We have not lost to Huddersfield in our last 13 attempts, our best run of results against the Terriers in our history, winning 9 and drawing 4. The 4 draws were all 0-0, so every time we've scored against them since August 2011, we've won. Huddersfield have scored 1 goal in their last 5 games against us.Originally Posted by Michael Morris
Our worst run against Huddersfield occurred under the management of Jimmy Scoular, drawing 4 and losing 9 in what was surely his bogey side, though we did beat them 4-1 in his last game against Huddersfield as our manager.
We've won 7 out of our last 8 games at home to them and 19 in total, drawing 12 and losing 8 in all competitions.
In 1923/24, Huddersfield pipped Cardiff to the league title on goal average in one of the closest title races of all time. Had goal difference applied, Cardiff would have won it. Had there been 3 points for a win, Huddersfield would have won it by a point. Huddersfield would win 2 more titles in succession and then finish second twice, cementing their position as one of the teams of the 20s. We would finish 11th, 16th and 14th after that season (14th was our cup final season) and would be relegated 2 years after winning the cup. 4 years after winning the cup we were relegated again to Division 3 south and would finish bottom of the league 3 years later in a dreadful collapse. Meanwhile, Huddersfield would finish 2nd in the first division that season.
Cardiff City finishing above Huddersfield in the table has been traditionally a rare event. We managed a run of 11 successive seasons from 1972-83. In 2001/02 we both finished in the playoffs, with an Andy Booth dive resulted in a 2-2 comeback draw that ultimately cost us a second successive automatic promotion. Including that season, we've finished above Huddersfield in 16 out of the last 18 seasons, so the 2000s have been our most successful era against them ever.
