Chris Solly is a fantastic defender.0 -
Doncaster also play the long ball quite a lot, and Dijksteel is better than Solly in the air by a long way1
-
Good to have him back though. Even if it will be on the bench.2
-
Dijksteel deserves to keep him place, but Solly is still a decent player at least in this league. Not being as good as he was doesn’t make him a poor player.6

I am sure Chris will feature on the bench if fit as he is still an important part of the set up......let’s hope so as he deserves nothing less.
Christopher James Solly.....what might have been, had his chips & peas not let him down.0 -
Dijksteel for me definitely gets the nod on Friday and if we make it Wembley. Great to have Solly as cover and would definitely have him on the bench but not starting at the moment.1
-
I was one of his biggest critics when he first came in but AD has to stay in now1
-
What we need is the speed and athleticism of Dijksteel ..... combined with the reading of the game, spirit and tenacity of Solly.

In the 4 games Solly had been suspended we've let in 1 goal and scored 12. I'm sure AD will play.
Indeed it'll be tough fitting Solly onto the bench, Page might be most at risk.1 -
I think Solly will play as he's going to be fresh after his ban, and also Bowyer will say he's got the experience, but i wouldn't change the back four nor would i have done yesterday either, but Bowyer picks the team not me.2

Out for two weeks0

Congratulations. Solly's place in our hall of fame is secure. He will be frustrated at being out for two weeks I'm sure, but it is something the game has got right. If you damage an external part of your body you react to it, but you can't see inside your head. It is better to be safe than sorry later on in life.1

Should surpass Richard Rufus and Nicky Johns this season if he plays another 24-games

He was playing really well and wanted to carry on and was repeatedly saying he was OK......but he had been down flat out for 4 or 5 minutes.
Concussion is a strange one, you feel right as rain one minute and that you’re Ok to carry on as normal, the next your head swims and you feel varying degrees of dizziness, depending on how bad the initial concussion was......it usually lasts for a few days even if it’s only a mild injury.3 -
When I played football, I was severely concussed in a game. My left eye swelled up like a boxer's too and I couldn't see out of it. I didn't feel with it at all, but played on with a wet sponge in my hand. I look back on that and really wish I hadn't. Will it come back to kick me in the teeth later in life? It was reckless and stupid and I sort of knew it at the time, but the game was all important even though it was a nothing game. Solly is fortunate that he plays at a level where others make that decision for him as he would have been straight back on the pitch yesterday if it was up to him. When his career ends, he will be pleased they did that.6

I got hit in the temple by a cricket ball about 35 years ago. I carried on playing for a few overs. Then realised everything had gone 2 dimensional! I had no depth perception at all. (Not the best condition to be in with a hard leather ball flying around at about a million miles an hour!) So, I took myself off the pitch and took myself off to casualty...0

Have thought about it a number of times and feel a bit let down that I was allowed to carry on, was only 14 or 15 as well.0 -

Smith subsequently overnight started showing more symptoms of concussion, showing how wrong it was that he resumed batting yesterday3 -

The assessment of head injuries at most sporting events is laughable and not fit for purpose - they should err on the side of caution and protect the player. The right decision was made for Solly.2 -
