    Think we have the wrong Forrest. Alan scored another two for Ayr United today.

    Amazing performance today. Berget held the ball up really well, Johansen was amazing and the new boy at the back was absolutely different class. Add Tonev to the mix and it's gonna be fun to watch this team develop.

    Neil McCann was right about Forest's injury. Shame really, he was just getting into the game.

    Wee bit of athletics training would be good for the whole squad, teach some of the warm up drills, higher knee for a longer stride for straight line speed. We bit of glute strength training might come from a Powerlifting coach. wee bits and bobs from Pilates. That's how Giggs prolonged his career after suffering the same sort of injuries Forest's been getting.

    But aye strengten yer glutes more flexibility. High knee stride, wee slide on a wet surface on yer standing foot and it's maybe a recurrence of a previous injury.

    An athletics coach would have the high knee drills in the warmup. Combination of all these things would benefit everyone.

    Might give us an edge against teams in the Champions' League. Hopefully we can take this form into the game on Wednesday night.

    Sheer joy to watch. Best in years.

    Never seen us ever pressing like that so high up the pitch ever. We may have slip ups along the way, but if this is what Ronny is trying to achieve then long may it continue.

    Lovely link up and constant pressure and attack.

    Great performance all round. Young Denayer put in some great challenges and Efe seemed happier as RB. Loads of chances created up front hopefully bodes well for Maribor game

    For the first game at home..

    Unbelievable. The expectation levels will be pretty high now after that. Hope the players are up for it.

    I think it helped that dundee united fancied nicking something today and put bodied forward when attacking..

    Other shittier teams will just flood the midfield and park the bus, so chances less likey..

    Saying that, no one in scotland coulda lived with that breath taking performance today, was too much..
    I do reckon on todays showing, a few more teams will be on the same kinda tankings as that whether they park the bus or not.. Don't think ronny will settle for less..

    He pulled up holding his hamstring. No idea how serious it is yet.

    A very enjoyable performance. The quick tempo passing and high up the pitch pressing was on display today and it was great to watch. When we play that way we are far too good for anything in the Scottish Premiership. That performance today is the model for us, the aim now is to reproduce it as often as possible.

    There were still a few hairy moments at the back but it's hard to be too critical after a 6-1 win.
