I confidently predict that in 12-24 months time we'll sell Solly March for £5M+ to a Premiership club. He has so much potential. He just needs the game time to develop it to full effect. The last thing a young player needs is anyone knocking him every time he makes a mistake. Save the stick for some of our senior pros who also make mistakes but arguably should know better. Keep up the good work Solly.

OK. So do you want a £20 wager on this - loser makes a payment to the REMF?

He was average at best

In the first half he was tackled way too often, but tried hard and the second half was much improved. Based on last night's performance, if we get that winger we're looking to agreeably spend quite big on then I think he will lose out in the battle for second winger with Kaz, who has goals and power in him when his mind is right.

I don't feel that Solly performed well enough to earn any plaudits last night, but wouldn't say he played terribly either. Having seen him last weekend against Sevilla and last night, my biggest question mark about him at the moment is the quality of his delivery / final ball. Yes, he shows good pace down the wings, yes he gets into good positions, but sadly I'm not seeing anything of an end product with a final delivery in terms of service into the box / forwards. I'm hoping this is being worked on with him and that we'll see this element of his game greatly improve over the coming months.

Don't wait for me!
First 20 minutes he couldn't get into it but he improved. He'll be replaced when or if we buy a decent winger though.
I think he did well, he is clearly an exciting talent.
Most exciting of all was watching us play with 2 out and out wingers though. I hope we keep that up.

Jury out for me - has potential but very one footed and critically lacks pace - let's hope he stays fit and his career takes off

If Solly can work on his right foot and improve the same way Kaz has developed his left, he will have a good future. He did have a slow start but grew into the game. All he needs to do is stay injury free and get as many games as he can under his belt.
He's a local lad with bags of potential. What's not to like? I'm delighted to have him as one of four wingers. Wide men always pick up injuries and go in and out of form. He'll get plenty of games this season. I'm looking forward to watching him develop.

This is very much it. He is a promising squad player who will get plenty of game time and contribute. It also needs to be borne in mind that Forest should be in upper half of the division this season and were not the easiest of opponents.

I thought he played well and was a threat. He looked quite sore at the end though. He'll get more robust as he gets older/plays more games.

I don't agree that he was 'terrible', but he is too lightweight, needs to toughen up a bit. He ran into too many blind alleys, and was knocked off the ball too easily. At critical times too, he tended to take the wrong option.
Hopefully given a run of games, and he will improve.

Remind me to reply to this post again in 12-24 months time, because I'm sorry, but I think your are wrong. A Premier League club won't part with anything like that kind of money for him.

You'd think he'd train with his right foot so he could do something with it.
