    Done it against the diets at home as well when he ended up putting it on to the post..

    Happened quite a bit. Very tentative in the final third and unsure..

    :56:how many more to go before I lose the bet? 17? Only for injuries I don't think Ange has him near the team. Shouldn't be but that's just my opinion..

    Yeah that was also a joke. I won’t write him off totally but he’s looking a shadow of the player he was a couple of years ago. Lost a yard of pace and also looks technically weaker. Fear the injury last season has taken it’s toll.

    Can't stand him on the left either. Sick of seeing him cutting across the edge of the box, wee taps here and there, before blasting it wide or passing it straight into the keepers gloves.

    Aye.. 17

    He really hasn't got going, was raging when he failed to keep the ball going for a goal kick 5 mins of injury time.

    Doesn't look 100% . Not accelerating at all, looks like he's scared his hammy will go.

    Doesn't have the guile or craft to play in the middle imo.

    As others have said , if he has lost a yard of pace he is half the player he was as that was his main attribute. We need another winger , or two if we don't sign Jota.

    Sorry but been hearing this for 2 years now. His days at a top flight club have been and gone.

    Abada is developing fast and is arguably already a more effective option. Think we could do with another winger as neither Forrest or Johnston can be relied on (either in terms of performance levels or their ability to stay fit for 5 minutes).

    If he’s not getting back to his best we need a winger in immediately.

    Abada is still developing and we can’t rely on Forrest if he’s going to keep playing like that.

    I don't mean to be unkind, he has been a great servant at various times,
    but he gives the impression of being yesterday's man, a throwback to previous teams.

    He doesn't feel part of the new team going forward.
    I think we need hungry players, and I don't sense that with him now.

    Hope he proves me wrong.

    The Forrest from 2016-2019 would be * dynamite under Ange. No doubt about it.

    He looks pretty powder puff this season though. I don't expect him to score or beat his man anymore and that's a real worry.

    I’m telling you…next time his contract is up for renewal we’ll get a great 6 months out of him…give him another contract…then he’ll be * until contract talks are due again

    If he can stay fuuly fit for a good few months, he'll get his form back.

    Huffed and puffed all night, looks to have lost pace. I think he has a bit part to play for us but not starting 11 right now. Would push JJ forward to the right wing and reinstate the outstanding, never let you down Ralston.

    Hes lost a yard of pace or is holding back slightly to avoid injury. Hes one id look to replace with better in the summer though. People laughed at Roberts but imagine a player like him, and jota down the other wing. Oft. James is more a hit and run player but without the place he's not the same. Still thought he played awrite and not as bad as were all making out. His greed on two occasions when a near tap in was available is annoying though. Thatll come with match sharpness. I'm not ruling him out, but we need to spend big on his position in the summer imo.
