    11 pts. But Derby finished with a GD of -69. So far the Terriers got 11/-27.

    So if they didn't get a single point beyond the 11 they already have, they'd still need to start losing by higher scores to end the season with -69 and tie Derby.

    Clear now?

    Still think he's better than McKennie or Adams if he's 100%. Maybe Bradley too.

    The way that this is phrased implies that you think Bradley is better than Adams and McKennie.

    I hope I'm misreading.

    Anyway, discussing Williams as even potentially being 100% seems sort of crazy right now. Guy has 6 league appearances in the last 12 months.

    Really hope he gets healthy. Unless Bradley turns it around Williams could be a very important piece of qualifying this cycle.

    Very overrated player by US fans. Up there with the likes of Morales and Yedlin, guys who get praise mostly based on where they play, not how they play.

    A fit williams was probably on the verge of a starting spot or at least a sub. His energy and drive was very good in the championship. He transformed Reading's attack and that's why Huddersfield bought him.

    But it's been almost 2 years since then and injuries have really hit him hard. I hope he can get that spark back.

    On top of which, his departure left a big hole in their midfield and Reading have spent the next two seasons battling relegation. Not entirely coincidental

    Huddersfield is so miserable even Williams may help them improve at this point.

    Williams isn't yet back in the 18, but Huddersfield won today! 1-0 home win courtesy of a 90th-minute Steve Mounie winner.

    That leaves Huddersfield...11 points from safety. Oof.

    There's hope for Fulham to get the Wooden Spoon yet. Guess Williams will be fit in time to play in the Championship, though.

    Anyone watched the L'ester vs. Brighton? How come no one told those people the two uniforms look far too similar on TV?

    Danny Williams has made the bench for Huddersfield today in its match against Crystal Palace.

    Huddersfield's time in the Premiership is drawing to a close. Even 7 wins in the final 7 matches of the season probably wouldn't save them.

    Williams played the final 10 minutes of a 2-0 defeat.

    Victories for Southampton and Burnley have confirmed the inevitable - Huddersfield is mathematically confirmed to be relegated to the Championship.

    Well the good news is that he's much more likely to start once back in the Ch'ship.

    PT this year wasn’t an issue because of level of play. It’s the same issue he’s had for a while now... injuries.

    Even when healthy he wasn't starting.

    Seven games on the bench, didn't play in four (@ ManCity, @ Everton, vs. Palace, @ B'mouth), played in three (1' @ Wolves, 14' vs. Brighton, 11' @ Palace).

    Two games started (68' cup game @ Stoke, 69' @ Arsenal).

    So he only started 2 games out of 9 for which he was deemed fit enough to at least make the bench. As I wrote, even when he was not injured he was not starting.

    And on the bench he stayed.

    They're already goners, it wouldn't hurt if Siewert throws the guy a bone. Let him play one.

    He came on for about 15 seconds of stoppage time in a 4-0 loss.

    This season we already got Ream & Williams relegated in the EPL, very likely Wood in the Bundesliga, likely EPB with Breda (Payne is safe since he's playing with the U21 team even though he's 23), likely Cappis and Sabbi with Hobro in Denmark, possible Miazga with Reading and Robinson with Wigan in the Championship, likely Gyau with Duisburg in the 2.BuLi, possible Wooten with Sandhausen, and almost certain Lopez with Veracruz. I'm not counting Gipson because Sandhausen has disappeared him.

    So we're going to have at least half a dozen guys going down, possibly more. And I bet I'm missing a few in places like Israel or Finland.

    Williams did not make the squad today for Huddersfield Town, who are losing 0-1 in the second half at home against Watford.
