    Hey, if you read what I'm saying, I agree with ya! The new manager isn't helping his career at all!

    To be fair if he can get through 1 on 1 he may have half a chance of finding the net . I am talking about the shots he takes on from 20-25 years , hopeless.

    If anything, we have seen more from him under Deila recently than we have done for a while.

    I think it is less to do with the gaffer and more to do with Forrest himself. He just isn't as good or doesn't have as much potential as some folk seem to think/imagine.

    Useful but never going to reach the heights that many dream he is capable of, IMO.

    Ambrose, Johansen, Lustig, Armstrong, Commons and a few others are all getting worse under RD, not just Forrest. Gordon in particular!

    I think he is an impact sub myself. Put him on against tired legs at 70 minutes .

    I'm talking about Forrest here though.

    Also, Ambrose is not getting worse, geez peace. He was still Coco the Clown under Lennon as well.

    Ambrose has been like that since Juventus game but still turned in some good performances under Ronny, Lustig is injuries the * can hardly run, Gordon has always been a great shot stopper but dodgy in being indecisive. Forrest has gotten better under Ronny. Johansen was just POTS think it's down to himself not Ronny.

    Started off the season well but has been pish recently. Too predictable at times, needs to mix his game up a bit.

    Everybody likes to see a player who makes a direct run - it's exciting. But Forrest is pretty ineffective. Goes it alone too much - would be better to find a pass than a shot most times. I can understand why people like him - but personally I think he's one dimensional, predictable and against a fast fullback - might as well not be there. But that's just the good bits.

    The guy can go past players with so much ease its unbelievable. He has so much potential to be a top player & an incredibly effective one but he always seems to be playing within himself as if he could do so much more. To be still talking about his potential at the age he's at & the time he's been around the squad is so frustrating.

    Enjoying a much better season this year than he has before but still feel like he has a lot more to offer. Will we ever see it?

    Crock of *? How the * have you came up with that one chief?

    Being one of our better players this season isn't much to make a song and dance about. We've been pretty crap to put it mildly for the most part. Our best players has been an 18 year old LB from the reserves and Griffiths. No one,se has came close including Forrest.

    When he's good, he's good. But far too often he's a passenger and worse than a man down at times when he can't be *. There's no room for that unfortunately and if he went tomorrow out very much he'd be greatly missed.

    So the majority opinions is he's * again now? :56:

    He's been overall good for a while now. Good wee player and offers something different. Some of these comments are OTT.

    Admittedly, he's never going to be playing for a top European team or anything though, we know that.

    What's OTT about it? He's good now and again. Always been that way. What's the point in having a player who's only going to be decent now and again, or for a run of 3 or 4 games max before injury or lack of interest kicks in?
