Miss of the Season

Seeing as we're unlikely to have a Goal of the Season award this year, I've gone for the next best thing.

Here are my nominations:-

Gray against Sheff Utd at home.
Hughes against West Ham at home
Gray against Palace at home
Sarr against Liverpool away
Doucoure against Liverpool away
Gray against Brighton at home

I'm sure there are plenty of others.

 

Surely Dawson against Sheffield, right at the end, must be there?

 

I don't consider that to be a bad miss. It was more of a good save. I don't think Dawson could have done too much better with that and certainly is not as bad as any in my list, IMO.

 

Doucoure fluffing that last minute chance to win the Arsenal match?

 

He had a completely free header four yards from goal that would have won us the game and put it in a position the goalie could make a relatively routine save from!

 

He forced the keeper into a save, which is more than the others.

 

Welbeck against Sheffield United. Tame effort straight at the keeper when he could've squared it to an unmarked Gray for a tap in - cue witty response "Gray probably would've missed it anyway, haha".

Miss of the season is clearly Hughes Vs West Ham though. Season could've panned out very differently if he'd equalised when we were well on top.

 

I thought that was a super human run from him to get there. I put no blame on Doucoure for not scoring that one.

 

This one. In terms of season defining moments, this was it. To come back from 2-0 down to beat Arsenal 3-2 would have completely and utterly changed our season.

A hopeless miss from a now hopeless player. A true shame what he's become.

 

Notice how Troy hasn't even got a nomination - surest sign yet why he's our talisman and clear PotS so far.

 

If you don't shoot you can't be nominated. We're still waiting for his first shot of the season.

 

Yeah that was the joke.

 

Sarr yesterday.

 

Hughes v West Ham for sure. But I thought that would put us 2-0 up?

Re Deeney, he had had shots and he has been injured and is still coming back from that so we should be fair and give him leeway.

 

2-1 up.

 

This thread is making me sad at how different things could be.

 

And that's before we get onto VAR.

 

Thanks, I’ve gone from sad to depressed now.

 

No. Hughes.

Sarr's was bad - but there was still a keeper and at least 2 defenders on the line. It could have been stopped.

Hughes just hit to hit the target from no distance to score.

 

I reckon Hughes as well seeing as you would have thought “any contact and it’s in” except somehow it wasn’t.

But shoutout to Gray for making up half the list despite mostly being a bench player this season.

 

There's plenty of games left... let's not jump the gun here

 

A couple more for the list, I just remembered.

Gray against Norwich away
Sarr against Southampton away

 

This needs to be a video. Someone compile it for me please.

 

Ben Foster last minute vs Chelsea

Ok it was not a bad miss but yet another nearly moment for us. We really have thrown away so many points this season through poor finishing and terrible VAR decisions.

Enjoy.

 

Enjoy! Enjoy? Tear jerker

 

Looking again the Hughes one might be the worst. Seven points worth just there.

 

I thought either that one or Gray v Sheff Utd.

 

Was offside anyway. Which was also a c.ck-up on his part.

 

That's 9 amazing misses, which a Sunday league player could score with a blindfold on. We've scored only 9 goals all season, so this could have been doubled our tally without hesitation.

I know a guy, who scores loads of goals for the Dog & Duck. He's 7 stone overweight but can finish. I hope Giraldi knows all about him.

 

Yeah. And the ball was slightly behind him (potentially partially his fault too) to be fair.
