    Did well when he came in, for a very poor Abada.

    Yep. Isn't even close..

    This is Forrest declining and yet he can still beat a man or turn a man....Abada simply cannot..

    Takes care of it much better. First touch. Link up play. Awareness. Picking the right option..

    Abada's off it but even when he was hot and banging them in...he still didn't have much or any of the above..

    He should be warming the bench. When Jota's back I'd even put him as 3rd choice right winger for the foreseeable..

    Seems to be pretty much back to the Forrest of old. Deserves games now.

    His decision making and reliability in possession were both instantly better than Abada’s when he came on. Abada could actually learn a whole lot from Jamesy.

    Like a new signing. Great to see. Could even hear the crowd get excited by his introduction. That hasn't happened for a wee while. Long may it continue.

    Have to say, he's impressed me recently. Thought he was done after that 18 month or so spell of doing next to nothing.

    Was far better tonight than Abada.

    He was so economical with the ball, never really wasted a ball, most passes were on the money.

    Looks very lively at the moment; his confidence is clearly high - it would be remiss of Ange not to make the most it

    Not starting him was a genuine howler from Ange tbh.

    He's got his mojo back, signs of the old Jamsey, not just playing safe passes but making things happen, going at players and shooting at goal, brilliant.

    Good to have him back performing again, another option on the wings was needed.

    Ball retention first class, as per - which is important in these tough away games.

    Thought he played his role really well today. Very effective.

    Great to see him making such an impact this season.

    If he still had his pace, he'd be 100% first choice fir me

    Still has something to give, was good today.

    Would love for him to get more minutes this season he is just a much better football than Abada and Maeda.
