Terriers need everyone 'in it together'- Evans

Huddersfield Town midfielder Antony Evans has called for fans' unity as the team push for promotion from League One.

The Terriers were subjected to boos and jeers at both half-time and full-time last weekend as they secured a narrow 1-0 home win over Rotherham United.

They are sixth in the table, just one point inside the play-off places with 10 games left.

Asked for a message to supporters, Evans told BBC Leeds: "Keep supporting us.

"They come and pay their hard earned money to watch good football. That's what we're going to try and produce for them. And as long as we're all in it together, it'll give us the best chance of success this season."

He continued: "Obviously we'd like a nicer response from the fans, we'd like everyone to be getting on in the stadium.

"We realise that's not always the case when they don't see what they want to see. That's part of the job as well. We've just got to get on with it and put on better performances".

Huddersfield chairman Kevin Nagle took to social media this week, urging the supporters to get fully behind the team for their final 10 matches.

The Terriers have scored six goals in their past six league matches, winning just two of them, and Evans admitted it was up to the team to do more.

He said: "We probably do need to take more risks, and get back to scoring as many goals as possible, maybe not worrying about every aspect of the game and playing with a bit more freedom in ourselves.

"Everyone within the team wants to play amazing football, of course we do, but at the end of the day if we go on and win 10 out of 10 by one goal to nil, ugly, own goals, I think everyone come the final day of the season will be over the moon.

"We're a team desperate to win, a team striving to get promoted this season. I think we all know its within touching distance, that its there for us to go and achieve."

Huddersfield's next challenge is a trip to bottom of the table Port Vale on Saturday.

They thrashed Vale 5-0 on Boxing Day, but saw them beat Sunderland to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals last weekend.

"I think they're obviously fighting for their lives to stay in the division", Evans added.

"I imagine we'll be going into that game as favourites, and we need to stay as professional as possible to go and get the job done."
