Forrest has had an excellent start to the season, he was poor tonight but apart from Toure, Sinclair and Listig he waa just one of another 10 players, I think it's harsh to suddenly start having a go at home, its almost as if some are sitting waiting on him to fail just so they can say told you so.

No-one has been a bigger Forrest critic than me over the years but he's been a different animal this Season and wingers are always likely to have an off day, I think he's entitled to a bit of slack, what happened before Rodgers should be left there, its obvious we're a different side now, if he's honking under BR then he'll get shot of him but this waiting for players to fail has to stop, no good can come of it.

Wasn't the worst last night but should be replaced by Roberts who is a far superior player.

He was brutal....
However, within that brutal display, there was so much more chasing back and general work rate that wasn't there before. I have been one of his harshest critics, but, I will allow him this blip as HBS were a pretty big and physical team, and more than Forrest couldn't live with that. I lost count of the amount of time Janko was thrown aside by the big forward :ffs:

His attitude has completely changed, he looked like he'd given up at a stage. No worse than anyone else last night but we had to do something at HT as our tactics were not working.

Aye he was the worst. That's why he was hooked first. When the going gets tough away from home in Europe u can be sure wee shooders won't be relied on
He got subbed because we changed the system to a diamond. Brendan said as much in his post-match interview.

Ran himself into the ground?

Effort was there?

He set the tone for his performance, and that of others, when he allowed their left back to take the ball off him at the start of the game.

Had a great start to the season but last night, he started the game at a sort of half-hearted pace and never picked up the pace at all. Wasn't the worst but wasn't far off it.
Earlier in this thread I posted that I thought we were now seeing him back to how he was when he broke into the team. He hadn't really improved his game to any level of consistency. Last night we saw him back to how he has been the last couple of seasons. This is what we are going to get from him, peaks and troughs, though I fear it will be more troughs than peaks.
I really want him to kick on and play with a confidence and a swagger but I don't think he's got it in him.

I've put my two bob's worth re JF in the past.Have to agree with most that he has started this season looking the part,still not sure about him though tbh.However hope he proves me wrong.If he is doing enough to get a game under BR then he has obviously done a fair bit to impress behind the scenes and that shows in his running back to help defence etc.

Almost without exception the entire team were honking last night. There's absolutely no point in using this one game to try to say that Forrest can GTF or Brown is back to his worst etc.

Decent enough today, but the effort was there and a cracking finish to put us ahead before HT.
