LCFC's Entry for Mitre Goal of the Years Poll

[Aus Fox]

Knocky for me.. Had everything

[ousefox]

Wood vs. Watford.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

King and also Vardy, for sheer pace. Have to say, the commentators make it too!!

[MC Prussian]

 

Knockaert's and King's were both really sweet strikes. Well... Nugent's, too.

 

Can't make my mind up.

[Corky]

Nugent's goal is a beauty, instinctive hit on the half-volley right into the corner, beautiful goal with the element of surprise.

[Captain...]

5. Vardy - Good run, but didn't actually beat anyone and thought the shot was a little fortunate to nutmeg the keeper from there

 

4. Dyer - A good run, but like Vardy didn't actually beat anyone, just kicked it ahead and ran onto it, showed good strength, and put it in about the only possible spot to score

 

3. Nugent - Good little set-up and strike, but I can't help wondering how deliberate it all was Wood really trying to set-up Nuge and did Nuge place it or just hit it in the right general direction.

 

2. King - Sweet strike, but you see those sort of goals quite often and you also see the same player in the same position skying that horribly wide, as other have said the best strike of the ball.

 

1. Knocky - The reasons for not picking the ones above is why this stands out, it was so deliberate and so skilful, we haven't had many players in my City supporting life that can beat players through skill and not knocking it past them and sprinting, to ghost past 2 players like that was sublime and then the finish, to bend the ball around the defender but inside the post, just pure accuracy, a superb and deliberate goal he knew exactly what he was doing and where he wanted the ball to go, it just oozed class.

[LCCFox96]

King for me. Top drawer strike and great placement. The keeper was a mere spectator. Given the context of that being the 2nd goal in a minute it was great as well.

[deanolegend1989]

5. Vardy - Just pace and lucky finish.

 

4. King - Over rated, great hit but it didnt even go in the corner and you see plenty of those.

 

3. Dyer - Great run, strength and finish at a massive moment.

 

2. Knocky - Quality. Not much else to say.

 

1. Nugent - IMO this is under rated, such a difficult goal made to look so easy. Technically the most difficult.

[gazfox9]

King for me. As mentioned above- context. We weren't even in that game, then boom- two goals in a minute. And King's was special. One of those split second moments in the stand of " has that actually gone in?" Before the madness erupts!

[Soar Fox]

King for me. The celebrations for that goal is probably the best away end I've been in this season.

[PAULCFC]

Nugent for me......as a 20 min drive to the KP took 2 hours that night!

[Dan]

Knockaert. That's one of my favourite goals for us. Won the ball, beat two players with an unreal bit of skill, produced an excellent finish.

[FuriousFox46]

I picked King and Knockaert.

[Oxfordfox83]

Pretty much in the order shown for me. Knocky's is sensational, because of the work that went into creating the shot, and the precision of the finish. Also the mixed response of Wood is quite funny. Nugent incredibly skilful. Others great goals, but unusual rather than rare.
