Brighton boss Potter happy to give March central role

Brighton boss Graham Potter is happy to give Solly March a central role.

For the draw with Burnley, Potter believes the contribution made by versatile March was a hint of what he should be offering on a more regular basis.

He said: “When he has too much time to think, I'm not sure it's the best for him. We spoke about that.

“I think he's got talent, he's a good player, he has got quality.

“He just needs to play with a bit of freedom.

“If you look at the last two or three games, he has played left wing-back, he has played right wing-back and he has played pretty much as an extra midfield player, as a ten.

“That tells you we think he is a football player and that he can play in a lot of positions.

“The key thing for him is he needs to contribute in the final third, the attacking third, more than he has because he has got the quality to do that.

“Obviously it was nice for him to do that (on Saturday) and give support for Neal.

“But I think there is more to come from Solly."
