It is fair to say, after five months, that Carlos and his team have shown everything we were looking for \u2013 and more.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cCarlos and our coaches have brought a clear identity back to our play, win or lose; that was the top priority. We wanted a return to the \u2018no limits\u2019 mentality we had back in 2016, where we show belief in our players and staff, and we can see that too.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cCarlos is completely aligned with how this Club operates, and as such has shown a real faith in our young players too. We head into the New Year with over 15% of our First Team minutes coming from Academy graduates, which is a real testament to that commitment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Corber\u00e1n added: \u201cI\u2019m really pleased to be at Huddersfield Town and to work with the people here every day. That starts with the Chairman, the Head of Football Operations Leigh Bromby and everyone else. The high level of commitment that everyone here shows makes my job easier.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cFrom the moment I arrived here, I felt like a Terrier. That\u2019s because I share the same values as the Club.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe have a really good project here, and this commitment allows us to plan as well as possible in terms of the development of our players and our style.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Promotion Push for Huddersfield?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Huddersfield are unbeaten in two and are fresh off the back of a 2-0 win over <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/watford\/\" target=\"_self\">Watford<\/a>.
