I think the main problem, like many that play in his position(s) is consistency.

He’s got every ingredient needed to make the LWB role his own apart from consistency and dare I say the self confidence to grab it.

Confidence is what Solly lacks most of all, his head goes down far too often, someone needs to put an arm around him and tell him that he CAN beat that defender and cross a ball.
He may well still look like a little boy, but he is a man now, and needs to show it.

Seeing as he has always been marketed as an attacking wide man, with the role of delivering 'ammo' for the strikers.... I will say that he has not lived up to the billing. If you are saying he is better as a defensive wide man, then yes, he is marginally value for money.... although asking him to head the ball is definitely a step too far for Solly

We must be watching a different player, as he does beat his man to send in crosses. The issue is that his crosses are mainly poor quality and result in nothing.
Perhaps l should have said cross a ball ACCURATELY!
Think it's fair to say many, like me, have always maintained he's got the talent but lacks the confidence to showcase his skills. I find him frustrating to watch as he has it in him to be so much better. He plays within himself.
Many are of the same opinion, he doesn't get slated often but I'm not sure of the correct motivation needed to get him up to it. I know someone who's son went to school with him and they remain very good friends. He has said he is very much the same away from football, not being overly confident. Perhaps it's in his dna and nothing will change it. That would be a great shame.

With the way we play we don’t really utilise crosses that much, and when we do we don’t use the sort of strikers who thrive on crosses. March has the ability to cross the ball but unless we get a little and large partnership up front or a tall bustling centre forward, he won’t get much chance to either improve or get game time.

Perfect fit for the LWB berth
If he's like me, he can cross accurately, consistently, any time he wants . . . . . . And has all the confidence in the world . . . . But not necessarily doing both things at the same time . . . . I'm naturally confident, but every now and then just get put on the spot and have a bit of a brain freeze. it's never important things, just daft stuff, like getting a grilling from the wife about buying guitars . . . . Maybe Solly has a similar affliction . .
Or maybe, like me, he just isn't good enough at football.
Hopefully he's not a bass player on the side.

I think all those stats show is what we already know, he is a very useful utility player who can come in and do a decent job when we need him to.
My frustration with March is I always hoped he had more potential than being the bit part player but truth be told he has never fully kicked on and convinced the managers we have had to make him a regular and consistent starter and performer for us.

Spot on, and I think the sensible majority agree.

I think we all believe that there's a good player in there somewhere, because we have seen evidence of it - that stunning goal in the friendly against Norwich, the game-turning substitute appearance at Birmingham, that low cross for Muzza's brilliant flicked goal against Manchester United. But we haven't seen it often enough.
Don't forget, though, that he had a bad injury (ruptured ACL) in 2015 and that has to be at the back of a player's mind. Perhaps he needs to have a DVD of his greatest moments played to him over and over again to remind himself what he is capable of.

He’ll do for me, not on the list of players I worry about when I see on the team sheet
Some great and detailed information in there. Very illuminating.
