    Thought he was too predictable and wasteful in possession.

    Aye? Mental how people can see a far different game, was by far the man of the match for me. To such an extent I'm genuinely * confused about any sort of criticism.

    Sometimes just get the feeling people are waiting for Forrest to have a poor game so they can slaughtered him.

    It was very similar with McGeady for me. Who * carried us at times.

    He's a winger. He's going to loose the ball when trying stuff. The guy ran through the defence quit a few times and caused mayhem. He even managed to get 2 players injured diving into each other to stop him.

    Then again he could be less wasteful like biton... just pass it sideways or backwards.

    The thing he done brilliant was his movement, kept on starting inbetween two defenders, driving wide, taking both of them with him. Rogic would just stroll into the space, love seeing * like that. His link up with Rogic was excellent.

    Didn't think he was wasteful either, especially for this stage of the season, he was a constant threat. Think most things we done well, he was a part of.

    Has improved under Rodgers, undeniably, now more consistent in his performances than he has ever been.

    I still find him frustrating as a player but happy to have him here, which is a big difference from this time a year ago or so, when I'd have happily seen him leave. Has a role to play in the squad, now.

    Would still be amazed if we didn't sign another RW, mind.

    Wee Paddy will return. But agree with what you said. Wee Jimbo will have another good season under Brendan. Seems to burn out quickly sometimes during the season. Suppose that's more to do with injury delays etc. and not previously finished full campaigns.And I think the management has worked on how he ran wich I feel contributed to a lot of his past injuries.

    Good winger .. with a turn of pace on his day that can affect a game.

    Just not the level we need to take the next step and never will be.

    He looks miles out of his depth against better opposition.

    Even his biggest fan must know that.

    Paddy is a better player but Forrest has some attributes over him, notably pace. To have the two of them as options again next year, with their different styles, would be great.

    On his day unplayable, all too often an imposter.

    We were spoiled with Paddy. It's like going from Prop to Cooncil.

    Not alone tonight in having a stinker. But unlike some of the others, this wasn't a one-off.

    We need better.

    Poor but anyone blaming Forrest for the performance is a half-wit, apart from the centre backs and the goalie the entire team was *.

    He was poor tonight, but i think you could say that for the majority of the team tbh.

    Far too one-footed for this level, it's infuriating seeing him misplace a pass because he's trying to flick at it and get swerve with the outside of his right instead of taking it in stride with his left.

    Thought he was one of our more positive players tonight, especially in the first half.
    Snatched at a few half chances but wasnt the worst player on the park.
