    His attacking play could be very good, the rest of his all round game was developed under Brendan.

    A wee breath of fresh air to see a player sign a new contract and not disapear straight after in a playing sense .

    He's 100% improved under Brendan. At one point when Deila was manager, it looked like Forrest had downed tools.

    The transformation has been unbelievable.

    Also when that wee fat oddity clamped his heel with his studs from behind...a few year ago Forrest would've been rolling around looking to be subbed feeling sorry for his self..

    Today he was up and back at the left back immediately..

    Some of the * said about him during Deila;s reign was ridiculous. You always agreed.

    He has went up a level but he was never as bad as some made him out to be under Ronny.

    I’m not disagreeing with that mate, I’m saying he could be frustrating as * back then. Even now when he’s not playing well he’s never a man short. That’s the type of players I love.

    BR: “James and Tom are very close off the pitch, they have a good friendship and you can see that when they play. They look for each other and combine. Tom made a couple of great passes which made it easy for James and he took his finishes well.”

    Always had it for me but for a long time it was only in flashes at best imo. However, from the start of last season when he was our best player overall imo, he has showed more and more consistency!!

    Him and Rogic today was telepathy at it's finest and if the pair can give us some more of that going forward it's impossible to play against....think his enthusiasm infected the rest of the team in a positive way. A very big player for us going forward!!!

    To think I feared he'd go down as a never-fulfilled potential due to constant injuries... Whatever doctors did to make him be fit- it deserves big praise. James managed to get consistent game time, and well-he's been a player we can't fathom dropping from the side, ever since. Gets better with age, like wine.

    How many players have scored 4 in a game for us ? Surely 4 in 45 mins is a record.

    Did Hooper not scored 5 against Hearts at home.

    Forrest was excellent today. Pity its an international break now or he could have really pushed on from this.

    Heard earlier that 4 goals in one half hasn't been done since 1956. Can't remember the player's name who did it.

    McGrory scored 8 in a game for us, which is the record. John Campbell scored 7 in a match for us, in 1892. Lennox and Chalmers both scored 5 goals for us, on two occasions each. Dariusz Dziekanowski scored 4 for us in a European game in the 80's.
