1. Sunderland away
George Hirst goal. Vas performance. Away from home. Against a team who were in the play offs the season before. On sky. What a start to the season!
2. The comeback vs Cardiff after going 2-0 down.
Super sub Freddy. 2-0 down at home after a good start to the season. This performance goes down as the one I remember first really thinking we were pretty good.
3. That Wes Burns goal.
What a goal. Worked from back to front before the delightful finish.
4. Sarmiento goal against Leicester (a)
Massive, massive, massive goal for us at the time.
5. Morsy goal against Leicester (h).
it feels a little boring to have 2 goals against Leicester in the list but the context of the goals cannot be ignored. Also helped being on Boxing day at home to ‘rescue’ a point. The time “Deflection FC” started appearing.
6. Harness equaliser away at Birmingham
Massive goal and a tidy, tidy finish on the turn/volley My stream was so bad I only knew it was a goal because the net moved. Went crazy.
7. Leif Davis goal against Bristol City
Timing of the goal with the importance of that goal considering the table. Big celebrations. Also meant we had won 6 on the bounce.
8. Beating Sheffield Wednesday 6-0 at home after losing 2-1 THAT away game.
So important we put Sheffield Wednesday away and bounced back after losing to Cardiff in the manner in which we did and also at that stage in the season. Thought we would beat them, but certainly didn’t expect that score line. A great win and also showed how far we have come in such a short space of time.
9. Sarmiento goal against Southampton.
Not sure I have ever celebrated a goal more. Russel Martin. Leif Davis free on the left. Last minute. Last touch. Toe poke. Limbs.
10. The full time whistle Saturday.
Just waiting for someone to call out an obvious best moment that I have missed. A couple of outside mentions:
- Leeds losing 4-0 to QPR
- Harry Clarke’s brother being mistaken for Burgess
