West Brom fans reply to Nathan Ferguson message after win over Birmingham

West Bromwich Albion twice went behind but Slaven Bilic's charges fought on to record a 3-2 win and take all three points back to The Hawthorns.

A number of West Bromwich Albion fans have taken to Twitter to respond to Nathan Ferguson's post-match message after the Baggies battled to a 3-2 victory away at Birmingham City.

Slaven Bilic's charges began poorly at St Andrew's, falling behind after three minutes to Lukas Jutkiewicz's third-minute header, although Grady Diangana netted just seven minutes later to go in at the break level.

Harlee Dean then beat Conor Townsend as a corner was whipped in for Birmingham's 47th-minute goal, but Charlie Austin's brace, on 73 and 81 minutes, saw the Baggies claim victory to go on 49 points.

Ferguson had a somewhat tricky afternoon as he came up against a strong foe in fellow youngster Jude Bellingham, but Bilic had some words with him during a break in play and then switched him to left back, and he, like the team, pulled through in the end.

With the 19-year-old's contract reportedly up at the end of the season - as reported by the Express & Star - quite a few West Brom fans urged him to pen a new deal, as well as praising his efforts on the day.

Here is some of the social media reaction to Ferguson's message:

Up next for Bilic's charges is next Saturday's Championship clash with Brentford at The Hawthorns.
