Most Important Goal of Matthew Benham era

[banburybee]

I nearly went for that one as well. The roof nearly came off NR when that went in.

Yes that was really important to players and fans alike. We had played really well and lost to the likes of Watford and Norwich and first half it felt like the players and fans thought that maybe we did not belong here. The second half and THAT goal released a rush of emotion that said ‘we are here to stay’. One of my favourite GP moments.

 

[sonofabee]

but the title of the thread is the most important goal in MB era

It wasn't anywhere near that either, nearly as wacky as your cricket opinions lol

 

[pompeybee]

But it wasn't the most important Brentford goal in recent history was it?

And anyway, we wouldn't have been in the promotion places even if it hadn't happened.

 

[GABS]

Crystal ball time... it WILL be Emiliano Marcondes at Wembley next May when we're promoted to the top flight

 

[banburybee]

No it will be Judge who sends us up, it is written in the stars and the Sky script

Good finish that one

 

[No_sting_Bee]

Could someone with connections to the club suggest these are all compiled for a New Year's Eve reflection vid?

 

[teesbee]

Would suggest that the appropriate answer to the thread title would be promotion to the Premier League !!!

In the same vein: the first three bits of wood and a net being erected at Lionel Road.

 

[Leedsbee]

Yeovil's second goal at Wembley, delayed promotion for a year, changed history, we'll never know if for better or worse.

Douglas’ late one v Oldham, Warb’s first game, not overly impressive but that goal led to a 20 game odd unbeaten run, a huge goal imo.

Not quite. The unbeaten run was already 9 games strong by the Oldham game (including the FA Cup win v Staines). See section 4.4 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013–14_Brentford_F.C._season#Results_and_position_by_round

 

[alikat]

Was that the one where he climbed all over their keeper? I thought it was a foul at the time and was very surprised it was given.

It was the defender that he seemed to climb over:

What ?

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Judge, close the thread

Trotta, close mouth lol

 

[WARFIELD BEE]

The one that puts us in the Premier League?

 

[Guildford Bee]

Trotta @ Orient
Douglas v Oldham
I always felt that Donaldson’s clincher to make it 3-1 at Peterborough on New Years Day felt like a big goal as well.

Donaldson at home to Peterborough, last minute winner in a 3-2 win was pretty crucial as well.

 

[kaebess]

Not the most important but up there for confidence in my eyes was the Dallas winner away at Blackpool. It gave the club and team a lot of beleif after the draw at home and the 1 nil away defeat at Bournemouth (when no one at the time realised they would be promoted )that they could compete in this league, but I never dreamed of finishing 5th then.

You just have.

 

[brianb]

Go on Youtube , watch that goal again and then watch the reaction in the paddock of a well known GPG poster from up the M1. Totally understandable after watching years of dross and we had scored a last minute winner against one of the Championship " big boys "

If you can watch a video of this look out for the young lad in the wheel chair. Unbelievable celebration. The wheels come off the ground. I watched it time and time again just to watch him.

 

[brianb]

Got to go with Trotters goal at the Orient. They fizzled out after our win and we went from strength to strength. And we are still surprising the likes of Norwich and Aston Villa.

 

[No_sting_Bee]

Yannaris and judge are the only ones left from the promoted squad?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Josh Clarke?

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Probably the Trotta goal at Orient that I think made me and many others I suspect realise at the final whistle that we were going to make it this time?

Indeed. The old brentford would have lost that game.

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Agreed.

Can't see beyond Judge. It WAS the goal that got us promoted regardless of other games we had played before or games remaining.

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

Without question its trotta at orient...that win was bigger than enormous at the time and we havent looked back since

 

[Bungy Bee]

All of them.......You Reds...

 

[JPince]

Without question its trotta at orient...that win was bigger than enormous at the time and we havent looked back since

Indeed, i celebrated like we'd won the cup.

 

[ruislip bee]

Indeed, i celebrated like we'd won the cup.

Yep me too. Ten men, we only need ten me!

 

[No_sting_Bee]

The winning goal against hull last game of season to snatch 2nd place!

 

[Delbee]

I always think it’s the next one we score

 

[sonofabee]

The winning goal against hull last game of season to snatch 2nd place!

Of course it was the most important goal in recent history.

 

[No_sting_Bee]

Swap history with future or ask me again in june.

 

[To Bee Someone]

Has to be Judge's one at Preston. Though Trotta at Orient(because we'd never won there for years) or Dougie v Crawley (because all the results went our way that night) were vital in getting us over the line.

 

[sonofabee]

Swap history with future or ask me again in june.

lol I hope you are right

 

[BAGSHOT DAVE]

WARBURTON OUT OUT OUT

 

[Alan D]

The winning goal against Wolves tomorrow night.
