West Brom earned themselves a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup at the weekend as they edged Charlton Athletic 1-0 in a tight game at The Valley.
The Baggies’ priority this season is obviously to make it back into the Premier League but they have the capability to get themselves far in the cup, too, judging by this performance.
Indeed, Slaven Bilic changed up his side for the game at the weekend and involved some of the youngsters with them impressing in a positive nod to the work being done at the club’s academy right now.
One man that is coming through from that, too, is Rico Richards who made the bench at the weekend – though he didn’t actually feature at The Valley.
Even so, he sent out this gracious message on Twitter after the game:

Fans responded to that, too, so let’s take a look at that reaction now:
Your time will come Rico, take this experience in your stride…
