Needs to calm down when he gets into good positions but the fact that he getting into these positions is excellent...
I've been impressed with this. He looks slight, but has beaten opponents a good few times by either sheer body strength, or by shielding a running ball with his body. He's also done some robust defensive work.
Looks very skilful, has some pace but is not lightning quick, has a good shot, just needs a bit more vision and composure with his passing, and needs to impose himself a little more on the game. Hopefully these last two will come with experience.
Think the 'Sully' (Peter O'Sullivan) song from the 70's and 80's could be resurrected.
to Gracie Fields - Sally
he is considered by the management team to be the most skillfull player on our books
Jesus Christ, could the North Stand really hit those high notes?
What about resurrecting the Nicky Rust song to the tune of Feeling Hot?
Ole, ole.
Ole, ole, Solly March March March.
Skills will only take you so far.Odd because havnt the players like Andrews suggested Kemy is the most skillful.
Wondered how good he is?
The only comparison I have is to Noone but I think Solly looks stronger and has a better cross. Either way, he will be a huge player for us next season
For a small guy his strength is good because he has such a low centre of gravity, he uses his body well to shield the ball if he has to. He's very much in the Noone mould rather than Buckley or Kaz - doesn't have lightning pace but his ball control is superb, twisting and turning in tight spaces to find room to break into, rather than running directly at a full back. With a few more games and experience his composure in the final third should develop, as he's put in a couple of superb crosses, but then shanked a couple out of play too - perhaps just a little excitable as it's still early days in his career. Overall he's a fantastic prospect - it'll be interesting to see how he does when he drops out of the XI again - which he will when Buckley/Kaz are both back fit - may bring him back to earth and be good for him in the long run as he'll have to work even harder to get back in again, it'll make him a better player.
He is 5ft 11...hardly a small guy!!!
