1928–29 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season
Huddersfield Town's 1928-29 campaign was a season that saw Town fall from grace, finishing down in 16th place, a far cry from their top 2 finishes in the past 5 seasons. They did manage to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but it didn't stop Jack Chaplin losing his job at the end of the season.

Review
The Terriers seemed to be on top of the world during the last 5 seasons of league football. After winning the title for 3 seasons in a row and finishing 2nd the next 2 seasons, some were wondering what would happen during this season. Unfortunately, they should not have asked. The only good points of the season came from 3 of the 14 league wins, 6-1 victories over Yorkshire rivals Leeds United and Sheffield United and a 7-1 win over Pennine rivals Burnley. They also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, before losing to Bolton Wanderers at Anfield.

gollark: The trouble is that you probably also need people to do, well, thinky stuff, which slaves can't really manage. If you want your slaves to be able to give you nice things like cars and smartphones.
gollark: Although if you want to maintain good current quality of life for *you* via slavery you'll need most of this infrastructure anyway.
gollark: Since nowhere has ALL the stuff you need you need a ton of transportation.
gollark: But then you have to locate factories in places with the right minerals.
gollark: 2% or 0.5% efficiency or something, but they conveniently store to chemical energy
