Come on leaps and bound over the last few weeks, he’s clear a confidence player.
Good to see him taking people on and beating them, seems to be getting stuck in on people as well now

If you can't beat him...
...you'll have to resort to this.

Back in his natural position Solly has got his game back. Not been the easiest season for him but to have stuck at it and work his way back to form is tremendous.

I think he might have moved up a level in recent weeks. I recall a few years back I did not think much of his ability and was slagging him off in the stands in a game against Cardiff. Second half he came out and he was like a totally different player - well and truly shut me up... It feels like a similar step-up/improvement has taken place now.
Perhaps the games he has played out of position have given him that little bit more experience and made him feel even more confident in his normal role on the wing. Lets face it he has been sublime since moving back to Right Midfield.

This.
Whilst his form has been in and out, based on current form Solly is arguably our best wide player (given that Knockaert is on the bench).

I think Dunk got called over to calm down March.
Who had been giving some verbals to Zaha after Zaha had been whingeing about being fairly challenged, frequently.

Ah yes I saw Dunk being called over...it seemed for an extraordinarily long time

Remember that game...and it all started when he begun to ''put his foot in''....he was up against Fabio(?) who just couldn't get near him
Tough one to call, as I think Izzy is brilliant when on form too, and Knocky ain't half bad. AJ could be great yet, he's not been here long.
March being a confidence player isn't breaking news, we knew that when he suddenly improved in the game against Cardiff back in the Championship, and no doubt we will still see some poor performances from him. The same seems to be true of all of our wingers, so let's be thankful we have a great group of them who will push each other and all get a chance at some point.

I think that is true of all wingers.
they are only considered to be having a good game if they are tearing up the opposition.
March is a much subtler player than the other three wingers we have, but much more consistent.
IMO he gets picked regularly because he does the job asked of him, which stifles him a bit.
He rarely has a bad game, but equally he rarely lights up the game in the way AK and Izzy can.

I thought he was our best player in the 2nd half. Superb! Bissouma edged him out overall, but i thought he was magnificent

As CH said, he just needs to add goals to his CV. Shame his long-ranger was blocked in second half. It might have been row Z bound but if it's on target...
it was noticeable that when Knocky came on ... he stayed on the left and March stayed on the right .. maybe at last CH sees what I believe is that March is much better on the right side and Knocky although prefers the right did a good job on the left .. food for thought

Huge credit to March, for realising he could improve and then doing it. Obviously as a local lad you were desperate for him to cut it at Premier League level, but I'll admit to a couple of doubts at the start of the season over things like decision-making and final delivery. But he has clearly worked on those things with the coaching staff, much like Dunk a couple of years ago began to cut out the silly mistakes, rash tackles and bookings to put himself into a different bracket.

Your support is not that great
I think we saw a more physical side to Solly's game last night. Loved the way he got stuck into Zaha.
He's a player who can produce amazing moments out of nothing, and occasionally make nothing come from an amazing situation.
But getting better all the time.

strong and stable with me, or...
I've always thought he has shirked a tackle. Looked timid when he should be physically committing. Couldn't say that about him last night though. He got right up Zaha's nose, and judging by the pictures on the other thread, Zaha should have been sent off.

I seem to remember [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] (I think) saying that the club hierarchy predicted this could be Solly's breakthrough season. Looks like that might be coming true. Learning and being around the new recruits who – let's face it – look to be upgrades, could be paying dividends...
