Although manager Peter Jackson is looking to bring in a number of players for next season, one of them will not be former idealised strikers Marcus Stewart who is on the look out for a new club since his release from Sunderland.

Jackson has said that he could not afford the financial package that someone like Stewart would demand. Jackson spoke glowingly of Stewart both as a person and a footballer.

For Town although the heart would have said bring back Stewart, the head and the finances dictate that a move to bring back Stewy would not be the best idea. It would be unfair to give one player such a wage when the Terriers are working with such a tight and strict wage budget.

Town need to be successfully on building the success off the field as well as on the pitch. Under Jackson the club are going in the right direction on the pitch and under the guidance of Ken Davy the club are building the correct foundations off it.

With time running out on the player of the season poll, thisisthebarmyarmy.co.uk is sending a final appeal to all supporters to cast your vote before it is too late!

Striker Pawel Abbott is still in the lead, but in second place is now defender David Mirfin, with Andy Booth pushed into third place. The fourth place is still occupied by midfielder Chris Brandon.

Just one week left to ensure that your favourite Town player is crowned
"thisisthebarmyarmy.co.uk Player of the Season 2004/2005"

Also to be announced on this day will be this website's player of the season and also our young player of the season

We wish him well

Stewart who has hero status amongst Town fans who proclaim him as "There's only one Marcus Stewart", could possibly be fancied for a return to the club, should his wages not pose a problem to the Town board and should manager Peter Jackson want him.

Danny Adams will be in the short term the player to fill the boots of vacating left-back Rob Edwards.

Adams who joined on a short term contract recently following his shock release by League One bottom club Stockport County has signed a one year contract with Town.

The play-off dream is over for the season as Brentford booked their place in them with a 2-1 victory at Wrexham, which sent the North Wales club down.

The Terriers needed Wrexham to at worst draw against Brentford to maintain Town's slender hopes of an inclusion but a 90th minute Bee's winner ended the Terriers hopes.

Despite this set-back Town remained focused for the last match of the season at Wrexham on Saturday and Peter Jackson remains positive and full of belief when he beams of the positives this season and his defiant "We'll be back".

The Terriers certainly will be back next season with a much wiser young squad than this season and a squad that is showing quality. The last eight matches have brought 7 victories and a draw, that has made Jackson's young side the form team in the division.

Result: Huddersfield Town 4-0 Swindon Town
