West Brom skipper Fletcher: We must fight-back from derby defeats

West Bromwich Albion captain Darren Fletcher is confident they can fight-back from consecutive defeats to Aston Villa.

The former Manchester United star says it's vital they don't suffer any hangover in their bid to stay well clear of trouble.

He said: "It is very hard to get over defeats like the Cup game at Villa but by the time we came back in on Monday, we'd shaken off the emotion and the disappointment.

"As a professional, that's what you have to do. There is still a very big job ahead of us in the Premier League so you can't afford to be too down for too long.

"There is so much still for us to play for this season, and we need to be clear about the job in front of us."
