“Huddersfield”
The team is a three-time national champion and the winner of its cup and Super Cup. But that was all in the 1920s. By the centenary of that golden stretch, the Terriers reminded themselves, under the leadership of David Wagner, breaking through to the APL and remaining there for a second year. But then there were setbacks, and now, from the penultimate place in the Championship, the club went to the third division of the country.
Working with them in League 1 is Michael Duff, a fairly well-known former defender, but a novice and not yet a particularly successful coach. But so far he's more likely to succeed than not: he started with a series of wins in both the League Cup, where he passed Morkem, and in the championship. But then there was a cup 2-3 with Walsall and a 1-2 defeat in the Championship to Rotherham.
“Blackpool”
The club took its only serious trophy, the FA Cup, in 1953. In 2010, it turned out to be the last, so far, for the last time to seriously prove themselves, climbing through the knockout rounds in the Premier League. However, there they immediately fell out - and now in the third division of England. And there last season they finished even in eighth position.
Now “orange” only in the League Cup defeated, and defeated, “Burton”. In the next round, on the field of “Blackburn”, again won, albeit minimally, 2-1. But in the championship for a draw only at the third attempt: gave 4-4 with Cambridge after defeats to “Crawley” and “Stockport”. Already at the end of the summer there was a new draw with Wycombe, albeit less spectacular, 2-2
