Who has the fiercest shot in the squad?

[Old B]

On Saturday, with my childish dislike of Forest I was willing for one of ours to take that free kick when (MJ) hit the bar, and just smash it Jim McNicol style into the wall and take one of them out as they wouldn’t go back the full 10 yards.
Led me to wondering who in the squad would be capable.

I said the same about having someone like Jim McNichol at the time of that free kick.
A timed McNichol's effort would have knocked a 'tricky tree' down for sure.

 

[Gawain]

To answer the question, I wouldn't like to get hit by a Vitaly volley, when he catches it just right with his left foot.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I reckon it will be Sangare. Such a clean striker of the ball.

 

[CTBee]

My money would be on Jensen or Thiago. Probably Thiago thinking of the goal here scored against Utd at home last season (and that was left footed).

 

[VitaminBee]

I think on the volley would be Sangare (technique) or Thiago (brick sh*thouse), then from the ground would be Jensen (technique) or Janelt (brick sh*thouse).

 

[Jakalo]

Given the pace of the ball when he “whips” it, I imagine Diouf could absolutely leather it.

 

[londondude]

Kayode can hit one

 

[FunkyZeus]

KLP can give it a fair whack too, especially given he's one of the smaller players.

 

[aslan]

Jensen or Sangaré

 

[Guildford Bee]

Janelt I reckon. Still remember that thunderbolt BCD against Stoke

 

[JosephBFC]

Jensen. Shame we don’t see more of it

 

[NZ Bee]

Ajer

 

[ruislip bee]

Janelt I reckon. Still remember that thunderbolt BCD against Stoke

Sorry but if it was BCD how did you see it? Just wondering.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Covid

 

[ruislip bee]

Covid

Bloody hell he had covid as well. Bloody hard our Vitaly!

 

[davewfilms]

I think Thiago has.
But we don’t seem to score from direct free kicks a lot.
Last one I remember was Toney against forest unless I have missed any.

 

[sheffbee]

Not sure if we will see it again but Da Silva for me.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Not sure if we will see it again but Da Silva for me.

Definitely the most elegant.

 

[Leedsbee]

Technique...Hickey, biggest backside (McGinn factor) Thiago.

 

[JANORAK]

Given the pace of the ball when he “whips” it, I imagine Diouf could absolutely leather it.

There’s a fair few in the crowd at Reading we could ask!

 

[BFC1997]

Janelt, Ouattara, Hickey

 

[Edmundo]

That goal at Villa was hit like a thunderbolt by Yarmo.

 

[upnorthbee]

Josh Da Silva I think, maybe followed by Janelt

 

[Brandy]

Jensen - watch him in the pre-match shooting practice

 

[Sofasteve]

Kelleher, watch his penalty against Chelsea in the League Cup final.

 

[hanworthbee]

Probably Diouf

 

[Wouldbee]

Zanka against Villa .Close thread,.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Zanka against Villa .Close thread,.

When Toumani scored .....

 

[GlasgowBee]

We should have the Big Jim Scale for this one, a 1.0 would be a McNicol smacker, think of a 30 yards out free kick into the Royal Oak goal before you know it! Would need to be an absolute cracker to be >1.0

 

[Canterbee]

Kelleher, watch his penalty against Chelsea in the League Cup final.

Played as a striker as a kid I believe. I hadn't considered goalkeepers at first but most of them can really leather a ball these days.

Also know first hand where a keeper will find it harder to save.

I saw Jim McNichol scoring a screamer vs. Windsor and Eton (?) FACup at Griffin Park, into the Royal Oak goal.
Where have those years gone.

Ive got a feeling that's the goal I had in my mind

 

[N5022N122]

He did one in the blackpool away game 5-4 I think

 

[JANORAK]

We could sign Daniel Mulheim (ex-chelski), from Hamburg for Special Teams. He’s just hammered (129km/h) his 3rd of the season, from MF outside the area. Not bad when that’s about 30% of your struggling team’s goals.

 

[Gazza Bee]

Thiagos shot against Arsenal towards the end would have taken Raya into the net if it was on target. Janelt and Sangare a close 2nd.
