It was closer than Harry Kane's

Frustrated fans look for a scapegoat! Never mind that Solly score the winning goal against Wigan to get us promoted to the PL, or scored a superb free kick at Millwall to get us into a penalty shootout to go to Wembley.
Solly, my favourite player.

He is a midfielder/forward, so not a big ask for him to get 3 or 4 goals a season?
Especially from 3 yards out...

a) it was being recorded more than others as it was due to be the winning kick
b) it's f***ing funny

*Thumped a free-kick wide which was thrown into his net by a garbage goalkeeper.

It went through the keepers hands, so it wasn’t an own goal.
It may have been a fluke but at least give him credit instead of being so mealy mouthed about it.

Why oh why oh why?
Went over us in row E.
But Gross and Trossard missed before him….
Gross paused twice during his run-up…. Rubbish
Trossard too cccky - also rubbish
So not just Solly

you know I was thinking like that at the start of the season, and I obviously do still want him to score, but there does come a point where it needs to be acknowledged that his finishing ability is not befitting of a premier league footballer, as opposed to just calling it bad luck every time and saying that he'll suddenly start scoring bucketloads eventually. not gonna happenI really want him to score a goal!!! He must score penalties in training otherwise they wouldn't have put him forward. I think he's our 20 goal a season striker but is lulling all the other teams into a false sense of security!
Yes but a broken clock is correct twice a day. The rest of the time it's useless. To give him credit for a game years ago it like saying get Connolly back and play him because he scored twice against Spurs. March misses far too many very good chances, it's irrelevant if he has made that chance himself. The positions he creates he should get 6 to 8 goals a season but fails.
You are spot on time to get an upgrade.

It wasn't a fluke. It was a terribly overhit free-kick, let's not pretend it was an act of genius. He gave the penalty a similar amount of clubbing.
In fairness, his mazy run through the defence was clearly the highlight last night and it's a shame he isn't able to do that more often as he might find himself scoring a goal a season or getting in a position to provide the sort of chance that can be scored by even our goalshy players.

He just needs one. Anything ...off his arse, a lucky deflection, a one inch tap in. This is definately in his head now. I feel for him as he does everything else so well.

14 goals in 253 games! A goal every 18 games on average, although that average is slipping dramatically and he may never score another goal but he keeps getting shots off so he is at least having a go.
