Huddersfield Town had a dreamed start of the season in The Championship. The Terriers recorded 7 victories in their first 10 games of the campaign. They only lost twice and finished with a draw once. But, what is more impressive – The Terriers won their matches against maybe the strongest teams in the division. They beat Newcastle at St. James’ Park (2-1), Barnsley (2-1), Wolverhampton (1-0), Leeds United (1-0) and Queens Park Rangers (2-1). Moreover, Huddersfield Town recorded a draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
But, don’t be surprised of Huddersfield Town’s performance in The Championship! The Terriers have very talented head coach – David Wagner, who is the former coach of Borussia Dortmund II. As a player, Wagner has been in the squads of Eintracht Frankfurt, Mainz 05 and Schalke 04. So, logically, the coach has brought in the Huddersfield Town’s squad lots of quality German players. Actually, the manager brought 13 new players from all over the world this summer!
Wagner has signed 3 former Borussia Dortmund players (Jon Stankovic, Ivan Paurevic and Chris Lowe). There are 3 more German players in the Terriers’ squad. But, it is obvious that David Wagner has done a great job, because all the players work for the team and put the club above their individuality!
So, after 10 rounds Huddersfield Town are lying in the first place with 22 points, which is really impressive for a team, which has finished in 19th place last season!
But, Huddersfield Town have a great history in the English football. The club has won the first tier of England on 3 occasions (3 consecutive seasons – between 1924 and 1926)! They have become the runners-up 3 more times. The team has also won The FA Cup in 1922 and The FA Charity Shield in the same year. So, I think we will soon see the name of Huddersfield Town among the best teams in England again!
