James Forrest

He's so good we can't rest him! Pops up with so many game-changing moments in games. Even created a goal at the weekend as well.

Defo plays his best stuff on the right hand side!

 

Needs a few games out, definitely.

 

Missed that sitter and I thought he actually took took a touch too many for the Ntcham assist...but it worked out well..

Was decent but no great tonight. Think it was him that skiooed through McGregor second half and had a couple of cute touches/passes..

 

I think we are kinda "getting away with" this Forrest and Christie on the opposite wings, and only just.

Does need a rest but I want him on the right again

 

Aye another poor overall display. Weak in the challenge a few times as well.

 

I know Christie can let fly on his left from there but I'd actually prefer to see Christie go left and drift in and Forrest in his natural position than 2 player's out of position..

I know we've had injuries. Mikey and Mo so we're juggling but I also think it's down to Frimpong as he can occupy a whole right hand side and let Christie come in..

Can see the thinking behind it easily but I'm still no a fan and we're better with Forrest on the right 100%..

 

Thought forrest was good tonight could have had a couple and his inter play in midfield to open them up was a joy , his touch and passing was perfection on a terrible pitch , such high standards set that if he doesn't score running in on goal it's a poor performance , but if you examine his whole game he was pretty dam good .

 

Went completely off the boil recently.

Not sure if it's down to the fact his position is constantly being rotated. Switching between LW and RW and he played as a second striker against Hibs at the weekend.

As he isn't the type of player who gets stuck in, it feels like your playing with 10 men when he isn't on form. Don't think he should be dropped, just get him playing in his natural position and manage his game time. Him and McGregor play an unreal amount of football.

 

I much prefer him on the right.

 

Just assumed Christie on the right was to fit Ntcham into team?

 

His lack of back tracking * me off.

 

We didn't have a fit left winger

 

That's a good point, would be worth a try.

Seems to me to do a decent enough back tracking job whenever on the right. Again, another reason to keep him on the right.
Even when he is playing *, he still manages to contribute with a goal or an assist.
But he does look to have lost that spark over the last month. I agree that he needs resting/game time management but we have so many injuries to wide people, just not possible. ElHam being injured means we cant use Frimpong in that position-which would excite the * out of me. Also, the guys on the left being injured -Ely & MJ.

 

Was pish again today, he really needs to up his game but this swapping him all across the front 3 isn’t helping imo.

 

Thought he was ok today but prefer him on the right.

 

How spoilt we have become .

 

Get back on the right wing James
