Huddersfield Daily Examiner 43,249 31 October 1994 12 0962-1644 Neil Warnock became the Town boss following Ian Ross' resignation. Town finished in 11th place, but a good run in the League Trophy saw Town reach a final at Wembley final for the first time since the 1938 FA Cup Final. Town did lose 3–1 on penalties to Swansea City. Squad at the start of the season -- England GK Kevin Blackwell -- England GK Steve Francis -- England DF Jon Dyson -- England DF Peter Jackson -- England DF Graham Mitchell -- England DF Simon Trevitt -- England MF Gary Barnett -- England MF Chris Billy -- England MF Chris Marsden -- England MF Phil Robinson -- England MF Mark Wells -- England FW Andy Booth -- England FW Iain Dunn -- Scotland FW Iffy Onuora -- Wales FW Iwan Roberts -- England FW Phil Starbuck Review Neil Warnock's first game in charge saw Town lose 3–0 at home against Reading, which was the start of a particularly bad opening spell of the season, which saw only one win in the first 8 games. After that period was a second round League Cup match against Premier League side Arsenal. They lost the first leg 5–0 at Leeds Road, but amazingly they drew 1–1 at Highbury Stadium to lose 6–1 on aggregate. The mid season didn't give much more joy, but a run in the League Trophy saw Town reach the area final for a two-legged play-off against Carlisle United. They won the first leg 4–1 at Leeds Road, but despite losing 2–0 at Brunton Park, they won 4–3 on aggregate to set up a final at Wembley against Swansea City. This was Town's first match at Wembley since the 1938 FA Cup Final, when they lost to Preston North End. The match was a 1–1 draw, but Town then lost 3–1 on a penalty shoot-out. Following the defeat to promotion chasing Port Vale on 15 March, many were even wondering if Town were staying in Division 2. But that turned out to be Town's last league defeat of the season as Town won 8 of their last 12 games, so Town finished in a respectable 11th place.
