It can be a lonely feeling

- By STEPHEN PAGE

HUDDERSFIELD Town boss Lee Grant has described this evening's EFL Trophy clash against Mansfield Town as “massive” as his side look to rebuild some momentum into their season.

The Terriers head into tonight's fixture off the back of a five-game losing streak in all competitions, the latest defeat seeing them knocked out of the FA Cup at Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.

Town have an opportunity to begin moving back in the right direction when they face a team who sit eighth in League One, one place above the Terriers, with Grant’s side knowing that a win at the Accu Stadium this evening will see them through to the knockout stages of the competition.
