# West Bromwich Albion: Fans flock to club’s Conor Townsend post

**Fans of West Bromwich Albion have been reacting to a post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1379464368396587009), in which the Baggies shared their appreciation for the club’s left-back, Conor Townsend.**

So far this season, Townsend has performed impressively over his 17 appearances in Sam Allardyce’s backline, with the 28-year-old making an average of [1.5 tackles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/108640/Show/Conor-Townsend), [1.6 interceptions](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/108640/Show/Conor-Townsend) and [2.1 clearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/108640/Show/Conor-Townsend) per game, culminating in an average [WhoScored match rating of 6.77](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/108640/Show/Conor-Townsend) – ranking him as the club’s [sixth-best player](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/175/Show/England-West-Bromwich-Albion) in the top flight.

Seemingly in reaction to these admirable displays, the [West Brom Twitter account](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1379464368396587009) shared an image of Townsend in action for the club, captioning the picture: “Conor Townsend appreciation post.”

And, in response to the club’s [post](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1379464368396587009), fans of West Brom flocked to have their say on the matter, with many heaping a considerable amount of praise on the defender, with some dubbing him as the Baggies’ most improved player this season, while others picked out their favourite Townsend moments of the season.
