- Town chief slams players
Huddersfield Town chairman Ken Davy claims the club's fans 'deserve more from their team' after a disappointing season at the Galpharm Stadium.
Terriers boss Andy Ritchie claimed the play-offs were out of reach after last weekend's home defeat to Southend United and Davy has offered a critical assessment of the players' efforts this season.
"Huddersfield supporters deserve more from their team than is currently being delivered, particularly on our home turf," he told the club's official website.
"They have a right to expect to see passion, determination and enthusiasm from their team and quite simply, this is not being delivered.
"Southend are a pretty good side, but during the first half of Saturday's match we made them look like Premiership material and, whilst we improved significantly in the second half, it was not enough to bring us the points.
"What is particularly disappointing is that we have some excellent players who take real pride in playing for this great club and we have achieved some terrific scalps this season, including the victory over Birmingham (in the FA Cup).
"All too often, however, we are failing to perform at our best and we need to put that right as soon as possible for the benefit of everyone who supports Huddersfield Town."
