Bolton Wanderers v Huddersfield Town: Guiseley product's time to shine could be approaching

Radulovic came off with his arm in a makeshift sling in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Cardiff City and although joint interim head coach Martin Drury said he had been knocking on the office door on Thursday asking to play at Bolton Wanderers in Saturday's 12.30 kick-off, it is unlikely.

Given the importance of Radulovic's physique to how Huddersfield are playing under Drury and Jon Stead, his replacement on the night, George Sebine, looks most likely to be the No 9 in Lancashire.

"Probably the two best (Huddersfield) performances (this season) were Bradford, the first half of that, with Bojan in the team, and last Saturday," argued Stead before Radulovic's latest injury.

"He's a menace, he's a leader, he leads the line so well.

"He's kind of using the fact that he's backing the team to go into him at times to put balls in the box."

At 6ft 1in, Sebine is a more natural replacement that 5ft 9in Alfie May, seen more as an inside-forward in Drury and Stead's 3-4-2-1.

The interims have really taken to Sebine, whose only Terriers appearance before they took over was as a Football League Trophy substitute.

"He's there on merit," stressed Stead. "He came into the group and we got him in training with us and he's a Bojan profile. Then it's just getting in with the group and seeing if he looks all right.

"He didn't look out of place.

"Lovely lad, wants to learn, raw at times, but I quite like that. He has an air of unpredictability about him.

"But when you need to be calm and composed, he's good at that.

"There's some other good lads that have trained with us – Vostie (Daniel Vost) and Tom (Iorpenda) down at Notts County. There's some really good prospects.

"But it's the stage of the season where you've got to be careful. You can't just throw all the young lads at it."

Sebine's commitment has shone through, needing two layers of stitches after an Easter Monday clash of heads with Marcus Harness, and spilling blood from his nose on his return from concussion protocols against Cardiff. Radinio Balker also had to change his shirt after a blood injury.

"I'd be more worried if we weren't getting those types of things because of the way I want the team to play and the way we all want the team to play," said Drury.

"I want us to be aggressive, I want us to make contact with people.

"We need to have a real toughness about us that we're able to go for things and bounce up and carry on. I think we've seen that over a number of games."

Victory would put Huddersfield a point outside the play-off places, but the teams sandwiching them, Stevenage and Luton Town, have four games left, starting at 3pm.
