cambridgeshire canary 7,445 Posted February 10 (edited) I'm sure we remember Sargents slow attempt that did not get into the net, and quite a few of Idahs misses but..

Danke bitte 1,108 Posted February 10 Does RvW’s ‘ghost pass’ at Fulham count? I think Snoddy or Elmander was clear through on goal and he passes to no one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 5,618 Posted February 10 A Wes penalty springs to mind. His last one I think. I also remember Alan Brazil missing one for Ipswich 5 minutes from time in front of the Barclay in a cup tie. We won 1-0. I hope it haunts him to this day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don’t be Krul 442 Posted February 10 I saw Simon Whaley once completely miss the ball with an attempted pass in a reserve game. He was unquestionably one of THE worst players I've ever seen in yellow n green. Poor Sunday league player at best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 6,899 Posted February 10 There was a hilarious goal against Aston Villa which I've never seen on YouTube since - Darren Eadie hit the post with an open net gaping after everyone else piled into a cross and missed, then Mike Sheron hit the bar with Paul McGrath in front of him on the rebound. Shot came in which was shovelled off the line then a cross came in for Mike Milligan to score with a diving header. Two bad misses and one of the best stramashes I've ever seen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 5,419 Posted February 10 Don't remember the opposition but do remember Tim Sherwood skying the ball over the bar from about three yards with the keeper nowhere. I remember the smug look on his face as he took the shot - "look at me, I'm about to score" - which swiftly changed to ground-swallow-me-up embarrassment. He was really annoying even when he played for us, so I quite enjoyed it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh that cute little dink from wes was horrid. How about the scuff from harry kane when he was through? We all knew he would amount to nothing at that point 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you could criticise Ullathorne for not making sure his back pass was aimed away from the goal, given the conditions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 4,131 Posted February 10 Why the hell did he go with his right foot?? It was utterly unmissable with a left foot, I refuse to believe a so called professional is that useless with a weaker foot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Six Pack 105 Posted February 11 We have had our share of horrible misses through the years, but the most disappointing miss that stays in my memory was from 1990 where we drew 0-0 with Liverpool at home. We hardly lose to them in those days and goal scoring chances were hard to come by. Late in the 2nd half a cross comes in from the right evading the Liverpool keeper at the near post, Malcolm Allen slid in unmarked from 6 yards with the entire goal at his mercy, but only managed to divert the ball back in the direct the ball came, straight into the grateful hands of the Liverpool keeper who was on the ground next to the post ! Absolutely unfortunate ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'd break the net nowadays. Confidence, and they say players don't read this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
