    7 before September. I would be content with 15 but I really want him to push on now.

    He needs to look to Sinclair, they are so much alike so he should be looking to emulate him.

    Edit.

    Before October.

    I'd expect him to get at least 15 this season across all competitions.

    45 goals he has for us in total now, has overtook Charlie Tully, Davie Provan, Simon Donnelly and Big Jan in the last few days.

    Catching up on Maloney and Alan Thompson who have 52 and 51.

    Started the season as Celtic's 88th highest scorer and is up to 77th already.

    BR on James Forrest: "Really improving his numbers. Defensively he is working very hard, pressing and has a tactical idea of the game."

    BR: "He has great quality off both feet. For his first goal he comes on the inside and finishes really well."


    BR: "And his second one, he moves in off the line, young Odsonne plays him a nice little pass and he works his feet to get his shot off."

    BR: "So two very good goals and a very good performance from him."

    Griffiths nearly scored one pretty similar at Dens as well a couple of seasons back I'm sure.

    I thought he was gonna put that in the corner. I've seen him trying to express his game a bit more this season and that comes with confidence. Placing his shots well and all. Great game from James.

    He had a great touch that took a couple of players out the game at the weekend then missed with the shot, that wee one tonight you mentioned, then his 2nd goal at the end it was a great touch to take the defenders out the road and make space for the shot.

    Maybe wee things he's learning off the likes of Roberts, Rogic and McGregor.

    Should start on Saturday. Think people go so far into praising Roberts they forget that Forrest is a very effective player for us, especially against them. Last year he ripped them apart every game he played. Easy choice for me, Roberts can be brought on to have some fun after 60 mins.

    Think dropping him would be very harsh whether you're a fan or not. Doesn't send out a great message does it.

    Sometimes wee Jamesy Frustrated me in the past and now and again he still does(but so do others).
    At times he didn't seem to have the confidence to take on the defender.However under BR,at the start of last season and this one he is now finding a new role and this is proving to be good for the team and for him with his goal input.
    I think it would be harsh to drop him for Saturday while he is in this goal scoring form.
