Albion have collected just two points from seven Premier League matches in 2019 and have slipped to 16th and only two points above the relegation zone.

Huddersfield, who are bottom having won just three league games this season, travel to the Amex tomorrow and Hughton said: "Our responsibility is to go game to game and to assess and try to make the changes that you need to change your fortunes.

"I think I would be more concerned if we weren't creating chances or if we weren't in the game or if our level of performance was poor.

"It's a difficult period we are going through. We accept that and we also know the only way to get out of it is by getting results and sometimes that might be the type of game we had midweek where them margins for us as opposed to going against us."

Asked if he has been tempted to change things, Hughton said: "We're always changing, you change personnel, you change systems. I think it's normal and that's not just about not doing so well.

"In periods where we might have done well, you still look to freshen things up and change things.

"It's a normal period of time you go through and any adjustments you make. What is vitally important is we realise where we are and nobody here is panicking.

"What will get us through this situation is to do what we do best. That's what got us into this division, that's what kept us in this division and it's only this group of lads which will do that."
