[Albion] Norwich's position on 19th January 2014 under Hughton

Norwich 2nd half of the season looks ominous for us but we live in hope that CH has learned his lesson.

Think we'll get two more wins and maybe a few draws or so

Norwich have had 2 collapses, once with Hughton (Neil Adams in the last 5) and once with Alex Neil in their first season back, where both times they looked okay in the first half but fell away. We can draw a lot of parallels to the Norwich side of 2013-14 by looking at stats

Hughton first 19: W5 D5 L9
Hughton last 13 (he was sacked Gameweek 33 after losing to WBA): W3 D3 L9
Adams last 5: W0 D1 L4 2F/10A

Hughton overall goals before sacking: 26F/52A
Second half of the season goals (13 games): F11/A20

Wins: 1-0 x5 2-0 x2 3-1 x1
Defeats: 1-0 x4 2-0 x3 2-1 x3 3-0 x1 3-1 x1 4-0 x1 4-1 x2 4-2 x1 5-1 x1 7-0 x1
Draws: 0-0 x4 1-1 x3 2-2 x1

Clean Sheets: 11
Blanks: 17
Top Scorer: Hooper/Snodgrass (5)

Norwich team vs WBA 0-1:

----------------------------Ruddy--------------------------------
Russ Martin-----Bassong-----Yobo-----Martin Olsson
Snodgrass-----Tettey-----J Howson-----J Elmander
---------------------------Hoolahan-----------------------------
-------------------------Gary Hooper---------------------------

Bench: Mark Bunn, Steven Whittaker, Bradley Johnson, Jonas Gutierrez, Nathan Redmond, Luciano Becchio, Ricky van Wolfswinkel
Other players they had: Ryan Bennett, Michael Turner, Leroy Fer, David Fox, Anthony Pilkington, Elliott Bennett, Javier Garrido, Josh Murphy, Andrew Surman (out on loan), Daniel Ayala (out on loan)

I think we've got a somewhat better squad than Norwich had but will still be a challenge if we're in for a repeat of what they managed.
