On Saturday, Huddersfield will start their Premier League season against Crystal Palace. The English side won promotion by eliminating Reading in the play-offs in May.
"We are more than happy for people to write us off and more than happy to be the underdogs, that's absolutely fine. But as long as we go about our business in the right way, which I'm sure we will, then I see no reason why we can't give it a good go", Huddersfield Captain Smith said.
Smith, who missed Huddersfield Town pre-season preparation, is hopeful to make his come-back against Palace.
"I feel good. It took a while but the doctors and physios said it would take time but I was desperate to get fit as soon as possible," he added.
