Best goal scored against the City
My apology if this topic has been covered before. Probably some crackers scored against us but for me the one that comes to mind was scored by Marco Gabbiadini for Northampton at Ninian in 2002. We lost the game 1-2 with MG hitting a 40 yarder that never gave Neil Alexander a chance.

I think his goal was applauded and he was given a standing ovation when he was subbed?

Re: Best goal scored against the City
I came here to same the same as well. Stunning strike.

Re: Best goal scored against the City
Can someone please suggest a goal that isn’t Gabbia****ingdini.
I was there too, I think I clapped too. But seriously there must be others.
I will admit I’m struggling to think of others.
But I suppose we are never going to remember goals scored against us as well as goals we’ve scored.

First one that came to my head was Mowatt for Albion against us in September

Re: Best goal scored against the City
Remember going to the 1st game of the season..Bradford at home..we played really well but lost to 2 wonder strikes

But it’s the correct answer?
Maybe next time we do this thread it should be “who scored the second best goal against the city”.

Ched Evans for Norwich in about 2007

Re: Best goal scored against the City
Andre Schurrle for Fulham in our 4-2 win against them in the premier league a few years ago.

That was the other one I had in mind when I started the thread. But given who scored it, a) I don't think it was better than Gabbiadini's and b) just the mention of his name was likely to cause the thread to deviate....um just like I'm doing now lol

Re: Best goal scored against the City
Brentford scored an amazing free kick once in the Canton Stand end of the ground. 1991-ish. It was like a rocket. I think we won 3-1 or 4-1.
-
Re: Best goal scored against the City
Another vote for gabbiadini.
Alternative goals, I remember Lewis mcgugan scoring a very nice one.
-
Re: Best goal scored against the City
The ched Evans one was the one I was going to suggest other than gabbiadini but Phil billings I think scored a sweet strike for Huddersfield I think a couple of years back??

Re: Best goal scored against the City
Eric Gates scored an excellent hat trick against us in 1984 ( I think) in the FA cup, every goal seemed to be hit from further out ! Can remember we all watched on in awe at his performance that day

I remember that but thought it was Barnet. We were already 3-0 up and it was a very late consolation. Think it was 1992 and Eddie Newton’s last game on loan.

Re: Best goal scored against the City
Jimmy Bullard scored a cracker when Ipswich beat us 2-0. We absolutely battered them and they picked us off twice.

Talking of best goals against us, Fulop’s performance in goal for Ipswich is up there with one of the best keeping performances I’ve ever seen. Like you said, we battered them, but he saved everything!
Sadly he passed away a few years back. RIP

That was one of the goals which came to mind for me. Billing scored a tremendous goal for Huddersfield as well in one of Neil Warnock’s first home matches in charge. I liked DeBruyne’s under the wall free kick in the FA Cup match as well.
As for Gabbiadini’s goal, clearly a great one, but, my mind may be playing tricks on me a bit here, but my memory is that the ball sat up really nicely for him to hit, so I think it was a relatively easy hit for someone with his technique.

It could have been 9/10-2 and that’s no exaggeration. He was saving them with all parts of his body including his face :hehe:
I remember being extremely pissed off that the lads got booed off as we played exceptional but it was just one of those once in a lifetime performances from their keeper.

Bob, the ball may have sat up but he was at the very least 40 yards from the goal. Yes his ball striking technique was exceptional but the power and accuracy he achieved over such a distance was astonishing. The odds of him being able to replicate that shot again in a game situation would be quite small I would imagine.
Similarly, Peter King's wonder goal against Middlesbrough was one I don't think he could replicate in a million years, such was the improbability of the trajectory the ball took when it left his foot. The look of wonderment on his face as the ball went in said it all.

Gabbiadini was a good Premier League level striker at his best, I reckon he’d score goals like that quite regularly in training. Funilly enough, King said he was practicing shots like his volley a few days earlier on a beach in Cyprus when City played Larnaca, but you’re right about the look of wonderment on his face which betrays that he had no real expectation that he would score when he hit the ball. The skills needed for King’s goal were much harder than those for Gabbiadini’s - he was good enough to have been thinking he had a decent chance of scoring as he lined up his shot.

I always had you down as a sensible member of this board Bob but the "ball sat up" and it was a "relatively easy hit" (45yards mind) has lowered my opinion of you substantially but your humour is far more acceptable than Mr Carrs to be fair.
Must be all that fresh Treherbert mountain air percolating the the consciousness of the
inhabitants of the valley below!
I once saw John Charles score from the centre circle, that was a bit of a fluke (not) too!

Re: Best goal scored against the City
Didn't Kem Izzet score a cracker the year we went up from League 1 playing for Colchester I think?
Plus another vote for Gabbiadini.

Jimmy Bullard scored a cracker against us a few seasons back

Charlie Adam's free kick in the play-off final was gut wrenching but quality.

I didn't say it was a fluke, I said it was a goal that was on for a player like Gabbiadini when the ball bounced the way it did if my memory is correct.
Just watched the goal again and my memory does serve me correct, it was about thirty five yards out, Alexander was about five or six yards off his line and the ball bounced perfectly for a player with very good technique - a fine goal, but not the wonder strike it's being described as in this thread.

Disagree with you there Bob. He was at least double the distance of the penalty area from goal and on a slight angle. Forty yards plus all day long.
It is a wonder strike of the highest order. If it had been scored for and not against us, we would have been proclaiming it as the goal of the century !

Oh dear, dear, I was just jesting, won't bother you again.

Les O’Neil I think his name was, it was a tremendous goal and Alan Campbell equalised within a minute.
