I can handle a player not playing well as long as his attitude is right, and his attitude has been spot on this season. Played okay today, and unlucky not to score another one, but his goal was utterly sensational.
That goal today typifies the change in him because so often the last couple of years he wouldn't push on forward. He would stop and go back or come inside with no purpose, right into opposition players and lose the ball. However, he just ran right at them today. He looked like a player who knew what he wanted to do and who had the confidence that he could do it.

Probably his best ever run of form. 4 good games on the trot. Just shows what can happen when you put a bit of effort in

First half today he was superb. Drifted a bit in the second, but we had definitely gone down a gear or two.

Great goal but it's hardly like he hasn't scored those before.
Not under Deila though. Banned* from hitting the ball with outside of foot.

Seriously?
Collins has a fixation with players kicking the ball 'properly.'
Says he got it from Walter Smith.

Pish, Collins scored with the outside of his boot often.

His confidence is growing, will be interesting to see if he gets bombed out for Roberts when he is fit to come back in, although I have already said I wouldn't mind seeing Forrest and Sinclair out wide with Roberts in the No10 spot, although Rogic deserves to keep his place also at the moment. Competition for places/options for the manager is what it is all about though.

He was fond of using the outside of his boot as a player as well IIRC? If that was the type of stuff going on it's no wonder players looked like they were scared on the pitch.

FWIW I think Forrest does that too often, sometimes when it doesn't benefit him. Banning it however is batshampoo mental. Players do look like they've had shackles taken off, didn't realise it was almost literal in some cases.

Played well in the first half and a great goal too. His attitude and work rate are there, too.

Really ! "there might actually be a player in there "
Still can not accept that he has always been talented.

Been a huge fan of Forrest foe years now and have got into many an argument on here defending him. Towards the end of last season I genuinely thought I had been flogging a dead horse for too long.

Delighted with his current form and hopes he keeps it up. If Rodgers can get Forrest back to this level it's practically a new signing. On form, no club in Scotland can handle him.

Issue we have then is protection from the men in Black which I doubt we'll see. Last season down at kilmarnock they were lining up to boot him with no intervention from the ref and then some wonder why he picks up injuries.

Long may his confidence grow as we're the ones that benefit.
