HUDDERSFIE­LD Town manager Danny Cowley is under no illusions as to what his side needs to do differentl­y against Sheffield Wednesday if they are to stand any chance of getting a result tonight.

The Terriers were disappoint­ing in their 2-0 defeat to

HUDDERSFIE­LD Town boss Danny Cowley admits he does not want to avoid relegation at the cost off another club being deducted points.

Town face Sheffield

Wednesday at Hillsborou­gh tonight in a crucial game at the bottom end of the Championsh­ip table, with Wednesday one of two teams currently part of an EFL investigat­ion.

They are undergoing an investigat­ion for breaching the EFL’s profit and sustainabi­lity laws, while Wigan were handed a 12-point deduction after entering administra­tion, which the club have now appealed.

With both clubs still having cases undecided with only nine days of the season remaining, the potential for the relegation zone to be shaken up based on off-the-pitch issues is very likely.

“I believe that football should be decided on the pitch, on the paint between the grass, not in a boardroom or in a courtroom,” Cowley explained.

“The EFL, I think it has been hard for them, I genuinely do.

“I think we are in unpreceden­ted times.

“Do I think the British government have handled this well? No.

“Do I think the EFL have handled this situation well? No, and there is a lot of learning for them moving forward.

“I don’t want to be saved by the misfortune of another club that has to go into administra­tion or has to get deducted points from FFP.”
