Why no Albion wonder goals?

[EastbourneGull]

Looking back on the wreckage of the season so far - I can't remember a single goal scored by BHA that lives in the memory. A long range thunderbolt, a bender round the wall, a sequence of 27 passes followed by a tap in - or an outstanding individual effort.

On the other hand I've seen plenty of outstanding goals scored against us. Can anyone recall an Albion wonder goal this season?

This thread is posted in the optimistic hope that it triggers a couple or more brilliant strikes tomorrow.

Glenn Murray vs Leeds
Kevin McLeod vs Northampton
Colin Hawkins vs Brighton
Adam Hinshlewood vs Brighton

The best one I saw of the top of my head was Johnson's first (I think it was) against Leicester.

Edit: Oh yeh Murray against Leeds and McLeod against Northampton

 

[SNOOBS]

Johnsons about the only player to have a few long range shots

 

[Lady Whistledown]

The way this season's gone, frankly I'm grateful for any goal, let alone a spectacular one.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Are you all forgetting Hinsh and Hawkins??

 

[strings]

Kevin McLeod in the JPT instantly spung to my mind... can't remember who it was aginst, but we were wearing the navy and yellow kit.

 

[Jam The Man]

Not a scorcher, but for best team goal, for me, was Cox vs Millwall. Superb move that we've seen far too little of...

 

[Mellotron]

This may sound mad, but I think you can find a direct correlation between a team's confidence and the amount of wonder goals they score in a season.

We have no confidence = no wonder goals.

I've watched an old compilation from about 3 years back on YouTube so I know we have players who can hit them (Cox, when are you coming back?)...

Murray's goal at Northampton was SUPERB.

If only it could've been the winner.

Northampton. Decent strike but went straight through the keeper, Johnson's against Leicester was much better.

In recent games I've been grateful for a SHOT !

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Hawkins bullet header was pretty wondrous

 

[O Lads]

Murray V Leeds was the greatest individual effort I have seen in a bloody long time. Almost made the shambolic day at Leeds worthwhile

 

[NF9]

Regarding why there isnt many goals from far out its because we NEVER Shoot from outside the box we always dilly dally around with the ball and then lose it
Only two ive seen are
Kevin Mcleod & Johnson

 

[murraymints4brighton]

I dont think Mcleod meant for that to be a shot anyway. Id probably go for that good goal we scored against Derby that was given as offside even though replays showed it wasnt. That goal had some good passing moves in it and a good finish. If i go for a goal that actually stood the sheer power Hinsh got on that own goal was extraordinary.

 

[Dickyboy]

Got to be Hinch own goal right behind it when he struck it, beautiful in from the second he hit truly sums our season up

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Hawkins OG against Huddersfield, the best diving header I think I've ever seen from a Brighton player. The backpass by Hinshelwood is also sketched into my brain, but the winner for wonder goal was the run by Murray against Millwall, and then that superb cross into the path of Bradley Johnson who slotted it home.

 

[HG201]

Bradley Johnson's double vs Leicester

Goal of the season for me

So instinctive! a natural finish

just turned round and hit it all in one sweet movement....as if he KNEW the keeper wasn't anywhere near it!
