Albion’s Premier League Season Comparison – 29 games

Published on: Author: Jon Want

It was a better performance than against Huddersfield, but ultimately it was the same result. A story of Albion’s season as they failed to take their chances and one mistake cost them.

At the time of writing, Alan Pardew is still in a job, but reports suggest that situation might not last too long. Games are now fact running out for the Baggies and they are now eight points off safety with just nine games to go.

In the Great Escape season, game 29 saw Albion go down to a 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge as they caught up their game in hand on their rivals. That left them in 19th place, five points off 17th.

After that match the table stood as follows:
