March Goal of the Month Nominations

12 April 2019

The March nominations for the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month Award are as follows:

 

Jack Grealish – ASTON VILLA v Derby County – 2nd March

An outstanding combination goal as Glenn Whelan floated a deep corner with precision into the arc of Grealish. Cue a perfectly timed volley and a shot thrashed home in an instant.

Mason Bennett – DERBY COUNTY v Wigan Athletic – 5th March

Imagination, split-second judgement and impeccable technique all fused together as Bennett flicked a volley with the instep of his outside foot and saw the ball loop into the top corner.

Emiliano Buendia – NORWICH CITY v Swansea City – 8th March

With time running out and his side needing a goal, the Argentine stepped forward, cushioned the ball on his instep and then fired in a rasping, rising drive for the winner.

 

Marcus Maddison – PETERBOROUGH UNITED v Wycombe Wanderers – 2nd March

A geometrist would have been proud to design this free-kick which took a flight path off Maddison’s left boot so perfect in its arc at speed that no keeper could have saved it.

Luke O’Neill – Luton Town v GILLINGHAM – 16th March

There is an impish enjoyment for a free-kick taker when he knows he has struck the dead ball as sweetly as O’Neill did here that it will keep curling away out of the keeper’s reach.

Jonson Clarke-Harris – Plymouth Argyle v BRISTOL ROVERS – 23rd March

Before he could think about scoring a screamer into the top corner from 25 yards, Clarke-Harris first had to use chest control, then his tight dribbling skills to work his way into space.

 

Ryan Seager – YEOVIL TOWN v Morecambe – 2nd March

Desperate for a win, Seager took matters into his own hands, turning on a clipped pass and unleashing a shot whose combination of power, precision and trajectory made it unsaveable.

Frank Nouble – COLCHESTER UNITED v Newport County – 9th March

Mesmerising footwork sent Newport’s Dan Butler this way and that before Nouble jinked past his man and cleverly arched his looping shot up, over and in from the tightest of angles.

Jamie Devitt – CARLISLE UNITED v Cambridge United – 23rd March

The key to this strike was Devitt’s judgement of when to strike the ball rolling across his path. Leaving it as late as possible, he was able to arrow it unstoppably into the far corner.
