Huddersfield Town head coach Martin Drury has praised his squad's exceptional work rate as the unbeaten Terriers prepare for their first-ever competitive meeting with Bromley. The team's strong mentality has been central to a start that sees them sitting second in League One with 12 points from six games.
Drury highlighted the physical output from his players, which he believes surpasses last season's levels. "They're big, big numbers that the players are hitting, and that's because of their mentalities, culture, togetherness and humility to keep going and the grit and determination they've shown," he said. The coach added that he has seen full commitment from every player in every match so far, building massive belief within the group for future success.
That belief is backed by results. Huddersfield remain undefeated in the league, having taken five points from a possible nine on their travels. Their away fixtures have included trips to newly-promoted sides MK Dons and Cambridge United, as well as a tough 0-0 draw at Mansfield Town, who had previously thrashed Luton Town 5-2 at home.
Drury also issued a warning that maintaining this consistency will require effort from every single staff member and player. The challenge continues this week with a trip to face Bromley, who are hosting their first fancied opponent at home since their own promotion to the third tier. The Ravens currently sit 22nd in the table, making this a fixture Huddersfield will be expected to handle successfully.
With top scorer J. Taylor netting five times already this season, the Terriers possess the firepower to complement their defensive solidity, which has seen them concede just four goals. The squad's full details and statistics are available on our squad page. Huddersfield Town's next assignment is away to Bromley on Saturday, 19 September.
