[Albion] Solly March

[Bozza]

You only have to read the thread to see the comments about him.

Maybe it would have been better to reply to those, instead of choosing my post which does nothing of the sort.

Hope this helps.

I suspect Solly will find more space to operate in during the rest of the season as opposition teams become more fixated on nullifying Lamptey.

The way he has been hacked down from various players in both games so far, he’ll be very lucky not to sustain a nasty injury. I am still pissed off that Biss went off for a foul he never intended whereas that thug Shelvey had every intention to injure Lamptey and stayed on the pitch. Lamptey was targeted for crunching tackles wasn’t he?

You can rely on Managers telling their players to “get” Lamptey as his stock improves, sadly

They will have to catch him first

Well, no. As you made the comment about him being gutted Lamptey was playing so well. That does not make him look bad, but people are not seeing how well he is playing because of Lamptey. Which is crazy.

I made a joke that given how Solly is perceived by many, it's sod's law that when he's looking in really good nick, most of the attention is being paid to the fella on the other side of the pitch.

Sorry it passed you by. I'll use a smilie or something next time to help the hard of thinking.

That came down to experience on how to kick a player up in the air and get away with it, Biss used naivety and got punished for it.

Who gives a toss if it were a joke or not?!

Back to Solly March. Good performance again. Seems more confident in the LWB position. He really does have a nice 1st touch. Way too good to sell as surplus to requirements. Hopefully the Lamptey performances are giving him a standard to compete with. Hoping March becomes our number 1 LWB for along time now.

I've been saying for bloody ages that Solly would be a great left wing back. His play is perfect for it. So pleased he is getting an extended run in that position now. Hope Potter sticks with it.

I agree he's been doing really well. It seems obvious that this is GP's preferred way of playing and Solly has the chance of making that LWB berth his own this season.

I still think he could be more dangerous with the final stages of his moves. If we had two wing backs fizzing crosses into the box, or winning penalties, or finding the net, we'd be even more of a nightmare to play against than we proved to be yesterday. I suppose the benchmark is Robertson/Alexander-Arnold at LFC.

We all know Solly can do those things, but it would be great to see it happen more often.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The commentator made the point about Solly being versatile and slotting into the midfield seamlessly when we changed formation.

His versatility is a key attribute nd will see him stay at the club for a good while yet.

So, to sum up, Solly is a bang average player who isn't good enough for the EPL but is an important part of our squad and is really good.
