West Brom progressed into the fourth round of the FA Cup at the weekend with a win over a youthful Charlton Athletic side at The Valley.
The Baggies also named a much-changed side as both teams look to preserve key senior players for their league campaign but those that did play for the visitors did enough to seal the club’s progression into the next round.
Baggies fans will await tonight’s draw with excitement, then, and in the meantime, those that were involved have been taking to Twitter to look back on the win.
One of those was stand-in goalkeeper Jonathan Bond who replaced regular goalkeeper Sam Johnstone in between the sticks and he sent out this message to supporters:
Great to be back out there today and keep a clean sheet. Thank you for your support 👍🏻👍🏻 🔵⚪️ #wba #coyb pic.twitter.com/7knuWto17X

He recorded a clean sheet, too, and fans were quick to praise him on Twitter in light of this.
Let’s see what has been said by supporters of the side from the Black Country:
