    Forster wanted to "fight for the first choice spot" at Southampton his choice, not ours. Hasnt worked out well either

    Forster would make some saves these keepers haven’t but honestly the way the defence is the now I don’t think we would be in a different position than we are now.

    No idea how good Conor Hazard is but its hard to believe he could be a * of a lot worse than what ive witnessed from bain and barkas , in fact a save a game would just about be enough to better them !!

    The fact that the defence is so poor is EXACTLY the reason why we should be seeing him make saves.

    The whole thing about being a Celtic keeper in years gone by is that they only get called into action 1/2 times a game. You see keepers playing for dross SPL teams over the years making wonder saves against us because our attackers get shots away.

    With how poor we are playing, this fella is getting the opportunity to actually make saves which he is not doing.

    I think he has a future, but I do agree we should approach Forster for a short loan, he can take the number 1 jersey for the rest of the season whilst Barkas can learn from him or at least regain his composure and confidence, play in cup games or such. I like him and I really want him to do well for us and show his worth, but I also acknowledge he looks so bereft of confidence.

    He's like one of the lads at 5 a sides who doesn't want to go in so they just kind of bob about the goals until they've conceded enough to be allowed back out again.

    Several important goals this season can be attributed to his incompetence.

    He's an absolute dud.

    That doesn't absolve Lennon of any blame, but this guy just isn't up to it. I would sell him in January. Cut our losses and try to get 2m for him.

    Don't think anyone is "blaming" him for the plight this season or making him a "scapecoat". Just pointing out, justifiably, that he is a bit * .

    I remember the game against Athens we didn’t shoot at goal all that much and tried to play the ball into goal ... that suited his strengths that you have stated ...... that being said he’s never a shot stopper I’ve seen far too many shots from outside of the box that he’s failed to deal with

    Genuinely mate what do you see to think he is promising ? I agree he has came in for unwarranted stick but even at that he has shown nothing to show he is worth anywhere near his price tag

    Sad times when you wonder if Joe Hart would have been the better option.

    Don't even have to wonder. Miranda Hart would have been the better option ffs
