James Forrest

* it throw him on this Saturday

 

Another few days training and he'll be good to go I think


Brendan at the mind games

 

So Hibs in the cup maybe?

 

I would think Forrest would be on the bench tomorrow. Maybe a late cameo appearance.

 

Great to have him back. Feels like it's between him and Yang though. Wonder how that will play out?

 

Any word how close he is?

 

Was back out on the pitch last week light training


So he's probably full training this week

 

Should be close?

 

It has been roughly 3 weeks since it was confirmed he was back training.

Obviously, this past week has been the first chance in ages that BR would have had the chance to work with the whole squad without having to prioritize whatever the starting XI for each game has been every 3 days, and also have to take into account the form of all of our wide players (and attackers in general for that matter).

But yes, you would think that JF must be very close to back in contention for matchday squad, at least.

 

It's ideal having him back at this stage keeps competition healthy between him and Yang - might even spur Yang on to continue his great form, or we've got a club legend waiting to come on.

 

The ideal scenario for the rest of the season is to have him available as an option from the bench. Once the league is won then there's opportunity to get him fit for the cup final, if needed.

 

Hope he gets back this season and bags a couple of goals.

 

He needs a goal to continue his brilliant record, of scoring in every season he’s played. I’m sure that’s the case, apologies if not correct.

 

Yass, he's back!

 

Hopefully on the bench for tomorrow??

 

Difficult to see how he gets back in now but he was unbelievable in the run-in last year and I’ll never forget what he did for us at the back end of last year.

In the cup if we need to see the game out or get our foot on the ball, he’s still our best wide plsyer in terms of the basics.

 

Perfect timing, hopefully he gets 20 minutes tomorrow, a fit Forrest is just what we need for the run in.

 

Can't see him get back into the team. Love the guy and he is a true Celt but i just cant see it. Will be intresting to see if Lennon try to bring him the Dunfermline.

 

Brilliant to see him back tomorrow.
