Looking at the table, one can not fail to spot that Huddersfield are in trouble. Last in the Premier League.

But we will see what danskerklubbens real problem is, take a look at the Premier League’s high score table.

the Huddersfield’s most dangerous man is found far, far down on the to … Mathias ’Zanka’ Jørgensen.

Three times, the Danish landsholdsforsvarer scored this season for The Terriers’ – equivalent to 25 per cent. of the club’s goals.

Right after him on the high score table follows the U21’s midtbaneoprydder Philip Billing with two scores…

– We have a problem with scoring goals, it is clear. It is no secret, says the Huddersfield manager David Wagner ahead of Wednesday’s clash with Burnley at the John Smith’s Stadium in time in west Yorkshire.

the first match is a skæbnekamp for Huddersfield, who, in addition ’Zanka’ and Billing have landsholdsreserven Jonas Lössl on the team.

All seven matches in december was lost – the days of klubredkorden from 1955 – and that should very much like three points on the board against nedrykningskonkurrenten Burnley, if not Huddersfield must be isolated at the bottom of the Premier League.

Danskerklubben lost vital bundopgør to Southampton and Fulham at christmas and ‘celebrated’ the new year in the rankings with a paltry ten points after the first twenty rounds.

It is said that there are 40 points to save the life in the Premier League, but it is a myth.

Only four times in the Premier League soon to be 27-year-old history, have you had to have 40 points or more to stay up.

the Cut for survival is right around the 36.5 points, but in 2010 was 31 points, in fact enough to ensure survival, while the 34 points was the magic number last season.

When you stand on ten points more than halfway into the season, is very much up to both 31 and 34 points – especially when your top scorer is a Danish midterforsvarer.

the Situation is desperate in Huddersfield, but in a new year greeting on the club’s website promises chairman Dean Hoyle, that he will not allow to Huddersfield yesterday a relegation sleeping in the meeting:

– We will be active in this transfervindue, but without putting the club’s finances at stake. There is a balance that must be found, and we will strive to find the balance between risk and reward.

On the rygteplan becomes Huddersfield linked with Chelsea’s young striker Tammy Abraham, who currently is on loan to Aston Villa in The Championship.

There are, however, several of the other slightly smaller Premier League clubs, who would like to have the 21-year-old striker, who in the course of only twenty matches has scored more goals than the entire Huddersfield team together in just as many fights.

16 scores have been for Abraham, who on new year’s day netted twice against Queens Park Rangers.

a Little hope to find in the history books: Four have saved themselves

Huddersfield celebrated the new year in the rankings, but all hope is not out.

the Odds of survival are not good, but there is, after all, a bit of hope to find in the history of danskerklubben.

In the 26 seasons with the Premier League are four times happened that the team who was last at the turn, yet saved the lives.

West Bromwich Albion, with Martin Albrechtsen on the team was the first club to make ’the great escape’ in season 2004/05, and in recent seasons it has actually happened several times.

Sunderland (2013/14), Leicester (2014/15) and Swansea (2016/17) transformed a 20. place by new year’s to a place above the relegation zone in may.

It has never happened that all three teams during the nedrykningstregen new year’s eve, have managed to save themselves, but in turn, it has only happened three times, all three came down.

In the Premier League era is 62 per cent. of the clubs, which was to relegate the new year’s eve, also smoked out. Redningsprocenten is therefore purely historical 38.
