The West Yorkshire side arrive in Nottingham on the back of three successive league defeats but the atmosphere at the club looks to have lifted as the players get used to the working methods of head coach David Wagner.
He was the surprise choice to replace Chris Powell earlier in the season, the German having been part of the coaching set-up at Borussia Dortmund.
On-loan defender James Husband told the official HTAFC website this week: "What we are doing here is a lot different to the norm. The later and longer schedule here affects everything; you eat at different times, for example. It does affect you and you have to get used to it.
"This is the Head Coach’s way – and you can see it is working."
