ANDRE Breitenreiter is resigned to Huddersfield playing in League One next season after his struggling team drew at home to fellow bottom three side Birmingham City at the John Smith’s Stadium.
The Terriers head coach saw his players held by the visitors when both sides knew victory would have boosted their hopes of surviving the drop from the Championship.
Huddersfield need to win at Ipswich on the final day, with Plymouth losing at home to Hull, and also need to claw back a 15-goal deficit on the Pilgrims in order to climb out of the bottom three.
The German admitted: “It’s difficult to win with 15 goals next week and we didn’t really do it today. The players played with heart, with passion, with willingness. The standard from today must be the standard in every game.
“Many games we played well, and when we worked hard as a team we collected points
“We didn’t get relegated today, the second half was a really good performance. Once again we created lots of chances today.
