Huddersfield Town v Reading: Terriers called on to repeat Derby display
The German is still, relatively speaking, in the early stages of his Football League adventure, but is confident that Huddersfield Town’s overall progress since his arrival is pronounced with their performances, in the main, having been consistently strong.
In the view of many, Town’s haul of points since Wagner’s arrival as head coach has not matched what they have deserved with commendable performances, no points in the recent losses to Derby County and Ipswich Town being a case in point.

He said: “First of all, it has to be our first target to repeat the Derby performance, but to make a next step in the right direction.
“We have to be focused on the very important things: ourselves and our performance.
“We must make sure we bring our performance on the pitch, our identity and make everyone see we are investing everything to get the three points. If we do this, I’m confident we will show the right reaction at full-time.”
