Huddersfield Town hero makes 'expectations' claim ahead of Nottingham Forest play-off final

Former Huddersfield Town captain Tommy Smith says "expectations have changed" at the Yorkshire club ahead of Sunday's Championship play-off final.

Forest take on the Terriers at Wembley Stadium on Sunday (May 29) with a place in the Premier League up for grabs for the victors. Huddersfield Town were in the Premier League as recently as 2019 and have tasted play-off success at Wembley once before after beating Reading on penalties back in 2016/17.

Smith was part of the side that won promotion to the top-flight five years ago but has since become a free agent following his release by Stoke City. The now-30-year-old featured against his old side in a 2-1 win at the bet365 Stadium back in September and is not surprised at all to see his former employers within 90 minutes of a return to the Premier League.
