JON WORTHINGTON insists Huddersfield Town will not be throwing in the towel regarding their League One play-off hopes – despite suffering a blow in the home loss to Wycombe.
Since beating the Chairboys in the reverse fixture in Buckinghamshire in early January – when they harboured very real top-two ambitions – Town’s form has nosedived badly and they find themselves four points adrift of sixth-placed Reading with five games to play.
Interim boss Worthington, whose eighth-placed side visit lowly Burton this weekend, said: “The games and points are running out, but we will keep fighting until the end.
“There’s no doubting that and that won’t change and we will go and attack the game on Saturday.
“I have seen a lot of positives in the (Wycombe) game and from players. I know the group and am starting to understand the group a lot more and there’s good characters in there and they will push right to the end.
“I don’t think you enjoy losing games, but I am enjoying the process of it (management) and challenge. But you cannot enjoy it if you are losing.”
Town failed to find the net for the seventh time in nine matches on home soil in 2025 and much of the drop off in form – six wins in their last 20 games regardless of venue – has been down to a lack of attacking potency.
Worthington, whose side’s best chances fell to midfielder Ben Wiles, added: “We could have been a little bit quicker going forward.
“But going direct in those moments would have made it really difficult to get those opportunities. We have not the profile to do that and have got to work the areas.”
