Title: Goal of the Decade
Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Friday, November 29, 2019, 11:36:43
The club’s twitter account has come up with this one. Here’s mine. I was right behind it as it hit the net.

Not sure I can argue with that. Pity it didn't make the difference on the night.

Best goal I've seen against us was Rohan Ince for Brighton in the League Cup.

Matt Ritchie vs Gillingham is the first one that comes to my head. Gladwin vs Sheffield United in the playoffs too.

Someone on Twitter has angrily suggested Danny Invincible v Peterborough, nearly 19 years ago.

Not even trolling I don't think.

Has to be Taylors though, what a hit that was

Flint's aggregate equaliser at Griffin Park for its climactic thunderousness?

Almost took my patio door off when that went in. My celebration matched the savageness of the header. Only time ive ever reacted aggressively to a Swindon goal. Was bizarre. Shame we went on to lose on pens.

Keeping up my fine tradition of missing everything, I was on my stag weekend when Flint scored that goal.

Jonathan Douglas v Sheffield Wednesday was a screamer (even if that was the game that sent us down).

I also really liked Ryan Mason's goal v Wolves (A), Matt Ritchie v Gills and Matty Taylor v Wycombe.

 My fave was Andy Williams' second at the Bescot in the snowstorm. Wes collects, rolls it to Mass, who runs before playing in Michael Smith on the right who plays in a great ball for Willo to clip over the keeper.  Sort of goal you score maybe once a season.

It's been a curious decade... if we take the Wilson PO season as just getting its finish in 2010, we had 3 very decent Div 3 sides, added to PdC's Div 4 title winners, add in another couple of seasons when we weren't too bad like the first Power season and Flitcroft's effort, and it's probably more good than bad. Just that the bad was very, very, very bad, and kind of bookended going from very nearly auto in Div 3 to a lowest position for 34 years.

For me its this goal from the easily forgotten Royce Browlie against Barnet. (20 secs in). Absolutely brilliant strike.

It was and one I remember very clearly.... in my time in the same way as with music, hearing something can conjure up a picture in the mind of where you were, who with at a particular time etc.  I also get it with goals and matches, sometimes it's a really good vibe sometimes less so but never less than interesting.

Shame Brownlie never kicked on, he looked a decent signing.

I remember him coming on trial a few years earlier in 2002-3 when he played on trial for Sheff Weds and he impressed but got injured then came to Town on trial and played really well against Sporting de Gijón and scored after about a minute but was then let go.
