Huddersfield Town equal 102-year old record with unbeaten run and have more in their sights

Huddersfield Town extended their Championship unbeaten run to fourteen games (sixteen now overall) with a stunning late win over Cardiff on Wednesday night.

The Terriers' form now sees them unbeaten since a league defeat to Middlesbrough in November. Seven wins and seven draws have seen them rise from eleventh to fourth and they are now firmly in the Play-Off picture as the season enters its final lap.

They have also now equalled one of their club records, one that has been in place for 102 years, as this is now the longest unbeaten run in the English second tier for the Terriers since the 1919/20 season.

That year Town eventually finished second and earned promotion to the First Division for the first time in their history. The Terriers were in fact only beaten once in their last 25 games, a 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur who went on to win the league.

In that last fourteen game streak they faced and beat some familiar names – Hull City, Barnsley, Stoke, and Nottingham Forest. Their goal machine was Sheffield-born Sammy Taylor who scored 41 times for the Terriers.

Town have beaten Hull already this season but drawn with Barnsley and Stoke, plus defeated Forest in their current run. Next up for the Terriers is a trip to Birmingham on Saturday where they will be desperate to keep the pressure up on those around them with another positive result.

The three points against Cardiff also took them to 56 overall, now three better off than their average over the last ten seasons. Whilst 2016/17’s promotion total of 81 might prove a little beyond them they are on course to beat 2012/13’s 58 by some way, their second-best in that time.

One huge difference to the Terriers' stats this season has been the goals conceded. Their
