shandypants Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Could Windass' goal against Plymouth be the Goal of the Season so far? He's not gone on a mazy run and curled it into the top corner, or finished off an intricate passing move turning the opposition defence inside out, or hit a "howitzer" volley from a dropping ball, but what he did showed ultimate technique - he's brought down a long forward pass with his first touch, set himself up perfectly with his second touch and then scored with his third touch, surprising the opposition with the speed of his decision. That, for me, Ladies and Gent's, makes that a real contender for our goal of the season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbo48 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, but I can’t remember us scoring almost immediately from the ko after conceding one at Hillsborough Anybody know of it happening before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Good finish but not even close to goal of the season Bannan solo effort Kamberi lob Paterson first time left foot smash Adeniran lob Without even thinking these are all better in my mind 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 One thing on his mind. All made possible by that exquisite first touch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetherivelinowl Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Best moment of the season so far for me. If I watched the other contenders again I might realise their merits too but this was the goal I'm going to remember for longest. That first touch alone had me drooling but then to spin and put it in the back of the net with such apparent ease was just ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skill to watch a 70-yard pass over his shoulder, kill it dead, turn his marker, and slot it home was simply a cut above anything else I've seen from a Wednesday player this season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly not quite GOS but, if you take into account the context of Windass's strike - that we'd just conceded and, for the second time in the match, could have gone into meltdown instead - that gives some extra bonus points to Windass's goal.

sibon Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I was in the South, level with the penalty box. That first touch was absolutely first class. If Salah had scored that, it would have been tweeted, replayed, retweeted and replayed again. Best goal I've seen live for years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, if Salah (or any other top Prem player) does that the it’s goal of the month. If Messi or Ronaldo scores that, people would be saying that only Messi or Ronaldo can scored that type of goal. Windass’ goal in absolutely “top drawer” and why I put it forward as Goal of the Season in my OP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 It looked great from the Kop Anyone got any video from that angle ? The touch and then hearing the smack off his boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Crawshaw Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 i thought his goal against MK was better. He let the ball drop over his shoulder, turned and bamboozled their defence with an outrageous dummy then smashed it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Barry Bannan does first touches like that 5 times a game and gets slandered by our own fans Whats a Scot to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 It was a good goal and a great first touch, but I think watching Kamberi and Berahino had led to some lowering of first touch expectations of our strikers Gregory kills long balls dead all game, Jack Hunt regularly does it, Bannan too. If you want to see a similar goal deserving of all the hyperbole of this thread, then watch this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
