Sky Bet Championship

Jack Grealish (ASTON VILLA v Derby, March 2)

An outstanding combination goal as Glenn Whelan floated a deep corner with precision into the arc of Grealish. Cue a perfectly timed volley and a shot thrashed home in an instant.

Mason Bennett (DERBY v Wigan, March 5)

Imagination, split-second judgement and impeccable technique all fused together as Bennett flicked a volley with the instep of his outside foot and saw the ball loop into the top corner.

Emiliano Buendia (NORWICH v Swansea City, March 8)

With time running out and his side needing a goal, the Argentine stepped forward, cushioned the ball on his instep and then fired in a rasping, rising drive for the winner.

Sky Bet League One

Marcus Maddison (PETERBOROUGH v Wycombe, March 2)

A geometrist would have been proud to design this free-kick which took a flight path off Maddison’s left boot so perfect in its arc at speed that no keeper could have saved it.

Luke O’Neill (Luton Town v GILLINGHAM, March 16)

There is an impish enjoyment for a free-kick taker when he knows he has struck the dead ball as sweetly as O’Neill did here that it will keep curling away out of the keeper’s reach.

Jonson Clarke-Harris (Plymouth v BRISTOL ROVERS, March 23)

Before he could think about scoring a screamer into the top corner from 25 yards, Clarke-Harris first had to use chest control, then his tight dribbling skills to work his way into space.

Sky Bet League Two

Ryan Seager (YEOVIL v Morecambe, March 2)

Desperate for a win, Seager took matters into his own hands, turning on a clipped pass and unleashing a shot whose combination of power, precision and trajectory made it unsaveable.

Frank Nouble (COLCHESTER v Newport County, March 9)

Mesmerising footwork sent Newport’s Dan Butler this way and that before Nouble jinked past his man and cleverly arched his looping shot up, over and in from the tightest of angles.

Jamie Devitt (CARLISLE v Cambridge United, March 23)

The key to this strike was Devitt’s judgement of when to strike the ball rolling across his path. Leaving it as late as possible, he was able to arrow it unstoppably into the far corner.

Who picks the contenders?

The shortlist for the poll is decided by a judging panel following suggestions from supporters via Twitter.
