Fraizer Campbell sends message to Huddersfield Town doubters ahead of play-off campaign

Huddersfield Town are potentially 270 minutes away from a return to the Premier League – and it’s fair to say that it’s perhaps against all odds that they made it to the Championship play-offs this season.

The Terriers struggled in Carlos Corberan’s first season as head coach, narrowly avoiding the drop to League One by six points and that meant they were one of the favourites to go down for the 2021-22 campaign.

Having genuinely contended for automatic promotion for a small part of the season, Huddersfield will go into their two-legged semi-final with Luton Town full of confidence.

One Huddersfield player who has been keen to stick it to the pre-season doubters is the experienced Fraizer Campbell, who picked up on one publication’s prediction of the Terriers to be relegated in particular and has told the doubters to keep on playing the Yorkshire outfit down.

It would be one of the more
