Solly March scored a fine goal in the friendly win over Reading.

A number of players returning from loan are more than showing their worth during pre-season, according to Solly March.

The 28-year-old reckons he’s never seen a better Albion squad during his 11 years at the club and that’s been bolstered by a number of younger players learning their trade out on loan.

“It’s the best squad for sure,” Solly said. “We’ve had five or six players coming back from loan who have looked really good and want to be playing. You've already got boys here who want to be playing – hopefully it can be a good sign for another good year for the club.

“We’ve got a big squad, the biggest squad we’ve ever had. There’s two or three players in each position who can affect the game so everyone has got to be on their toes. The competition has been good, we all want to put in good performances.

“Training has been intense, the games have been intense and everyone is pushing each other. The new season is coming around quickly – we’ve got two more weeks and two more games until Manchester United.”

March put his own case forward to be in the centre of Graham Potter’s plans with a fine goal in the 2-1 friendly win at Reading on Saturday.

“I’ve got to get in more positions like that, I can finish, so it’s about getting in the middle of the goal and hopefully I can take more opportunities.

“Everyone has put in the hard work, the running and effort you need in pre-season so far, but the bonus is putting in a few good performances.”
