In the 1997–98 season, Norwich had a season of two halves where they had a satisfying first season in which the Canaries were lying in 12th place and 9 points adrift from the playoffs but from the end of January, Norwich went on a poor run of 14 games without a win with only 7 points picked up during that spell and also resulted in Walker resigning at the end of April and ended up finishing in a disappointing 15th place.
