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 teamReading. Both of the two managers during the season,Steve Smith andMalcolm Macdonald failed miserably and Macdonald is regarded as one of the worst managers in Town's history.

Review

[edit]

The start of the season was at the time, the worst in Town's history. The team lost most of their early games andSteve Smith, a hero during his playing days atLeeds Road, was shown the door on 6 October, after the 2–0 defeat atBirmingham 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 championsMillwall.

However, a week later, Town recorded their biggest ever loss in their history, going down 10–1 againstManchester City atMaine 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 overPlymouth Argyle on 12 December, Town would only win 2 matches for the remaining 5 months of the season, they were a 1–0 win atBradford City and amazingly a 1–0 win against aManchester City side, who 4 months earlier beat them 10–1. They were officially relegated with four games remaining, after a 2–2 draw at home to near neighboursOldham Athletic, and Town ended up with only 28 points, finishing 14 points behindReading in 23rd place and a further 5 behind the safety zone of 21st placedWest Bromwich Albion. Macdonald was sacked just before the last game of the season againstSheffield United.Eoin Hand would replace Macdonald for the new season in theThird Division.
