Source-derived summary

Review

With 3 years gone since Town's relegation from Division 2, some Town fans were beginning to wonder if Eoin Hand was going to get them promoted. Phil Starbuck was brought in from Nottingham Forest and he helped bring in the goals along with Iffy Onuora and Iwan Roberts. Town made a fairly good start to the season, with only one loss in their first 9 games. Form was intermittent with losses and wins more often than not. They were still hunting for an automatic promotion or a play-off place.

After Christmas, Town's form gradually got worse, with a run of only 2 wins in 12, which saw Eoin Hand given the sack on 6 March.

Why this record matters

“1991–92 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Huddersfield, Town and season provides the most credible route into that argument.
