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

[um bongo molongo]

Don't think I've ever been happier to see an Albion player do what so many of us always thought he was capable of

I’d hold my hands up and say I didn’t think he was capable of his current performances. I’ve always rated him as a good ‘company man’ - versatile, hard worker, solid, but never as a regular starter let alone one of our best players. I said if RDZ taught him how to shoot he really is a genius. Well…

Perhaps new psychological work, in keeping the mind calm in the moment?

With the goal at Stains lifting the weight off his mind.

Best player on the pitch by some margin ahead of Estupinan and their keeper

 

[Ding Dong !]

First name on the team sheet now, so much confidence and starting to find the net. Flourishing under RDZ and long may it continue.

 

[Shooting Star]

What a legend, must have felt incredible for a Sussex lad to get a goal at Selhurst and celebrate with the Albion fans, shushing the Palace lot in the process. Magnificent performance. Love you Solly!

Aside from the goals he's been scoring, his all round play has been amongst the best in our side, if not the best.

He seems to have mastered taking on his marker, with the confidence he currently has.

Really unbelievable stuff from the boy we bagged from Lewes FC, becoming one of the top performers in the Premier League.

 

[Triggaaar]

Ok, he’s won me over. It’s taken several years and some good performances and goals in the last couple of seasons, but I think he’s finally starting to look like he belongs at this level.

Belongs at which level? We were a lower level PL side and you didn't think he belonged there. Well you were right, he's better than that.

 

[Triggaaar]

I’d hold my hands up and say I didn’t think he was capable of his current performances.

To be honest I'm not sure any of us expected him to be this good. A lot of us simply thought he was better than some others gave him credit for.

 

[MattBackHome]

He was utterly extraordinary today. Superb performance and the best I've ever seen from him, I think.

How does this happen?

 

[Bodian]

Such a shame we weren't able to score from his nutmeg and Mitoma-like dribble to put the ball along the face of the goal.

 

[Solid at the back]

He knows the importance of this fixture. Great celebration

 

[Uh_huh_him]

He knows the importance of this fixture. Great celebration

Yeah - Kicking the corner flag was a nice touch.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Any videos of his goal?

 

[portslade seagull]

He was unlucky with the timing of his injury when he was also in a good run of form. Easily England standard performances but would Southgate ever pick him

 

[METALMICKY]

Such a shame we weren't able to score from his nutmeg and Mitoma-like dribble to put the ball along the face of the goal.

That was superb and shame they didn't show it on the Match of the Day highlights.

So much for Potter's emotional intelligence and supposed man management skills? It's RDZ who has got the best from Solly and got his confidence flowing which we all knew was the key.

 

[Icy Gull]

Now fulfilling the promise he has always had and made him the most frustrating Albion player I have ever seen, when he kept under performing. Fantastic to see him full of confidence and doing what most of us knew he was capable of.

I had written him off not that long ago, loving being wrong.

I've always liked Solly and yes, he's missed some sitters but he always gives 100%. He has improved since Roberto came and is showing he is very much a top Premier league player.

I remember this from when RDZ first started …how true!

Best player on the pitch on Saturday. A flawless display apart from that corner which was shocking but so lols it's hard to criticise.

 

[Badger Boy]

I don't think I've ever been shut up as dramatically, loudly and comprehensively as Solly has managed over the last month and a half. I thought the missed penalty at Charlton was just about the final straw. I had basically given up on him at that point and then all of a sudden he absolutely trousers in a beauty at Southampton and has been on fire ever since. It's an incredible turnaround and he looks every part a top PL player now - the criticism was always that there wasn't a final product and the team couldn't possibly progress without him/whoever played on the right of the attack scoring and creating goals. He's scoring and creating, game by game.

On the plus side, it's a further endorsement of my assessment that Potter was massively holding back the team. I honestly don't believe he could have extracted this form from Solly, he had plenty of time to and never managed it. In sweeps RDZ to change the focus of the team and all of a sudden, he can't stop performing.
