Albion’s Second Tier Season Comparison – 32 games

Albion conceded three goals in a league match for the first time under Carlos Corberán as they were beaten 3-2 at Vicarage Road to leave them in 10th place after 32 games.

It leaves the Baggies four points off the play-offs with fourteen games to go, meaning they will likely need a two points-per-game (ppg) haul in their remaining matches in order to claim a spot in the top six. As a comparison, Gary Megson’s 2002 team claimed almost 2.3 ppg from their last 14 games, his 2004 team went at just 1.86 ppg, Di Matteo’s 2010 team went at around 2.2 ppg while Mowbray’s title winning team also claimed just 1.86 ppg in the same period.

It is also worth noting that, despite having only picked up four points from the last five games, Corberán’s team have picked up 28 points from the last 14 games which is a tally that should see the Baggies secure a play-off place were it to be replicated between now and the end of the regular campaign.
