FLW's Terriers fan pundit has commented on the performances of Dion Charles and Bojan Radulovic in their 3-1 win against Plymouth

Ahead of a massive game against Plymouth Argyle, Huddersfield Town boss Lee Grant took a risk and shuffled his forward pack, giving starts to Dion Charles and Bojan Radulovic for the first time in League One this season, and it paid off massively.
After three straight defeats, the Terriers needed a positive result against the equally out-of-form Pilgrims, and a 3-1 win was exactly what the doctor ordered. A goal and two assists for Charles, plus a goal for Radulovic, put the icing on the cake.
Charles had especially come under fire from the Huddersfield fans due to a more than lacklustre opening few months to his career at The Accu Stadium, scoring no goals in his 18 League One appearances after moving from Bolton Wanderers for £750,000 in January.
After netting his first goals for the club in Huddersfield's EFL Trophy win over Mansfield Town, he continued that form into league action, and Lee Grant could have himself a saviour up front amidst the club's poor form.
As for Radulovic, the Serbian might have a little more work to do to get on the good side of those Huddersfield fans who were critical of his performances, but FLW's Terriers fan pundit, Graeme Rayner, is confident that the two could be a dynamic duo for them going forward.

Both Charles and Radulovic linked up well in Huddersfield's win over Plymouth. Charles set up his strike partner with an easy tap-in to open the scoring, whilst it was Radulovic's glancing header which fell into the path of the Northern Irishman to open his league account for the club.
After a tough few months where he's worked hard, but perhaps hasn't had that rub of the green, Rayner believes that Charles may have done enough in that one 90-minute spell to win a lot of fans back.
"I think he potentially has," Rayner said when asked if the 30-year-old had saved his Huddersfield career. "He was never someone who didn't graft, and he always seemed to apply himself really well, but he tried too hard at times.
"He blotted his copybook with some fans last season when he was injured and posted footage of himself in the away end at Bolton against Blackpool with his son.
"I didn't have a problem with it. He wasn't fit to play, just taking his son to the football, but some fans thought it was unacceptable.
"When he came in, he was snatching at chances, but this week, he seemed to be playing more naturally and instinctively. His attitude and effort were always good, but now he's found the back of the net, I think he's won Town fans back over, and fair play to him."
Charles partnered with Radulovic on Saturday, who has also had a tough time so far in his Huddersfield career, coming from Finnish side HJK Helsinki, while the side was in the Championship and disappointing massively.
He spent the latter half of last season on loan with Dutch side Fortuna Sittard, and many thought that was the end of his time at the club. However, he's stuck things out, and the goal against Plymouth could be a turning point for him.
"The same can be said for Radulovic. Both he and Charles have gone a long way in the space of a week to rehabilitate their reputation in the eyes of Town fans," Rayner added.
"Radulovic probably has a little more to do, given how long he's been at the club, but if they can form a partnership, which it seems they can, they'll be a real asset to the team.
"Fair play to them, they've had a good week."

Whilst both Charles and Radulovic can be rightly praised for their efforts against Plymouth on Saturday, it's important now that the duo can continue to be a driving force up top for Huddersfield against tougher opponents as the season goes on.
Charles, especially, has proven all throughout his career that he can be a dangerous frontman at this level, and next to Radulovic, he could be back to the 20-goal-a-season striker he was during his time at Bolton.
After a poor few weeks for Lee Grant's side, a big win at home could go a long way in turning their season back around, and a new front pairing could be the key to getting Huddersfield back to challenging near the top two in League One.
