Jan Siewert insisted he has not given up on Premier League survival after Huddersfield’s 1-0 home win against Wolves last night.
Steve Mounie struck in stoppage time to clinch the Terriers’ first win since November and their first points under Siewert, who lost his first four games in charge.
Huddersfield, cast adrift at the foot of the table after registering one point from their previous 14 matches, are now 11 points from safety with 10 games to play.
“I told you right from the beginning,” Siewert said. “I know that it won’t be easy, but we’ll keep on fighting. Let me calculate. Ten more games. There’s still a chance.”
The former Borussia Dortmund reserve-team coach made eight changes, handing Karlan Grant and Demeaco Duhaney their full league debuts, and Town responded with an energetic display that stifled Wolves.
“I’m so proud this evening, so proud to be part of the Huddersfield family and the players, the staff, everyone, they deserve it so much,” Siewert said.
“You couldn’t believe how much we have suffered these last few weeks, with the unlucky moments. But the fight comes first in the game and they really showed it today. I really enjoyed celebrating after the game.”
