If the just turned 26 lad was really no good, he wouldn't have 90 Premier League appearances under his belt having served under 2 different managers. There has been plenty of competition for his position, so your own conclusions are countered by both Chris Hughton and Graham Potter.
I seem to...
This is perhaps where I am then, a position such as wing-back might be ideal for him, which is where I might be seeing such strong performances such as the first half against Southampton.
Got to say, Solly taken a big step forwards under Potter’s coaching, and definitely has moved up the pecking order as the season reached his close.
He seems:
a) more willing to take on his man
b) confident to spray a ball from one wing to the another (see Burnley 1st half).
c) strong in defence...
