Conor Coady responds to Leicester’s victory over West Brom with a new message.
The Black Country derby is a rivalry that every West Brom and Wolves fan in the country is aware of, and Conor Coady is no exception.
Coady, who joined Leicester City permanently last summer, was in the squad for the 2-1 win over West Brom on Saturday (2 November).
However, it was clear that his former club Wolves, as well as his hatred for the Baggies, remained in his mind, owing to the rivalry between the two Midlands clubs.
Coady captioned his Instagram story, “Always nice getting a win at this place.”
Different divisions of hatred
West Brom vs. Wolves is a rivalry that some fans have yet to witness, as the two teams rarely meet for more than a few years at a time.
The last time the derby took place was in the 2021/22 Premier League season, when West Brom won 3-2 away before drawing 1-1 at Molineux.
Despite the loss to the league leaders on Saturday and the player’s antagonizing story, Baggies fans will be able to laugh at him, as many have already done.
The 32-year-old was captain of Wolves before joining Everton on loan last season, where he was dropped by Sean Dyche in the final weeks of the season. Now that he has joined the Foxes in the Championship, he has been assigned a comfortable spot on the bench, with Jannik Vestergaard and Wout Faes preferred ahead of him.
The ex-England international has had a difficult road. Coady has fallen behind 33-year-old Craig Dawson at Wolves, James Tarkowski at Everton, and now the centre-back duo at the King Power.
When considering Coady’s current situation, West Brom fans may have the last laugh, despite his gloating after the Baggies’ fifth loss of the season.
