Away ticket priority for 2017/18 – Who should be at the front of the queue?

Away ticket priority for 2017/18 – Who should be at the front of the queue?

Matches, Opinion
This season will see David Wagner and his team coming up against some of the best teams in club football and have to solve problems that seem impossible. Before any of that, the club have a problem to solve that's as tough as any of the tactical challenges in the Premier League. Away ticket priority. Town will receive a maximum of 3,000 tickets for away games in the Premier League next season. It seems very likely that demand will outstrip supply and some fans will be left disappointed. The dilemma for the club is how to divide the tickets up fairly. Or if some people will miss out, who is the most deserving of a place at the front of the queue? Embed from Getty Images Who are the different groups of people with a claim to priority tickets? There is a thread on Down At The Mac wh...

Kasey Palmer – The Chelsea man returns for another year on loan

Kasey Palmer – The Chelsea man returns for another year on loan

Player profiles, Transfers
Kasey Palmer returns to Huddersfield Town for another year on loan, after signing a new contract with Chelsea. The attacking midfielder impressed on loan last season despite missing most of the second half of the campaign due to injury. While he’s not exactly a new signing, as he’s already spent a year in West Yorkshire, his return is a real coup for David Wagner. Palmer proved himself to be an incredibly talented player and would have been hard to replace had we not been able to get him back for another year. Embed from Getty Images What kind of a player is he? Palmer’s best position is in the space behind a lone striker. He’s an intelligent player that reads the game well and can burst past the main striker to get into dangerous positions or drift wide and cause problems for def...

SIGNING: Zanka – Who is he and how will he fit in at Town? 

News, Player profiles, Transfers
Huddersfield Town have today signed Mathias “Zanka” Jørgensen from FC Copenhagen for a fee reported to be £3.5m. The Danish international defender usually referred to as Zanka, arrives at Town with a reputation as a great defender and a big personality. Having read up a bit on him I'm convinced he's going to tear up the Premier League for Town. What kind of a player is Zanka? Zanka, 27, usually plays on the right side of central defence. He’s made over three hundred career appearances, mostly for FC Copenhagen in the Danish Superligaen. He’s won the Danish league five times, the Danish Cup five times for FC Copenhagen and the Dutch Super Cup in his spell at PSV Eindhoven. He’s played in the Champions League for FC Copenhagen and even made the Champions League team of the week last Sep...

Scott Malone – Joe Lolley’s tormentor returns to Town

Scott Malone – Joe Lolley’s tormentor returns to Town

News, Player profiles, Transfers
Huddersfield Town have signed Scott Malone, 26, from Fulham for an undisclosed fee believed to be around £3.2m. The left back signed a three-year contract with the Terriers having an option to add an extra year if they wish. Town fans may remember his goal-scoring performance for Fulham in April 2016, where he absolutely destroyed us. While Joe Lolley’s suspect positioning helped him, Malone marauded up and down the left wing that day and caused us a great deal of misery. I don't think I've ever seen a full-back so consistently make a winger look silly as that day. I'd genuinely like to see Joe Lolley's reaction when they meet each other on the training ground for the first time. Embed from Getty Images What kind of a player is Malone? As mentioned above, Malone is a modern type ...
