What Huddersfield Town's next head coach can build on next season

Looking for positives in the 2025/26 campaign might feel like a fool's errand, but there are still some things for the next gaffer to work with

We covered the negatives in Huddersfield Town’s season exhaustively after the campaign came to an end.

But now we’ve had a bit of breathing space, we think it’s time to have a look at some of the things the Terriers did well over the 2025/26 season, even if most of them come with asterisks.

This gives the next head coach something to build on over the summer, with the aim of making next season’s positives feel less like damning with qualified praise.

Finishing chances

That had previously been a bugbear for Town for years and years on end — remember how wasteful they were in front of goal in their relegation season, in particular?

Town didn’t do much better in their first season in League One, either, with only five sides faring worse for shot conversion (just 7.7% of their shots found the net), and three of those five ended up relegated.

In the season just gone, Town were much better — the second-best in the division behind Lincoln, in fact, with a shot conversion rate of 9.4%.
