches against Cardiff City and Stoke City and fans have been impressed with the former Charlton Athletic player.
Against Stoke, the stats show that he had a good game. He won four aerial duels, made four clearances and two tackles, blocked one shot and made one key pass in the 90 minutes, finishing with a WhoScored rating of 7.32 – the second-highest of any Owls player.
Several Sheffield Wednesday supporters took to Twitter after the game to praise Fox, here is what some of them had to say…
Backed Morgan Fox from the start. He’s a capable operator at this level, as proven recently. Gives his all every game, gets stuck in and is putting some decent crosses over. Amazing what happens when you’re playing in a team with structure and with people believing in you #swfc

Gets a lot of stick but @MA_Fox was brilliant last night, back 4 looks as solid as ever in recent games👊

A bit of an appreciation tweet for Morgan Fox… He’s taken so much stick from some #SWFC fans, but he’s knuckled down, got on with his game, and been excellent of late.
Superb in the first half especially tonight, and was very good v Cardiff, too. 🦉 pic.twitter.com/9iLE6kzZWc

Fox deserves huge credit for how he’s approached this season. Never let us down when he plays. Never hides on the pitch and has an eye for a decent delivery. Part of our strongest back four 👏👏👏 #swfc

Worth a word on Morgan Fox’s performances since he came back into the side. Solid at Cardiff and outstanding tonight. Seems to be growing in confidence with every minute. #SWFC
