    I would have played him at Easter Road on the right, not Commons out of position. Having said that we won which is the main thing.

    Back on topic - I think the lad has got a big future and anytime Broony is not on the right I would have him in there...

    Wonder what he'd be like in the hole, behind the front 2...

    Thoughts anyone...???

    He looked as sharp as * when he came on yesterday, it was really noticable. Reminded me of the 2007 summer of McGeady when you could tell straight away he had got a lot quicker only Forrest was already quick but something has changed maybe strength/confidence.

    Seeing him yesterday just reminded me how much i rate him.
    Has amazing pace and can twist and turn into the box, and its scared of pushing forward.
    Would say one for the future but he's already a wee jem and can play amazing atm.
    Brilliant prospect for Scotland national team aswell.

    I think his game depends to much on bombing down the right wing and sending in crosses, I don't think he would be bad in the hole, just better on the right wing.

    I think if your playing anyone in the hole it's Maloney, but I don't think Forrest would suit it your wasting two of his best attributes if you stick him in there, crossing and his pace.

    He's got a thunderous strike on him though which he could use more in that position.

    I think Forrest is a lot better on the left than the right. On the left he can go inside or out but its not the same on the right where he usually sticks to going for the cross.

    Completely agree. Think the three CM's gives us much better balance in the side. A big reason why we conceded so few goals despite our full backs bombing forward.

    If Ki can keep up his level of performance I'd like to see us switch between

    Brown Kayal Ki Commons
    and
    Forrest Kayal Ki Ledley

    depending on who's on form and available.

    Brown was absolutely immense today. Forrest is developing well though. A cracking player.

    wish he'd stay on his feet more, good to see him get a goal.

    developing into a great player gave callum booth of hibs a torrid time earlier in the year and gave dixon a tough time today. those are two of the best left backs we'll face all season

    Anyone notice when he got the ball 2 united players were on him right away?

    At one point they had 2 on him and 2 sweepers incase he knocked it past them. This happened near enough on the edge of the box but it still startled me that defenders fear him that much.
