    Needs some consistency over a season for too long he has been a player who seemed to sulk and disappear in games when things weren't going for him.

    Brilliant post Paul, he's an incredible player when good, but a heartless, disinterested player when isn't on his game. I also think your spot on when you say you think he has an attitude problem. I think, that he thinks, that's he's irreplaceable in this Celtic team, and sadly he has thought this for a while now. His fitness is definitely a worrier, when was the last time we saw him play 3 or 4 games on the trot ? Need to buck-up wee man, or I see you moving on.

    He's definitely not the worst I've ever seen I take my earlier comment back

    He's played 3 games in a row in this month alone? If I never knew it any better it would seem people are just making things up to fit their agenda, seems to happen a lot with Forrest.

    Its true that he does miss a lot of games though, he has only started 4 League games in a row once for us in the last 3 and a half years.

    To put that into perspective Rogic has managed to start 7 League games in a row this season, Forrest hasnt even managed 5 since 2011.

    He needs to somehow get into playing week in week out.

    Maybe his body is telling him he can't though?

    It's not really a reason to have a go at him though is it?

    As long as he is contributing positively when he does play then what is the problem if he misses the odd game throughout the season.

    I'd much rather he missed the odd game and was a positive force for us than to overwork him and end up him missing another 8 months.

    Daleers right here. We handle him as we have been, he's fit far more often than he was trying to play 3 games a week.

    Never understood hate for players who are prone to injuries. Whatever frustration we feel regarding it, the player himself frustration will be 10 fold. It's their careers, it'd be gutting to be injured.

    Terrific when he came on. Absolutely blitzed the number 1 Turkish right back with ease..

    His 20 minutes are even better when you look at who came off (Armstrong)..

    Brilliant. Again.

    I knew he was going to have a good season.

    He is limited in some areas but if he wasn't then he wouldn't be here.

    Great wee player.

    Armstrong has been getting embarrassed by whoever replaces him all season. Apart from GMS who is worse for some reason.

    Know what your saying SD about Armstrong and can't argue except that we brought him from Utd where he was a No10. What do we do? In a team full of No10s we stick him wide left. He has neither the pace, nor the skill for that position. He is a central player. I'd even play him in the ''2' role. He's wasted wide left.

    If we had another James Forrest we'd be quite a decent side.
