[Albion] Solly March, local lad and Premier League star, is f***ing brilliant

[Swansman]

Ah yes, the usual - you're only as good as your last performance and pretend that because he had an excellent game today and penaltied one in from 25 yards, he's suddenly proven everyone wrong. He hasn't. He has to score more than one per season and keep putting in dangerous deliveries. In his defence, his lack of assists is only partly his fault. He gets one today after an amateurish moment from an amateurish goalkeeper but he's put in multiple crosses which deserved an assist previously but weren't finished.

Good for him - hopefully he can turn it around ala Almiron. Doubt it.

Doesn't need to "turn it around". Anyone who isn't clueless has noticed that he's been one of the best, if not the best, player this season.

He was heavily involved in all three of our goals today.

 

[pocketseagull]

Doubt it.

why on earth would you want to be this rude? I don't get it.

…plus set up another great chance that should have been buried (Mitoma header)

 

[Oh_aye]

They patently know little about football.

He’s a dream for the full back behind him, fantastic for the midfield//forwards in link up play, driving us forward and a 90 minute nuisance for opponents.

That Saints fullback (who nearly made the England squad) will be seeing Solly in his nightmares for a while. The second he gets his skin outside back-in.

The internet attracts the spiteful, who always have to hate an Albion hero or two.

Two or three years back after reading a load of anti Solly trolling on nsc I got the false impression of a player loathed by half the fanbase.

Then at the next Amex game Solly warmed up as a sub, where the WSL (north end) and NS stood en masse to applaud him and sing his chant.

Giving perspective. Empty vessels make most noise.

To be fair to Mitoma, while it was a great chance, that's one of those that 9 times out of 10 has everybody with their head in their hands saying it should have been buried 9 times out of 10.
Probably a slight exaggeration, but people miss them one way or another more often than not.

He doesn't have to prove 'everyone' wrong. I suspect he proves some people wrong all the time.

Agree with this. March would be missed if out through injury more than some would like to admit

 

[twickers]

Solly March...he just is...and we love him.

 

[Weststander]

This has happened.

We were in a good run of form and won at Anfield with Solly MOTM, but he limped off and we didn’t win for the next 2 months. Missing his tenacity and drive.

[Cotton Socks]

Please don't merge this thread with the one that says Solly is s**t!!! He brings so much to the team, I will him on to score a goal like I'd do for my own kid.

I'm quoting myself here. I'm so pleased for him!!! I said on another thread that he's our secret 20 goal a season striker!!

 

[The Fits]

He's always had it in him.

 

[willalbion]

seems him and dunky have a very special bond...

That’s not a nice angle. Looks like he’s being given a wedgie

 

[LamieRobertson]

seems him and dunky have a very special bond...

Should watch the vid of that….Dunk almost throws him to the away support ….the players knew how much that meant to March an to score in such a special way

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Explains why he doesn't score as many as he should. Probably lives in fear of Dunk wedgies every time he plays

 

[Brok]

Someone on here wrote that Solly's goal was deflected. Just watched it a few times, and no way was there a deflection.
A superb strike, nothing less.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

After bagging your first goal in years and hitting a screamer how do you celebrate, that’s right a double date with the Veltmans via the drive through

 

[Weststander]

Another great EPL performance from Solly, defensively and creatively.

Deservedly starts every game, what a player.

And one of our own.
