Sky Bet Championship: 5 talking points from Matchday 8

Newcastle United
Newcastle’s 5 game winning streak was finally broken

Terriers back to winning ways

Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield Town fans ecstatic as their team retains their top spot in the league

The Huddersfield Town fans will rightly be celebrating again in West Yorkshire after a dominant performance against Queens Park Rangers. The Terriers came out 2-1 winners, a result that maintains their top position in the Sky Bet Championship by 2 points.

Town had to show their resilience in the latter stages of the game after finding themselves 2-0 up after an hour, with goals from Kasey Palmer and Elias Kachunga. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s QPR managed to get a goal back through Idrissa Sylla to ensure a tense finish, however, it was Huddersfield who held on for a deserved victory.

David Wagner was quick to praise the team’s response after their midweek loss: "It was a great reaction by the group after Brighton. Our one target was to bounce back with the right result.

“This was a huge, massive result for us with a performance that was brilliant, fantastic, great. I don't have enough vocabulary to describe it. I cannot say how happy I am."

Town now have a trip to playoff hopeful’s Reading next in the League, followed by welcoming strugglers Rotherham to the John Smith’s stadium for a Yorkshire Derby. They will hope that the loss during last week, was just a blip and they can continue their winning run.
