Ben Osborn (Nottingham Forest) v Bristol City – 21st January

Matthew Cash tapped back a free-kick, Osborn flicked it up with his left foot, then used it again to unleash a dipping 25-yard dipping volley over the wall.  .

Josh Morris (Scunthorpe United) v Northampton Town – 14th January

On a Scunthorpe counter-attack, Morris knew exactly what to do. He picked up the ball in space, slipped it on to his left foot and curled home an unstoppable shot.

Gregg Wylde (Northampton Town) v MK Dons – 21st January

A case of adjusting your body to a dropping ball. A Northampton free-kick was cleared to Wylde, who chested it down beautifully before timing a sweet half-volley.

Sky Bet League Two - January Goal of the Month nominations:

Dan Butler (Newport County) v Hartlepool United – 28th January

Bouncing balls on muddy pitches are notoriously difficult to judge. Butler did it perfectly, steadying himself to loop his shot effortlessly over a forest of bodies.

Gavin Massey (Leyton Orient) v Portsmouth – 14th January

A game of head tennis ended when Nigel Atangana laid the ball off on the edge of the box for Massey to whip a majestic curling shot into the far corner.

Shay McCartan (Accrington Stanley) v Carlisle United – 21st January

Some free-kicks are just unstoppable. The only time McCartan’s stunning 30-yarder was on target was in the final moments of its flight when it dipped wickedly under the bar.
