Sean Dyche was disappointed Chris Wood and Charlie Taylor got "slaughtered" by Leeds fans during Burnley's Carabao Cup defeat.
Former Elland Road pair Wood and Taylor faced an early reunion with Leeds fans during the tie at Turf Moor on Tuesday.
Wood, who left for Premier League side Burnley in a £15m deal this summer, scored twice from the penalty spot after coming off the bench - once in normal time to help force a 2-2 draw and again in a shootout which the Clarets lost 5-3.
But Dyche found it difficult to justify the vitriol directed towards Wood and Taylor from the away end.
"It's a strange business, football," said Dyche, after his side were knocked out by their Sky Bet Championship opposition.
"Twenty-odd million they've made for a club (in transfer fees) and they get slaughtered. I don't know anymore how fans react to players, ex-players, all that stuff, but that's football now.
"Those two have been fantastic servants to Leeds, if I'm honest. But Woody has done fantastically, walking onto our pitch and scoring, and again in the shootout."
