    Raylor has scored some pretty special goals in the 3 or so years he has spent with us. Which do you think was his best? I know the one vs the mackems will be the favourite with most, but I want to know which do you think was the best strike, the context is irrelevant.

    A reminder if you cant remember the goals:

    2009/10 vs Crystal Palace - Left footed strike from around 25 yards, curled into top corner.

    2009/10 vs Ipswich - Free kick, very similar to his goal in the derby but a bit further out. Over the goalkeeper and into the far corner.

    2010/11 vs Accrington Stanley - Picks the ball up near the half way line, drives forward and hits a swerving shot that goes right in the top corner from about 30 yards.

    2010/11 vs Chelsea - Curls a free-kick around the wall, too powerful for the goalkeeper.
    Roughly 25 yards distance, maybe a bit less.

    2011/12 vs Sunderland - You don't need reminding! ;)

    2011/12 vs Scunthorpe - Free kick, over the wall, top corner. ROUGHLY 25 yards out.

    2011/12 vs Everton - Dipping volley from just outside the edge of the penalty area, over Tim Howard and clipped the bar on its way into the net.


    He has actually scored two other competitive goals for us, but I haven't included them as they were both essentially tap-ins.

    I want a 'goals against Newcastle' option. They were always mint and probably half the reason we signed him...

    I think the Everton goal is the best goal I have ever seen anyone score "live"

    Sunderland for the most meaningful one but sitting behind the goal for the Everton one made it that little bit more special.

    The one vs Everton for me, the way he controlled and got such an amazing dip on it.

    Takes some doing getting a ball to dip like that when he's hit it so hard, I hope we see a few more of them.

    His other two were exactly the same weren't they? Cross from Pancrate on the right, Best misses and Taylor smashes it home twice in a week.

    Palace, I remember it very well and it was a game that showed the rest of the Championship that we were the big boys.

    A real beauty.
