'I'm sure the goals will come' - Harness

Huddersfield Town midfielder Marcus Harness was pleased to have scored his first goal for the club in the 6-2 EFL Trophy win over Newcastle United U21.

"It's something that's been playing on my mind a little bit and it still feels cheap scoring a penalty but I'm sure the goals will come," he told BBC Radio Leeds.

Harness, 29, has made an appearance in all but one game in all competitions for Town so far this season, and as an attacking midfielder, he is looking to have more goal contributions as he eases into the season.

"Of course, goals and assists in the position that I play in are kind of an easy one that [fans] can see. I'm always trying to contribute in that way."

He said he also has other roles to play in the squad apart from his attacking output.

"Me and four other lads have been nominated for the leadership group. I think I can help the boys with the experiences I've got.

"I need to be one of the lads to try and put the ball in the goal, but all the successful teams that I've been a part of in my career have been group focused."

Next up for the Terriers is the visit of bottom-of-the-table Peterborough United on 6 September (15:00 BST). Harness echoed the sentiment from his manager [Lee Grant] that despite Posh's winless start, there should be no complacency against an opponent craving a win.

"We have to respect them and respect their qualities and why they can be dangerous to us because they will be," Harness said.

"It takes the pressure off and it's almost a free hit. The game is maybe [something] that they can use at this time to give them some sort of boost, so we need to try and limit the momentum for them in the game."
