Wagner must utilise these 2 Huddersfield players as impact subs against Palace in their first PL match

Huddersfield fans are enjoying their time at the Transfer Tavern at the moment, and they’re hoping for similar enjoyment in the Premier League next season.

Following on from their dramatic penalty-shootout in the play-off final against Reading last season, Huddersfield will be playing Premier League football for the first time in their history.

Whilst an opening day away game against Crystal Palace isn’t the hardest game they will have all season, it will certainly be a test for the top-flight new boys.

David Wagner will probably just not want to lose his opening day fixture against the Eagles with a draw being a more than satisfactory result.

With Crystal Palace’s strength in attack, Huddersfield’s defence will have a long 90 minutes and which substitutes to use at what time, could dictate whether they win or lose.

It will come as no surprise that if Huddersfield find themselves level or even winning come the 60/70-minute mark, a host of defensive players will be brought on.

On that note, our landlord has selected TWO Huddersfield players David Wagner must utilise in their opening day match against Crystal Palace…..

Danny Williams

Danny Williams played in that play-off final last season and went the whole 120 minutes however, he was lining up for Reading that day and made the switch to Huddersfield in early July.

If David Wagner follows in the footsteps of Eddie Howe and keeps his starting 11 full of the players that got Huddersfield to the Premier League, then Danny Williams will have to break his way into the first team from the bench.

A strong and powerful defensive midfielder, Williams will be a good player to bring on if Wagner finds himself in need of a bit more defensive stability.

Scott Malone

Another new signing from Wagner, Malone being used as an impact sub is going again on the basis that Wagner will be giving the players that got them to the top flight, the chance to perform there.

A solid left back who nearly gained promotion himself with his old club Fulham, Malone will most likely be brought on to replace Chris Lowe who will be absolutely knackered having to mark Wilfried Zaha all game.

Given the chance against a tired left back, Zaha can run riot so bringing Malone on later on in the game will have Wagner hoping Zaha will quiet down.
