    Actually can't remember seeing him on the pitch. Not one meaningful contribution. We might need to accept their system has our wingers seeing very little of the ball. Could be that we need to go more solid in the future and bring guys like him and Mikey on in the last 20.

    I said to the wife about 20 mins into the second half "when did Forrest last touch the ball"

    He was an empty jersey today.

    Only my opinion but I’d say that was his worst performance. Flung Frimpong under the bus. I can accept bad games but hiding from the first whistle until he was subbed is absolutely unforgivable. This fixture seems to be too big for him.

    Looks to have that mental block when it comes to the huns.

    Paddy Roberts is twice the player Forrest is and i have always said it.

    Just got a four year contract too ! Will see him through to 32 and a nice testimonial paid for by his grateful fans/

    Money for old rope really

    What * me off he had the ball near the byeline and the sevco full back took it off him and what did Forrest do he chucked it just strolled away and didn't chase after him .

    Reckon he is totally flogged, no break in summer, playing constantly for Scotland and us. Surely Lennon has a duty to rest him now and again, or is it that ElHam is injured, Lennon feels he has no options?

    I don't agree with this, but Roberts would have been more effective against a team like that. The way he can create space and play balls into the striker would have been really useful.

    You can tell 5 mins in to a game if he fancies it or not

    Have a feeling he will kick on after the break, so easy to forget what a player he is after a few poor games. That strike against lazio gets overlooked.

    Feel like teams constantly overlook his threat in Europe and don't double up. Seems to excel in those games especially

    He's not being managed properly. Ideally needed a rest in some of the recent games. Same for McGregor.
