[Albion] Solly March Tonight

[seagulls99]

More than solid enough to put me at ease about us signing a LWB. We really really need a striker don’t we...

I thought he did well tonight overall, and I quite like him.
But when you compare him to Lamptey, he's pretty average.

 

[Simster]

For all the talk about needing a striker, our best chance fell to a centre back. I mean how on earth did Dunk miss that?

Thought he played well. No one to aim at when he does cross the ball.

Very true but then you ask me which player I went that chance to fall to? I choose Dunk every time. You win some, you lose some.

We’ve must be more clinical against the stronger opposition though

I know it’s not fashionable with many, but I thought he had a good game and will be a regular under Potter IMO. Not saying he’ll start every week, but he works very hard, solid defensively and does enough going forward. If he was skinning players with ease and putting in superb crosses all the time, he wouldn’t be with us.

Thought Solly was our second best player tonight, after Little Lamptey, obviously.

I also thought you could see his confidence grow when he went past the 2 Chelsea players in the beginning of the second half.

 

[Sheebo]

He did alright but didn’t have the confidence to attack enough. He’s always a 6/7 out of 10 for me. We def need another LWB to give competition as Potter doesn’t seem to rate Bernardo.

Picasso's Guernica is pretty average when compared to Lamptey.

Liking Solly March is like voting Tory. The minority of people who don't like him shout very very loudly about it, but most of us are quietly happy when he gets picked every week.

Sollyd performance tonight.

Think he'll be a regular this season and not let us down.

Hope he gets involved in the goals more often though.

Written 2 minutes too early on another thread:-


March's main problem is Lamptey on t'other side.

It seems somewhat unlikely the Albion can 'discover' a LWB that won't be overshadowed by our RLB.


I found Solly as entertaining as I did frustrating, so no great change there.
Would love to now see an identical performance v Newcastle.

A foothold to believe in.

Quite . . . . I'm shit at headers, but it just needed heading . . . .

Duffy would have taken the keepers teeth out with that.

 

[vagabond]

Solly was brilliant tonight.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Solly looked solid, but we desperately need quality up top.

This. Both March and Lamptey cannot hold the ball forever and so are forced into making a cross that, I imagine, neither would choose to make, just because we lack the attacking players making space in goal scoring positions.

To me it seems a tactical mismatch between having wingers/wingbacks who can make a run into the corner, beat their man and (generally) make a cross, and then not having anyone in a viable position.

Natural, instinctive, goal scorer required before *another* window shuts leaving us with a dearth of goal scoring options.

Picasso's Guernica is pretty average when compared to Lamptey.

It's horses for courses really. Lamptey falls short when trying to express the pain, chaos and anguish of civil war. Yet Guernica really struggles to beat a couple and put a ball into the danger area.

Good performance from him, just like in the pre-season games. I barely missed the beautiful Dan Burn.

Love this

What a bizarre analogy

Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone compare liking a footballer to voting for a political party.
