James Forrest

He pulled out that tap in at the back post in the first half, that's unforgivable!

 

Shitebag with that cross in and hid for a lot of the game. Not the worst on the night but expected a bigger performance.

 

Should be fresh for the weekend.

 

Can't wait for his testimonial, hail hail jamesy

 

Been hiding since November!

 

Another big game, another who hid.

you can usually tell within the first ten minutes which james forrest has turned up.

complete shitebag lastnight!

 

A player who has been awol for months now. A spineless predictable shitebag.

 

Showed last night we should go all out and bring Robert's back.

 

No idea why he didn’t go for that cross from Elyounoussi in the first half.

 

He’s caught whatever Sinclair had.

His stats and his performances tell two different stories.

 

Scored 3 goals since the 23rd of November - against St Mirren, Hamilton and St Johnstone.

Needs to be dropped or rotated but we all know it won’t happen.

 

Only assisted 6 since then as well, including the winner v Aberdeen and both goals v Hearts. Scandalous return.

 

Forrest goals and assists have been a massive part of our season. Was well off it last night tho, didn't look fit at all.

 

Seems to be the go to guy to rage at..

 

He was ok in the first half, bar that missed chance. Was causing them problems and probing. Set up a Rogic chance in the second half too.

 

3 goals in 3 months from one of our wingers isn’t a good return. Can dress it up however you want.

The point is he started the season on fire and has had a clear dip in form the past while.

 

I'm not "dressing it up", your selective use of stats is transparent.

For a start it may be 3 calendar months but when we never played a game in 4 weeks during part of that period. But "That Forrest has only scored 3 goals and set up 6 in 2 months of football" sounds a little less dramatic...

Secondly as a winger his primary objective I would say is to lay up goals and in that same period he's laid up 6, including a recent winner up at Pittodrie where he took out the whole defence and put it on a plate for Ajer.

He's had poor games in that period, undoubtedly, his performance on the 29th was abysmal but we have far bigger problems than Forrest in the team. He has dug us out a few holes this season, some very recently.

 

I’m not being selective at all. 3 goals in 3 months is pish. He’s set up 6. Great. Albeit I would hazard a guess that at least a couple of them were a simple pass to someone who finished it, as opposed to great wing play.

The fact is he shouldn’t be starting as often as he does when he is clearly off form.

We may have bigger problems but players not pulling their weight shouldn’t be guaranteed starters.

 

It doesn't have to be so black and white, as 3 goals - PISH! 6 assists - GREAT! ...'but for good measure I'll throw in a wee caveat that some of them probably weren't great.'

Another RW to give him competition would be ideal. For whatever reason Lennon doesn't fancy Shved as that guy so it's definitely one we need to tick on the list in the summer.

In the mean time he's the best option we have at RW and his 16 goals & 21 assists for the season so far are testament to that.

 

Forrest best game of 2020 imo was away to Hamilton .. he got so much more ball in deeper positions where he had space to do something. He's been brutal in the 4231, when he's been isolated out on the right wing.
