The December nominations for the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month award are...
Jamal Lowe – Cardiff City v SWANSEA CITY – 12th December
Collecting the ball just beyond halfway, tiptoeing forward, skipping inside and then gliding his shot in off the outside of his right boot guaranteed Lowe’s place in south Wales derby folklore.
Will Vaulks – CARDIFF CITY v Brentford – 26th December
Vaulks was already eyeing up the outrageous as he played a one-two in his own half. His sweetly driven 55-yard shot beyond Brentford keeper David Raya was a strike for the ages.
Joe Rothwell – BLACKBURN ROVERS v Sheffield Wednesday – 26th December
Having tried to play in a teammate, Rothwell decided to go it alone, bursting between opposing defenders at pace, jinking one way then the other before finding the bottom corner.
The December nominations for the Sky Bet League One Goal of the Month award are...
Tom Naylor – PORTSMOUTH v Peterborough United – 5th December
Great goals don’t have to have to be complicated or intricate. Simplicity can be everything as Naylor proved when he timed this rising bullet of a shot into the top corner to perfection.
Owen Dale – Burton Albion v CREWE ALEXANDRA – 5th December
With time running out and Crewe pressing for an equaliser, Dale sized up a header dropping to him with his back to goal in the Burton area. His overhead kick was executed impeccably.
Marcus Maddison – CHARLTON ATHLETIC v Plymouth Argyle – 26th December
Maddison has done this before. A cheeky nutmeg was followed by a stinging, low, left-foot drive that hovered inches above the turf as it flew into the corner to earn Charlton a late point.
The December nominations for the Sky Bet League Two Goal of the Month award are...
Callum Harriott – COLCHESTER UNITED v Crawley Town – 1st December

Scott Twine – NEWPORT COUNTY v Oldham Athletic – 19th December
No stranger to great goals in his short time so far at Newport. Twine smoothly shifted the ball back onto his right foot and sent an unstoppable 20-yard shot arrowing into the Oldham net.
Lee Novak – Grimsby Town v BRADFORD CITY – 22nd December
With his back to goal and a cross coming towards him torso high, Novak presented little danger until he chested the ball into position and looped an overhead into the far top corner.
