Huddersfield Town head coach Martin Drury has outlined his philosophy of focusing on performance over results as the club sits second in League One. The Yorkshire Post reported his comments this week, alongside news from the club itself that chairman Kevin Nagle is again inviting fans to afternoon tea.
Martin Drury told the Yorkshire Post that becoming fixated on match outcomes is a dangerous path. He stressed that his mentality does not change based on a win, loss, or draw. For him, every day is about reviewing what the team did well, what it didn't, and how to improve.
"I think it's very, very dangerous," Drury said about shifting focus based on results. "Every day for me, if we've won, lost or drawn, it's 'what did we do well? What didn't we do well?" He added that he is likely to be the same level of intensity regardless of the weekend's result. This approach comes with Town on four points from two games, just two points behind leaders Bradford City.
Huddersfield Town FC has announced the return of 'Teatime with the Chairman' for the 2026/27 campaign. Supporters can apply for a chance to have afternoon tea with Kevin Nagle in the boardroom at the Accu Stadium. Events will be held across the season, offering an informal setting for open dialogue.
Interested fans must complete a single survey on the club's website to be added to a standby list for the entire season. Attendees will be chosen at random and contacted with details. The club notes that the event has been a feature throughout Nagle's tenure, designed to engage supporters directly on club matters.
Huddersfield Town have made a solid start to the new League One season. They currently occupy second place in the table with four points from their opening two matches. Their record shows one win and one draw, with a positive goal difference of three after scoring four times and conceding just once.
This early form puts them firmly in the promotion conversation, though Drury is keen to avoid external hype. With Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City also in the division, the Terriers are somewhat under the radar compared to last season. Fans can track the evolving standings as the campaign progresses.
The immediate focus is Saturday's trip to face Cambridge United. Drury's process-oriented mindset will be tested as Town look to maintain their strong start and close the two-point gap to the top. The team's defensive solidity, conceding only once so far, provides a good foundation.
Off the pitch, the reopening of the chairman's tea events reinforces the club's commitment to fan engagement. Supporters now have a direct channel to share feedback throughout what could be a pivotal season.
