Huddersfield Town boss Michael Duff wants his players to be 'at it' and is wary that Reading could hurt them tomorrow.
The Terriers, occupying a play-off space, have lost three League One matches in a row and are only four points ahead of the Royals heading into the clash at the John Smith's Stadium.
Back in September, Reading overturned a deficit to defeat Duff's side 2-1 at the SCL Stadium, so a potential league double is on the cards in Yorkshire.
Speaking ahead of the visit of Noel Hunt's Royals, Duff spoke of controlling his own side's output, but acknowledged the quality of the Berkshire boys making the journey.
"They’re really young and energetic so if you don’t show levels of energy, you’ll get beat," he told the press. "They have some quality and they’re sniffing around the play-offs so they will be thinking that they can come here, beat us and be right on our coattails. The change of manager hasn’t changed much. I know Noel quite well. They have carried on their good momentum.
"They have lost Sam Smith. We will have to see if that hurts them or not, but he is a good player. They have a set way of playing, have good energy and quality so a lot of it is on us. We are at home and have to react off last week.
If we think that we’re at home and we will just win, we’ve been burnt by that a couple of times. They are a good team who will hurt us if we’re not at it."
