MILLER: “WE’RE THERE TO BE SHOT AT”

Tommy Miller insists that Huddersfield Town’s amazing unbeaten run has made them one of the big scalps in League One this year.

Town are currently on a sensational 34-game unbeaten league run (at the time of print), stretching all the way back to December 2010.

Midfielder Miller, who joined the Terriers from Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday in the summer, says that the further the run stretches, the more Lee Clark’s men become targets.

He said: “It’s remarkable (the unbeaten run). But we’re there to be shot at, and obviously a lot of clubs want to be the first ones to end the run.

“The lads did ever so well last season and should have been promoted really. The play-offs are a lottery and they failed them, but league-wise, it’s a run that they’ve continued this season and all credit to them and also the new lads who have come in and helped along the way.

“There’s great belief in the lads and the whole squad throughout, so we’ve just got to keep that going now.”

Whilst speaking at Town’s Galpharm Stadium, Miller also revealed that he shunned other teams, including one higher division club, in order to rubber-stamp a move to Town and he cites the team’s playing style as the catalyst:

“It’s a fantastic club and everything’s set up here. They play football the way that I like to play and the manager’s ideas all added up so it was all perfect and I was delighted to come.

“I also know a couple of the coaches: Steve Watson from Sheffield Wednesday and Paul Stephenson who I played with at Hartlepool back in the day.”

Miller also revealed that a new deal was initially promised at Wednesday, before a surprise change of heart paved the way for a move to West Yorkshire. The former Sunderland and Ipswich man concedes he was disappointed not to be kept on the books at Hillsborough, but believes the future is bright for both himself and Town.

He added: “I’m enjoying it here and hopefully we can be up there come the end of the season. It’s a big squad and I’ve got to bide my time but at the moment I feel fit, injury-free and hopefully this season I can kick on, stay in the team and get a few goals aswell maybe.
