Huddersfield's 2023-24 season has had a difficult start as they have been unable to secure a victory in their first five matches of the Championship and EFL Cup. In their most recent game, they were outperformed by Norwich City, losing 4-0 at their home ground, John Smith's Stadium. Josh Sargent, Ashley Barnes, Jon Rowe, and Adam Idah were all able to score against Neil Warnock's team. As a result, the experienced manager is looking for ways to motivate his team ahead of their upcoming match at The Hawthorns. Huddersfield's only point so far in the second tier of the season came during an away game against Middlesbrough on August 19, where they managed to secure a draw at the Riverside Stadium.
