    I'd go with Forrest on the right and GMS on the left (against Malmo). I've said it before, but I still think he's much more naturally suited to the left wing.

    Two proper wingers on either side, bring commons on if either has a poor game.

    Last night was the first time in a long long time that I've felt excited by a Forrest performance. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come and not just a flash in the pan.

    He finally done what he is best at last night, running at taking on defenders at every opportunity, going down the outside, inside and the channel absolutely shredded their right back with ease.

    Happy with what I saw from him last night, made me eat my words.

    I've always backed him when he's been * then when I lose faith in him he has a great performance the wee *!

    He took the role of Sammy of being one of the most infuriating players to watch because you know what he is capable of but sometimes doesn't even bother turning up, more of same please Forrest :50:

    He really is a confidence player. He gets his head down so easily.

    Ronny will be working a lot on this id imagine.

    I think Forrest could play a key role against Malmö. I think his pace could be a nightmare for the Malmö defence. Just hope he is fit to play.

    He definitely has, he looks more rounded in that he has muscle in the right places. Looks like his legs are pretty big for his explosive pace, and his shoulders look more even, he used to look like his arms were always at an angle.

    He's the fittest I've ever seen him. Looks light and very fast once he gets going. If he's brimming with confidence and plays like yesterday he's definitely an asset to us. But his decision making and delivery in the final third is quite poor. Needs to improve on that immediately if he's ever going to be a top player. By January we'll know where we stand with Forrest. I've got faith in Ronny to bring it out of him.

    For his standards he played great last night, hopefully he can continue to impress and stay fit.

    don't really rate forrest all that much, but i feel he needs to start on Wednesday! Johansen's lack of creativity so far this year has worried me, i feel a bit more direct play on the wings is what we need! After seeing the way Forrest played mid-week i would take a punt on him for the starting XI!
