Huddersfield 2026/27 League One Preview
Huddersfield Town have quietly become one of the harder sides in League One to break down. Six points from a possible nine on the road and only six goals conceded in seven games have carried Martin Drury’s side to sixth, with a 3-0 opening win over AFC Wimbledon and a 3-1 defeat of Oxford the highlights.
Joe Taylor has been the difference in the final third with five goals, supported by Derensili Sanches Fernandes, who has created 17 chances and taken 14 corners from the other inside-forward position. Behind them Ryan Ledson and Cameron Humphreys screen a back three, and Matt Young has two clean sheets.
Ninth and 67 points last season was not good enough for a club of Huddersfield’s recent standing, and the squad has been reshaped accordingly. The goals are spread a little thin beyond Taylor, but a side conceding at under a goal a game will stay in the promotion conversation for a long while yet.
