    I'll be honest here, I think he's still got the intelligence to do a turn for us at times, but it's getting harder to defend him at this point. He's been * awful.

    Been a great servant over the years, but he’s at the stage where he quite simply should never be starting a game for us, unless we’re talking early rounds of Scottish Cup vs lower league opposition.

    Not against him playing his part in the squad, but if we’d recruited properly, there would’ve been two players clearly ahead of him in the pecking order on each wing. Should only really be a spare man to bring on for some experience when needed, or in an injury crisis.

    I don't want to use the Hate word, but I have HATED seeing him * pansying about in this team for YEARS. He's been a great servant and all and his stats etc are good, but I honestly have felt he has been an empty jersey in almost every game I can remember seeing him in. Recency bias is a thing, but * me. Needs to be the end of him starting games.

    He’s been incredibly fortunate to have spent his entire career here.

    Beyond finished now.

    Don't like seeing the negative comments about him as has been a great player over a long period of time, but it's obvious he's done. BR needs to surely see this. Should only be used as a very last resort this season, last ten mins etc.

    Said it a page ago, he was done during Lennon's final season, the fact he's starting games 2 years later is ridiculous.

    Should be kept as a guy to come on, and see the game out.

    Done...and been done for a while. Its hard to watch.

    On Rodgers this. If he persists with Forrest the fans will slowly turn on him, which no one wants.

    Has he been a great player over a long period of time?

    He was fantastic in Rodgers’ first spell. Aside from that, I’d argue he’s been fairly average, and more recently utter *.
