[Albion] Solly March untouchable ?

[sussex_guy2k2]

I really don't get your comment that he has been asked to play essentially as a left full back. Bong almost never overlaps and if he does it will be in the last third of the pitch meaning March is far from covering his full back position. I also don't agree that he is aiming for one man in the box as I don't know what games your are watching but by the time March has slowed the game down to then burst past the full back there is normally plenty of support in or around the box.

He has talent but his decision making is very poor. In my view it was wrong to take of Knockaert as he had just set up Murray and the team were driving forward. He was contributing more than March had all game. If anything, put Knockaert on the left and Ali on the right.

You need to watch football more carefully buddy. Knockaert on the left would have the same issues March has in that he'd become much more one dimensional going on the outside and closing the room off for an overlapping full back - plus, go and look at their heat maps from the weekend, where you'll see March does substantially more defensive work than Knockaert does. And I disagree it was the wrong decision to take Knockaert off. He was a red card waiting to happen quite frankly.

And how many goals do our midfielders get from breaking into the box from crosses? If they get 5 a season I'd be shocked. And I don't include Gross in this who is basically a second striker (and he often pulls out wide anyway to be the man putting crosses in! Rarely do we have more than one man in there. At most 2. It's just the pragmatic way we play in midfield and it results in less goals from crosses.

Anyway, we disagree. That's fair enough

Id like to see knockaert on the left before I made that judgement.
However Jose will assume the left position when fit

Enjoy the competition I say, it will make all our wide men better.

I agree re competition I do imagine that would be the case though. And I'd like to see March on the right more as I think it's a much better fit for his characteristics. But I don't see either happening any time soon.

They switched regularly Saturday, especially first half.

Yes all the subs did ok. Bissouma, Ali/j (not attempting to spell his name) and locadia. Ali/J put in a couple of good crosses one for locadia which brourght out a good save from their keeper. Alot of people are saying Locadia doen't care, he clearly does when ever he does something wrong u can tell hes upset. Im sure hel'l come good as long as fans give him a chance and support him, that applies to a lot of our players support them dont constantly critisize. As much as we'd like to be we are not Barcelona, Real madrid or Man city.

This. We don't buy narcissistic silly buggers any more. Jurgen may be a bit flash but he wouldn't be in the squad if he didn't give a toss.

They did. But more as a result of turnovers from corners and they just stayed in those positions. Still, it's something I'd like to see more regularly.

Four assists - FOUR! - for Solly in the last three away games. Bloody hell!

Sussex born-and-bred lad doing well for Albion - what's not to love?

Just tucking into a large slice of humble pie over here. Wasn't impressed earlier in the season, but last few games he's done the business.

After the assists it’s almost like he’s starting believing in his ability and actively was taking people on and beating them

2 great crosses for the goals today. More of that on Tuesday please!

 

[British Bulldog]

I think some people forget we did sign him from non league? after playing for England U21's he's now providing assists in the Premier League? Not bad for lad we signed from Lewes?

 

[Saunders]

I have been moaning about him but he was fantastic today. I really liked how quickly he worked with Bruno for the first goal.

Hopefully we are all now looking froward to Tuesday....with both us and Palarse winning it sets it up nicely

Can’t argue with Solly’s contribution today. About time though.
