# West Brom: Baggies fans react as Darren Fletcher returns to The Hawthorns

**West Brom saw themselves replaced by Leeds United at the top of the Sky Bet Championship table yesterday evening as the Whites earned a late win over Reading at the Madejski Stadium.**

The Baggies and the Whites have been the two best teams so far this season and we’re getting to a point now where they could begin to pull away and have their own fight – with West Brom playing tonight against Bristol City.

A win will be the only thing on their minds tonight, then, with Slaven Bilic so far doing a good job as manager of the club.

One man looking to become a manager eventually, meanwhile, is Darren Fletcher and he has returned to the club to further his coaching learning.

The club confirmed the appointment of their former midfielder so let’s take a look at how Baggies fans have reacted to the news on social media:

> Welcome back, Fletch! 🙌🏼

> The popular former skipper has accepted an invitation to return to the club to continue his coaching pathway. [#WBA](https://x.com/hashtag/WBA?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)[https://t.co/zqMsLc897D](https://t.co/zqMsLc897D)
