Yeah, that was the game I spoke to him at. Fair play to him turning up in the rain to watch his team in Division 4 East of the SCL though.

[Albion] Solly March, local lad and Premier League star, is f***ing brilliant
- Thread starter Husty
- Start date
Any idea on when Solly's likely to be making a return? We need some talent on the right wing. Minteh out of his depth and Adingra had a poor game today.
Hopefully not too much longer. If hes even 85% of the player he was before the injury he walks into that RW role for me.

It’s amazing fans give March 11 seasons to score seven goals and think he’s the nuts. 19 year old (obvious talent) Minteh is decided to be out of his depth after five games in league he’s not used to
More a case of Minteh not being ready for EPL yet. Solly will need quite a few weeks/matches to get match fit.It’s amazing fans give March 11 seasons to score seven goals and think he’s the nuts. 19 year old (obvious talent) Minteh is decided to be out of his depth after five games in league he’s not used to

Everton/Arsenal I thought he was superb. Hasn’t managed to light up the Amex as yet it will come. Didn’t we spend £25m on Gruda who’s meant to be the German Palmer?
March had opportunities because, quite often, we didn't have better. That said, his last few seasons he has been matured and become the player we all hoped he would be. Fully fit, I'd play him ahead of both Adingra and Minteh.It’s amazing fans give March 11 seasons to score seven goals and think he’s the nuts. 19 year old (obvious talent) Minteh is decided to be out of his depth after five games in league he’s not used to

The problem isn’t Minteh but the fact the club signed Minteh for £30m~ where as we signed Solly from Lewes for as good as free and made him “one of our own”.
Minteh’s price tag comes with pressure and that’s a shame for him and us as it is very hard to look beyond that. I think once he settles in a bit more and the fans forget about top 6 / Europe it’ll be easier for all the new signings to play with a bit more freedom. There was a fluidity to Minteh in preseason which he doesn’t seem to have atm but I suppose we should remember he got a knock in games week 1, as well.
RDZ told March he was brilliant and suddenly he was brilliant. Scored more goals in a few months than previous years. Seven of his 21 league goals were all scored in one of his eleven seasons.

I fear that there is a degree of over optimism that 30-year-old March is going to come back as good as was before his injury this time last year.

its no suprise Minteh will not look as good at home as away where he has some pitch to run into and teams are not camped on the edge of there box.
The same goes for all our attacking players
Minteh will start at Chelsea for sure and rightly so.

Going completely off-topic, I saw the film “Lee” this week (about photographer Lee Miller) which made me poke around Wikipedia for info of the artistic set at Farley Farm in Chiddingly. There’s an apocryphal story of Picasso in 1950 going into the Six Bells offering to pay for his pint with a drawing. The landlord refused suggesting he pay with money like everyone else…….

Surprised Solly not given minutes as an overage player?
This is great news but makes the signing of all three of Gruda, Minteh and Rutter even odder. A squad that has too many options at RW or RF but falls to bits when one centre back gets injured isn’t balanced.

Great to hear. Much prefer this thread title though - used to make me smile when it appeared on the front page!

Don't care how well he plays otherwise. Pointless having a man on there who can't deliver a corner beyond the first man and will never put the ball in the net. The fans and the rest of the team deserve better. Prove me wrong sully!

I saw a Lee Miller photo exhibition here in Almería a few months back. Really interesting, especially the WWII war era shots.
