After such a fine start to life in the Championship last term, Huddersfield will no doubt be extremely frustrated by the fact they only stayed up by the skin of their teeth. But the gamble to remove Simon Grayson paid off in the end with Mark Robins doing enough to steer the Terriers to safety. Robins appears to have brought in plenty of attacking talent over the summer. His capture of James Vaughan on a permanent deal will please the fans as he became a firm favourite last term. The arrivals of Martin Paterson and Jon Stead add further in the way of attacking options for Robins and that area was not always a strong point last term with the Terriers often running out of ideas. Adam Hammill is another interesting signing after he had a loan spell at the John Smith's Stadium last term. There is plenty of reason to believe that Robins has developed a good enough squad to more than ensure that Huddersfield can remain in the Championship again.

Target


Mid-table will be the aim but certainly Huddersfield will feel they can stay up once again.
