Huddersfield captain Jonathan Hogg has stressed that his side are in the play-off final on merit, even with Nottingham Forest favourites for promotion.
Hogg was quick to point out it was the Terriers who finished higher in the Championship table, two points above Steve Cooper’s side. The pair won one game apiece in their regular season meetings, while they also faced off in the FA Cup, Forest winning the tie. A fourth meeting of the season at Wembley on Sunday will be the most nail-biting of the lot.
Midfielder Hogg said: “We finished third, so on paper we’re the third-best team in the league. People talk about Forest this and Forest that, we finished above them, does that make us the better team? I don’t know.
