Jordan Shipley – Bolton Wanderers v SHREWSBURY TOWN – October 5: Shipley had practised sitting back to take a Funso Ojo corner in space outside the area, yet even on the training pitch he surely can’t have caught his left-foot shot with such sweet timing.

Mallik Wilks – Peterborough United v ROTHERHAM UNITED – October 12: There seemed no danger when Wilks took the ball tight by the touchline. He didn’t hesitate, setting off at pace, chopping the ball inside and sending a fierce grasscutter into the far corner.

Lewis Wing – READING v Crawley Town – October 19: Even with Wing’s reputation as a sharp shooter, Crawley’s players felt safe 30 yards out. That was until he unleashed a piledriver that barely lost any velocity on its way into the top corner.

The supporters' votes will be combined with the choices from a panel to determine the winners, with the judging panel comprising of Sky Sports’ EFL experts Don Goodman & David Prutton.
