Ternent: Past results mean nothing

Huddersfield boss Stan Ternent has dismissed his side's recent friendly win over Carling Cup opponents Sheffield United as irrelevant.

The Terriers' reward for dismantling local rivals Bradford 4-0 is a home draw again and another Yorkshire derby in the second round against Kevin Blackwell's Blades, who the Terriers beat 2-1 earlier this month.

Ternent said: "It's another derby match for us, there should be a decent crowd and a good atmosphere and it's one for the fans to enjoy.

"The pre-season friendly result counts for nothing - the game was just about fitness for both sides - so this is a good competitive fixture to look forward to.

"We've got home advantage, but I think we're the underdogs because they've got a strong squad, one which has been together a lot longer than ours, and they are among the favourites to go up to the Premier League."

The second-round tie will be played during week commencing August 25.
