Sheffield Wednesday fans have fumed at Liam Cooper after he was at fault for the first goal they conceded against Derby County.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/a> have the slimmest of chances of staying up in the Championship<\/a> this season, so the rest of this campaign is more about pride and playing for the fans than anything else.<\/p>\n

Henrik Pedersen\u2019s side are clearly finding that tough to deal with, after a 3-0 loss to Derby County<\/a> on home turf on Monday consigned them to a fifth defeat in their last six games.<\/p>\n

A Patrick Agyemang brace on either side of Liam Thompson\u2019s goal just before the hour mark saw the Rams seal a comfortable three points to move up to the 12th in the second-tier.<\/p>\n

Former Leeds captain Cooper joined Wednesday<\/a> last month after being a free agent, and his lack of recent playing time was clear to see against Derby as he struggled to keep the hosts\u2019 backline together.<\/p>\n

Pedersen\u2019s side were able to keep the Rams out for the first half-hour of the clash, as they matched their opponents and looked to be confident that they could get something out of the game.<\/p>\n

That all changed in the 32nd minute, however, as Cooper played a loose pass to Svante Ingelsson, who was forced to tackle the ball away but could only do so to a Derby midfielder.<\/p>\n

Barely five seconds later, the ball was in the net for 1-0 as Bobby Clark played Agyemang through and he finished with aplomb past Pierce Charles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It was pretty much all Derby from then on in as they went on to score two more, with 34-year-old Cooper struggling to play out from the defence as he completed just three of seven attempted long passes.<\/p>\n

Derby fans goaded Wednesday<\/a> and their recent financial troubles as they eased to three points, but things could have been so different had Cooper not misplaced a simple pass to allow John Eustace\u2019s side a chance on goal.<\/p>\n

Wednesday fans fume at Cooper<\/p>\n

Football Insider<\/strong> recently revealed that Wednesday are interested in signing Everton centre-back Reece Welch<\/a> in January, so they are clearly targeting defensive additions as they aim to stop conceding so many goals.<\/p>\n

Cooper could be the man dropped from the starting eleven if he does join, despite his experience, with many Owls supporters taking to X to slate him due to the mistake against Derby.<\/p>\n

One fan said: \u201cNever thought I\u2019d see someone worse on the ball than Iorfa, but Cooper really is. Absolute disaster waiting to happen every time he gets it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cGet Liam Cooper off. Garbage player\u201c, as one also asked: \u201c(Is) Cooper\u2019s deal up in January? Please say it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

While one supporter added: \u201cCooper again man. Killing us with his inability to pass accurately.\u201d<\/p>\n
