The Dominant Norwich Team of last season

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

To add to this, I don't think Norwich had games in hand either, which makes our position all the stronger.

But they had played their 34th game in February.

Surely when the game was played is irrelevant, they still had 12 games left too. The point is that everyone had generally played the same number of games.

Its not over yet by a long shot

It does when you're considering the perception of dominance. We're currently 8 points clear with two games in hand, had we of played a couple of our postponed games when they were scheduled, provided we won them, we would be 14 points clear. To a lot of people 14 points would seem to be a lot more dominant than only 8, albeit with two games in hand.

I wasn't disagreeing with you. All of the teams had played roughly the same number of games, with Norwich having played the most. So yes, we have an edge I think. But, they had played their 34th game in February which means that they had more time to play their last 12 games - they had two fewer Tuesday games than we will have. So more time to recover from knocks - perhaps that made it a bit easier for them in their run in.

What was the final Norwich points tally?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Norwich's form didn't really drop at all at the end. They finished with:

P46 W29 D8 L9 Pt95 GD+42

So won 7, drew 2 and lost 3 (23 points - a touch under Gus's 2 per game) in their final 12 games.

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

Norwich finished with 95.

Why not take this a step further

Leicester were dominant the season before too, many would say even better than Norwich so heres how we compare with both of them.

               Pld W  D  L F  A PTS
Leicester City  34 21 11 2 64 28 74
Norwich City    34 22  6 6 70 36 72
Brighton & H.A. 34 21  8 5 64 26 71

Not to shabby in my opinion!

[Icy Gull]

Best League 1 team of the last 5 years at the moment, keep it up lads

Suprisingly even better than Nigel Adkins last team too but not by 10 points.

Just had another look at the fixtures and it really isn't beyond the realms of possibility for us to win every game this month and effectively put promotion to bed
