Huddersfield Town F.C. season 1987-88
Encyclopedia
Huddersfield Town's 1987-88 campaign is statistically Town's worst ever season in their league history. Town won only 6 league games all season, had their heaviest ever defeat in their history, conceded 100 league goals in the season and finished 19 points adrift of safety and even 14 points behind 2nd-bottom team Reading
. Both of the two managers during the season, Steve Smith
and Malcolm Macdonald
both failed miserably and are regarded as the two worst managers in Town's history.
, a hero during his playing days at Leeds Road
, was shown the door on October 6, after the 2-0 defeat at Birmingham City
. Malcolm Macdonald
replaced Smith a week later, but it wasn't until the end of the month that Town registered their first win, a 2-1 victory at the end-of-season champions Millwall
.
However, a week later, Town recorded their biggest ever loss in their history, going down 10-1 against Manchester City
at Maine Road
. After that embarrassment, Town recovered slightly going on a run of only 1 defeat in 6 matches. However, this proved to be nothing more than a false dawn and Town's chances of survival would shortly become non-existent.
Following their 2-1 win over Plymouth Argyle
on December 12, Town would only win 2 matches for the remaining 5 months of the season, they were a 1-0 win at Bradford City
and amazingly a 1-0 win against a Manchester City
side, who 4 months earlier beat them 10-1. Town finished up with only 28 points, finishing 14 points behind Reading
in 23rd place and a further 5 behind the safety zone of 21st placed West Bromwich Albion
. Macdonald was sacked just before the last game of the season against Sheffield United
. Eoin Hand
would replace Macdonald for the new season in the Third Division
