    I agree with you mate, Jamsey is a good player when he's on form, but he's nowhere near the level he once was and shouldn't be startin games imo.

    Fair enough. Once he’s fully fit again he’d be my first choice on the right wing.

    ^ Post from March last year.

    I was worried this might happen. You obviously can't write him off completely, but his performances since Ange has come in have ranged from mediocre to *.

    We can't afford to be sentimental this season and I don't think Ange is, to be honest. He's a bench player just now. Shouldn't be near the first eleven unless we're desperate.

    I've never seen a player lose a yard so quickly as he has.

    I wouldn't be saying he's done but it's worrying at this stage

    Sound like a broken record but he’s just not very good anymore. Some find it hard to admit as he’s been a loyal and consistent performer for years previously. Might hit some form again but wouldn’t bet on it.

    Said back in August in here somewhere Abada would have twice the amount of GCs as Forrest. Probably has about 5x as much now.

    James can be good on the right wing but on the left wing he is always poor, pleas don’t start him against the orcs as he will just be muscled out of the game.

    The stats show he's been in decline since Rodgers left. There's also the worry that injuries may have caught up with him - looks a shadow of himself right now.

    Injuries and age taking their toll, backup at best now but we really need better.

    No way he is finished. He needs to get back to full fitness first. Should not start against the dirt though. He hasn’t made any real contribution since he has been back. He is far from finished.

    I'd play him in a front 3 of Forrest Abada Jota.

    Mainly because I want Giakoumakis nowhere near the starting XI.

    He has been awful though.

    The mercurial Jamesy Forrest will score against the Huns on Wednesday night. His days of scoring vital goals for Celtic are not over. You will see, you will all see.

    I'd sell him if we can get good money, I prefer Jota and Abada.

    No question he is not fully up to speed. Would be best off the bench maybe on Wednesday. I would be starting Abada on the right and Jota on the left on Wednesday.
