Huddersfield boss sends 'no limits' message after going above Nottingham Forest in Championship

Huddersfield Town head coach Carlos Corberan has reiterated that they are targeting as high a finish in the Championship table as they can after moving ahead of Nottingham Forest again on Monday night.

A looping finish from Jon Russell just before the hour mark and a second from the head of Naby Sarr on the stroke of added-time gave the hosts a 2-0 win over play-off rivals Luton Town. As a result, the Terriers move two points ahead of Forest again up to third in the Championship table.

The Reds still have two matches in hand over the side from West Yorkshire, though. Steve Cooper 's side will face Bournemouth and Fulham in back-to-back midweeks across the end of this month and the start of the next.

It is Huddersfield that currently have the points on the board and Corberan is keen not to limit their ambitions this season. “Our target is to finish as high as we can and I won’t put a limit on that because we want to give ourselves and our fans the highest level of satisfaction we can,” the Terriers boss said after beating Luton.

On the match itself, Corberan was honest that it could have gone either way. “It was a very, very equal game but our defence was strong and competitive until the end and the small details went in our favour," Corberan added. "At any moment, Luton could have been better than us but the key moments were the goal from Russell, the penalty miss and Sarr’s goal.”

Luton are next up for Forest on Good Friday and Nathan Jones' side nursing, in the boss' own words, “catastrophic” injury problems ahead of the clash. Those issues could have been even worse had defender Kal Naismith seen red for a shove that sparked a melee between both sets of players.
