Marcus Use has highlighted the positive mood inside Huddersfield Town's squad following their 1-1 draw with Notts County this week. The versatile playmaker opened the scoring before Ollie Cooper's equaliser, a result that preserved the Terriers' unbeaten start to the League One campaign.
Martin Paterson's side are now second in the table, just one point behind leaders Sheffield Wednesday. They have taken 11 points from their opening five matches, with a record of three wins and two draws. Their recent form reads DWWDW, and they have scored 10 goals while conceding just four.

Speaking after the match, Use acknowledged the frustration at not securing all three points but emphasised the underlying confidence. "we are feeling quite positive, underneath the frustration in there," the 30-year-old told reporters. He pointed to the volume of chances created as a sign of progress under the manager's system. Use, who joined from Ipswich Town last summer, believes the team's culture is building in the right direction.
