Care to name them?
I really can't be arsed going to find random posts within a near 2000 page thread, but there are plenty of posts which give Forrest as an example of a player Deila has improved. The Norwegian guy said he was 'better than ever' at the start of the season.
A shampooe load of folk also claimed he was "our 2nd best player this season" despite him having next to eff all goals or assists to his name. Don't mind any of them saying it was a Deila improvement though.

Plenty listed as him when asked what players had Deila had improved. It was definitely happening.

Well it wasn't me.

I got slated for saying he was finished, his pace was gone and we should punt him this season, last season and the season before. People kept saying he needed a run without injuries and refused to see what was blatantly obvious.

Forrest was undoubtedly one of our top 3 performers at the start of the year up until he grabbed his injury.

That was probably due to half our team under performing but the signs were encouraging for a couple of months.

I can't for the life of me understand why some people won't even settle for him being a squad player.

He's a more than decent option from the bench and we should be hanging onto guys like him and McGregor (for the bench) given todays financial climate.

I knew he'd been off form for a while, but those stats are awful. And he's got the cheek to stall on a contract offer :arrr:

If he hadn't come through our youth ranks he'd have been hunted seasons ago.

No new deal, please.

I like Forrest but he hasn't kicked a ball all season. He would be beat utilized by a team playing on the counter attack.

I think he's overrated, have said it a few times on here, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to his form than meets the eye. Get the feeling he's not the only player who's nowhere near their maximum of late.

The fans don't trust him and rightly so.

There are people on this board who consider him to be in good form when he scares late goals when we are already ahead by 4 or 5. Big games he falls on his arse looking for fouls and greets to the referee time and time again. He repeatedly suffers from the same type of injury and from recent games his pace is already on the decline.

He was at his best when he was young, raw as eff and had more pace than he knew what to do with. I would agree with the point that he's been managed poorly, but take the fact that he's stalling over a contract right now. He obviously thinks he's better than he is which frankly doesn't sit right with many.

Do u mean he's being played the wrong way or do u mean he's not trying for the manager.? I think he's been told by his agent that he can get him a better deal elsewhere. Punt

He often gets into a good scoring position cutting in from the left. If only he could shoot. Should have had 10 goals by now.

I would still keep him though. One of the players with the highest top level in the squad, IMO and has a bit of a X-factor. But inconsistent, yes.

He's gash with a capital GASH!

You never know maybe Ronny will sort his shooting and Big Grete can lay down those healing hands.
The club is a shambles and offering no users like this 4 year deals just confirms it.

If James Forrest was deployed in his preferred position, then he might be far more effective

He’s a right winger.
When he’s played there he looks good.
He has the pace to go past most left backs.
Unfortunately, like Armstrong, his confidence is being destroyed by playing him on the left, where defenders know he has to cut inside.
He did well on the right against St Johnstone away.
He looked our most promising player in the first half against Kilmarnock at home.
Deila switched him and he faded. It ended 0-0.
With the right manager, Forrest could be a very effective player. :thumbsup:
