In goal blocking shot (6)
I believe the answer is:
trendy
'in' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'goal blocking shot' is the wordplay.
'goal' becomes 'end' ('end' can be a synonym of 'goal').
'blocking' indicates putting letters inside.
'shot' becomes 'try' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'end' placed inside 'try' is 'TRENDY'.
(Other definitions for trendy that I've seen before include "Modish" , "Informally fashionable" , "With-it" , "Smart" , "following fashion" .)
