My number 1 would have been the win over QPR to seal promoti0n, but it was not an option.

Yep, that's an obvious one. Was a great day... Watching on the screen beforehand and then seeing Sam get us up!

Sorry about that.

Top 5 for me would be the following

1 Sam's winner V QPR.
2 The 1-0 win at Preston.
3 3rd goal V Brighton which earned us a 2-2 draw.
4 Michael Keane again amidst the fierce rivalry from Boro.
5 Icing on the cake at Charlton (all the hard work and graft to be celebrated).

If Sam's promotion goal isn't available move everything up one and the new No 5, still from the Championship would be the comeback at Fulham. I'm sure if I chose another 1-5 tomorrow it would probably be different. Enjoyed that. Good idea.

Apologies for not including the QPR game. I think it goes without saying that it would be up there!

The Liverpool win was special after such a long wait, and the bonus was two fantastic goals from Vokes and Gray.

Can't argue with that. The Liverpool game was one of my five selections.

So many good things to opt for up there.
Feel like a kid in a sweet shop!!

Says just how far we've come that beating Wrovers at the Turf didn't make my top five. 8-)

I'll have to go for Brighton (a), Boro (h), Preston (a) and Derby (h) in that order.

And yes, I do have a soft spot for the Championship!

I think it's an absolutely glorious indicator of how far we've come that the Blackburn win at home is hanging on to the top 3 by a thread.

It would have been the absolute zenith of our hopes and aims in years gone by

Just voted and my first was the win at Preston .Great day out in Preston the constant wall of noise the result which all but guaranteed promotion and the defeat of the superiors. EDIT I think this brilliant poll should run for a couple of weeks though into Jan so others can reflect.
