I have to say he was immense today, very very sound defensively and when he wanted to looked good going forward, put in some good crosses. Selection headaches, Frazer who?
Was solid today. Much better than he has been all pre-season.
However, he wasnt tested at all by the winger. I reserve judgement until he has had a run of games. Unfortunately, he wont get them because Francis is clearly Parky's first choice and will be in sooner than later.
People giving him MOM are way off the mark. McCormack for me.
He was tested by their winger two or three occasions. Dealt with him well. I agree that Francis is our first choice RB, so am happy with two decent right backs competing for one spot.

Harsh! You wanna get some sleep you grumpy sod
MOM by a mile for me. If he can keep that up he will be our best right back since Young.
Francis did well enough when he was on but on today's showing Solly's got to be first choice right-back. I was a bit worried by Solly's first 15-20 minutes but once he managed to settle he was our best defender and arguably best player today.

you need to get some sleep mate, it's clearly clouding your judgement, MOM by a mile, and all those knockers last week, sorry chaps as I said at the time and as Manuel says YOU KNOW NOTHING ;-)
i didnt know he had that in him tbh, i thought he was a great player in our yoof team i now know that the new kid has some real competion if he wants that shirt..

Just a little too lightweight for my liking at the moment.[/quote] The one thing he wasn't today was light weight! Can remember 2 occassions where he fought tooth and nail for the ball and came out on top. Tracked his winger well,watched the ball, not the man, and won, if not all, the majority of his headers. MOM for me, BUT!! Haven't seen Francis before( can;t say I remember him from the Southend game last year), He's the new Hreidarsson!
Wasn't there today but delighted the lad has his own thread. I've loved this guy since I first saw him at a youth game a couple of years ago. The word tenacious was designed for him and I'm really glad he played well today. Hope he's given Parky a selection headache

Francis is about 8 feet tall for a start.
However, he wasnt tested at all by the winger. I reserve judgement until he has had a run of games. Unfortunately, he wont get them because Francis is clearly Parky's first choice and will be in sooner than later.

I remember a season or two ago Parky saying the only reason he was still in League 1 was because of his height... or something along those lines.
Chris Solly i salute you tonight my man
