Albion’s Promotion Challenge Season Comparison – 29 games

A home defeat to Middlesbrough leaves Albion seven points off the top two, although with a game in hand and with 51 points to play for, there is still a long way to go

Gary Megson’s successful promotion team in 2002 had two fewer points at the same stage and went on to pick up 41 points from the last 17 games, while Tony Mowbray’s title winning team had just one more point at this stage but were top of the table.
