Last season, Huddersfield Town FC finished 19th in the Championship on a total of 51 points. This season, having spent a judicious £3.8m or so on players and brought in a very shrewdly-assembled augment of free transfers and loans, they are likely to finish a close third behind Newcastle United FC. Whilst their manager was well-regarded, this was not generally expected. Tomorrow, as I sit in my seat in Ellerslie and cheer on this season's underachievers, I'll be wondering when next we'll get lucky and press the right buttons. Warnock's the closest we've come to getting it right in the past ten years, but hope springs eternal. COME ON YOU R'S>>>>> | |
