Alan Pardew: His West Brom timeline and numbers

We take a look at some of the key dates and numbers in the 56-year-old's short spell in charge at The Hawthorns:

December 2, 2017

Pardew was appointed as Tony Pulis' successor on November 29 and took charge of his first game three days later when his former club Crystal Palace visited The Hawthorns. West Brom were already without a win in 13 matches in all competitions and while Pardew was unable to break that run with a victory, there were some encouraging signs against Palace. A more attacking line-up had 20 shots on goal and enjoyed more possession but were unable to break down the visitors. The game also brought a first clean sheet in 10 outings.

January 6, 2018

Pardew had to wait over a month for his first win as manager and it came against League Two side Exeter in the FA Cup third round. Pardew picked a very strong team at St James' Park and first half goals from Salomon Rondon and Jay Rodriguez lifted some weight from his shoulders. The 2-0 victory was West Brom's first win in any competition since August.

January 13, 2018

Jonny Evans and Craig Dawson were on the scoresheet in a 2-0 home win against Brighton as Pardew got his first - and only - Premier League victory. It felt like momentum was beginning to build as Albion secured back-to-back victories for the first time since the opening month of the campaign.

January 27, 2018

Undoubtedly as good as it got during his time in charge, Pardew's team won 3-2 against Liverpool at Anfield in the FA Cup fourth round. Jurgen Klopp picked his strongest team for the tie and West Brom showed great character to fight back after falling behind early on to a Roberto Firmino goal. A Rodriguez double and a Joel Matip own goal had Albion in control at half-time and they held on to progress despite Mohamed Salah scoring with 12 minutes remaining. The win rounded off an impressive month for Pardew which had also seen his team draw at Everton in the Premier League.

February 15, 2018

Reports emerged that senior players Evans, Gareth Barry, Jake Livermore and Boaz Myhill had allegedly stolen a taxi during a night out on the club's warm weather training camp in Barcelona. The quartet later apologised via an official statement and Pardew admitted he felt "let down" and "angry" about the incident, which happened following three straight Premier League defeats. West Brom lost at home to Southampton in the FA Cup in their first game following the incident and went on to lose all their matches since.

March 31, 2018

A 2-1 home defeat to Burnley was a ninth straight loss in all competitions and a club record eighth successive defeat in the Premier League. It left West Brom bottom of the table and 10 points from safety.

Alan Pardew in numbers:

21 - games in charge of the club, in all competitions - 18 in the Premier League and three in the FA Cup.

1 - league win, 2-0 against Brighton in January. It is their only league win since August 19.

2 - Pardew's FA Cup wins with the club exceed his tally in the league after Albion saw off Exeter and, remarkably, Liverpool before losing to Southampton.

8 - points for West Brom in 18 league games under Pardew, compared to 12 from 14 before he took over.

4 - games taken for Albion to score their first goal under Pardew, Gareth Barry's 77th-minute strike in December's loss to Manchester United.

4 - Salomon Rondon finishes as West Brom's leading goalscorer in league games under Pardew. He and Jay Rodriguez have six apiece in all competitions.

50% - half of the team's points this season, 10, came in their first eight games - and seven, or over a third, in their first three.
