Goal of the season

[Sheaf Saint]

Not seen another thread about it so thought it was worth discussing. There's a couple of obvious candidates...

Finn Vs City at Wembley for the celebration, and it was a damn good finish too.

Charles Vs Oxford - outrageous hit from distance.

But I'd also like to nominate LND's second away at Sheff Utd. It was the moment he finally announced to us what a good footballer he actually is, after a nightmare couple of injury-plagued years for him.

There's probably plenty of other decent shouts but those are the three that stick out for me.

Larin v Wrexham was decent. For an athlete that size to pick up that pace so quickly and score so calmly and composed was very good

Agree very much about Stewart’s goal at Sheffield United but for the sheer distance and power it has to be Charles goal for me.

If we're talking purely the goal and not any of the context around it then it's Charles v Oxford by a mile. 

If we're including context then Azaz last week followed by Charles at Leicester.

[UpweySaint]

Charles if we’re talking standalone goal for sure. Honourable mention to the much maligned (often not unfairly) Manning who has hit some quality free kicks this season. The FA Cup goals all felt pretty special too. Azaz was a great strike but Stewart against Arsenal felt good too!

[Stud mark of doom]

So many to choose from.
 

Is it maybe our best season for numerous quality goals since MLT?

[Willo of Whiteley]

The technique by Stephens vs Leicester was exceptional in that comeback game

[sockeye]

That worldie by Charles is it for me.

Goal - Charles vs Oxford

Assist - Downs vs Wrexham

[Colinjb]

Shea v Oxford had people disbelieving their own eyes. A split-second of disbelief before euphoria. 

The greatest goal i've seen with my own eyes. 

Finn at Wembley a close second.

[saintstowin]

Along with the great individual goals which are the type to usually win, we've scored some great team goals where we've moved the ball all the way from the gk or defence culminating in a goal. I wish my memory wasn't completely failing me for more examples, the Larin goal v Ipswich was of that type.

[SNSUN]

Charles vs Leicester. Great build up with a curling left foot finish, his weaker foot. In injury time, to complete a 3 down comeback. 

Granted his Oxford goal will probably win it but for me, it was the Leicester goal. 

We're lucky to have seem so many good goals this season though. Azaz at Wembley was a notable one. Matsuki vs Norwich. Most of Leo's. List goes on.

[pimpin4rizeal]

I’d go with azaz cup goal .. when you consider  the occasion  the little spin first touch and he knew exactly what he was doing it wasn’t just a let have a pop 

[benjii]

Scienza at QPR was a huge goal. Tonda's first match. We were hovering around the relegation zone. Started the momentum that we've carried through  but for the Christmas dip.

For similar reasons, Charles' 4th goal against Leicester.

Also Manning v Wrexham deserves a mention.

Jander at Charlton was one of those.

Has to be a contender, proper team goal from back to front. 3:20 onwards.

 

[Stud mark of doom]

Of course, we might not have seen the goal of the season yet…. 

[Dark Munster]

Lots of good contenders mentioned here, but surely no contest: Cyle Larin's spectacular overhead kick winner against Millwall in the playoff final at Wembley.

[Willo of Whiteley]

The technique of Scienza’s goals vs QPR and Derby.

The audacity of Charles vs Oxford.

The composure of Larin vs Wrexham.

The “fuck it” hit from Stewart vs Sheffield United.

The finesse of Azaz vs Manchester City.

True, but without Fellows' surprise thunderbolt goal we'd have never got back into the game.

Not quite the greatest but it’s up there. I was sat right behind it as he hit it and the trajectory then had it going out nearer the corner flag. Absolute phenomenal strike from a very long range.

Shea Charles goal of the season. 

Azaz City goal "moment" of the season.
