West Bromwich Albion: Fans show support after club fall to first defeat of the season

West Bromwich Albion fans showed their support for the club after the Baggies fell to their first defeat of the season in the Championship last night.

Slaven Bilic’s side lost 1-0 away to fellow promotion-chasers Leeds United, thanks to a goal from Ezgjan Alioski in the first-half.

The loss ended the Midland side’s unbeaten run in the Championship, but they remain in second place in the table after Nottingham Forest could only draw away to Blackburn Rovers.

The loss against the Yorkshire side also continued the unwanted record of conceding in most of their games this season. The Baggies have kept just one clean sheet in their 10 Championship games so far this campaign, conceding 11 goals in the process (via BBC).

Despite the loss to Leeds, the fans tried their best to raise the spirits ahead of a crucial game against Cardiff City, as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Hawthorns faithful:

Huffed and puffed but Leeds just too organised and we snatched at a few chances. Bring on Saturday.

No complaints at all. Lost to a deflected effort and did everything but score. Wouldn’t hurt to shoot a little more and test the keeper from outside the box, but apart from that the lads were brilliant. Play like that every week and we’ll be partying before April is over
