REASONS TO BE POSITIVE
Wagner has an aura that implies Huddersfield will do more than just grind out victories. Activity in the market shows ambition beyond just trying to keep their heads above water.
REASONS TO BE PESSIMISTIC
On paper, the weakest squad in the division and the Terriers were the 14th-highest scorers in the Championship last season, with 22 of their 25 games coming via a solitary goal margin.
ONE TO WATCH
Kasey Palmer. On-loan Chelsea midfielder was a real asset last season and can continue to develop.
Kasey Palmer
EXPECTATION
Huddersfield fans will be along for the ride, hoping to pick up the odd major scalp along the way. Wagner will be demanding survival and his team to forge a real identity.
REALITY
New forward players need to click fast for them to have any chance although there are a lot of average-to-poor teams in the league which gives them a chance.
