July 29:

David Wagner had taken his squad out to a remote island off the coast of Sweden, had them back for a friendly against Liverpool and had now taken them out to a training camp in Austria, all in preparation for the start of what would end up as a glorious Play Off winning promotion season. So on this date in 2016, Wagz and the boys took on Bundesliga side FC Ingolstadt 04 at the Silberstadt Arena in Schwaz.

We had drawn with Werder Bremen a few days earlier and Wagner again started with new keeper Danny Ward in goal, new record signing Christopher Schindler and Aussie midfielder Aaron Mooy, on loan from Man City.

The Werder Bremen game had been goal less and this one looked to be heading the same way when Wagner made some late substitutions. On came Jon Gorenc Stankovic for skipper Mark Hudson, Jason Davidson for Chris Löwe, Martin Cranie for Tommy Smith, Rekeil Pyke for Elias Kachunga and most notably, dressing gown photo bombing cult hero Michael Hefele came on in place of Schindler, all in the 84th minute.

Chelsea boy Kasey Palmer came on for his first minutes in a Town shirt before these latest subs and played a part in the winning goal. He and Dean Whitehead combined to put Joe Lolley through and his perfectly weighted cross was turned into the net by the Heffing hero.

One nil. Game over. Back home now to prepare for Brentford.
