To be fair, March did play well in those positions.
[Albion] Solly March, local lad and Premier League star, is f***ing brilliant

Is he going to be out after Christmas?
He was there today
Noises are that he left after 30 mins, muttering “I could've sworn Conor Coady played for Wolves…”He was there today

You need to be fair here,... his end product has always been 'iffy'..... he was just starting to improve under Potter I think it was and he got crocked, he came back slower and seemingly reluctant to take anyone on, always just stopping and passing backwards or sideways.... BUT.... RDZ seems to have got him playing to his strengths, he does still have bursts of speed and an eye for goal.... long may it continue.

Agreed, as I posted similar on the match day thread at HT but ended up looking a mug. Very happy to do so as well
I heard he was there to watch Dawson.

He does generally lack composure in front of goal. The longer he has to pick his spot the more the doubt seems to set in. When he has to take the shot instinctively he's always been much better, and I think that really showed yesterday - two incredible, instinctive finishes.

I have said this countless times before.
His end product has never been iffy.
The playing style under Hughton and Potter just didn't highlight his strengths.
He had his attacking intent coached out of him in the first 2 seasons in the Prem.
Then Potter's painfully slow build up and lack of players in the box, made his wing play far less valuable.
RDZ's fast attacking style, is finally showcasing, the talent he always had.
RDZ highlighted March as one of our most important players, days after he signed for us.
That wasn't because he had no end product.
Finally having a manager who wants him to play to his strengths is the difference.

He is fulfilling the potential that was always there. That run of matches in the Championship including the appearance at Birmingham (as a sub?) before that bad injury. Brighton fans shouldn’t be surprised at his ability. He has been consistently under rated because we have risen through the leagues and people want shiny new players at every step up.

Interesting to see that Southgate was in attendance yesterday and his thoughts but i simply can't see Solly taking his club form to the England set-up as clearly two different styles of play. I just think that Southgate would stifle him ?
England are so stacked in that position I just can’t see it
Yes with seriously world class players. Solly is good but not that good !!

10 goals from 7.1xG is some turnaround from the pre-RDZ era!
As much as his finishing has improved, it's his movement that's got him a lot of those goals - spotting an opportunity and then busting a gut to arrive in the area at just the right time to get on the end of a slide-rule pass or cross. I can think of about 5 or 6 along those lines off the top of my head this year.

Yes. His goals yesterday were because he had more desire to get in the box than the Wolves defender had to get back. Interestingly they were more the type of goals you would expect to see from an out and out striker rather than a cut inside sort of winger
