mariokempes56 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Regardless of his merits or otherwise (I want him to be good), the fundamental problem is his total lack of game/space awareness - no idea what is around him, when to move into space or track runners. For that reason alone he is simply not up to performing at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianp Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 IMO he looks out of place at international level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 IMO he looks out of place at international level I'd go even further than that and say that in the last eighteen months, he's looked out of place at club level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe545 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 agree with this, was pulling my hair oot watching him that and the fact he turns his back on the runner nearly every time, defensive liability that is pish going forward. wouldnt have him in squad personally never min first XI Noticed that also. He was constantly out of position defensively, getting dragged about leaving his wing exposed and not following runners. Was relying on his pace to get himself out of trouble.

hannibal smith Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I saw him in the airport on Friday night, I should have stole his passport off him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHfaeGTA Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 When I watch Forrest and this last few days think about some of Ralphe Milne performances and consider he was never capped it really does make you wonder. Read a quote from Sturrock that not being capped really irked Ralphe. When he sees the likes of Forrest getting all these caps it is not surprising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Not a huge fan of Forrest, but thought he played very well last night. Only poor moment was that scuffled shot which I'm not sure if meant or was in two minds as to pass it to the player to his left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he played very well last night, especially considering he was being double marked. Gained a lot of goodwill from me certainly.

Bannannan Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Not Forrests fault we don't have anyone better.Might still become a good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Did well at times, particularly in the lead up to our first goal. I didn't want him in the side but certainly gets pass marks for last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningtings Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Defensively he was appalling though, left Whittaker exposed countless times as he pulled up his socks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest doesn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nek Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Defensively he was appalling though, left Whittaker exposed countless times as he pulled up his socks this no coincidence that every time Forrest plays the FB on his side has a 'bad' game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Played no bad and happy to be probed wrong if he can keep it up. One game does not forgive 15 shite ones though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dohadeer Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 He's certainly got the classic 'face you'd never tire of slapping' which is often a syndrome that Celtic players in particular seem to suffer from. See also Scott Brown and Leigh Griffiths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
