Wingers are temperamental at best, you savour the good times and spend the rest of the time wondering if they are worth it.

They are the most exciting players on the pitch, and worth persevering with. Paddy looked unstoppable before his injury but a niggle and a loss of form changes everything, and he'll be back too. Sterling was being branded the most over rated player of his generation, right now he's as good as anyone.

Wingers, they need everything to be just so and a cuddle now and then.

Definitely not always been a fan - he's been subject to plenty of foul mouthed tirades from me in the past several seasons - mainly due to his frequent loss of posession, inability to take a man on and lack of willingness to track back.

I won't take it back because it was true at the time and if I was watching a match replay now I'd rant again. But I will officially say he has totally turned it around and we are FINALLY seeing the player we all knew he had the potential to be.

Not to mention I'm genuinely delighted for him because he has obviously worked hard on the above on the basis of this season's performances so far. You certainly get back what you put in. And he has my faith now.

But effing hell, I still can't watch the wee carrot run! :cannaewatch:
Forrest not the only one doing back tracking now. An awful lot of posters are back tracking like never before on this thread. Personally I'd have punted them earlier- their heart wasn't in it and they'd given up trying.
Thankfully they got a second chance.
I think the lesson is that good posters don't become bad ones overnight
:lol: :thumbsup:
:getmecoat: :lmao: Happy to admit I was wrong about him so will duly take my roasting lol.

Another good game today. Some of his touches and runs were fantastic. Really pleased we have him.

Tough game for him against a side that sat as deep as Dundee. Did well though.

I no longer cringe when I see his name on the teamsheet. Fair dues to the wee guy, he has knuckled down and rediscovered his best form. Definitely earning his place in the team at the moment, he's genuinely exciting to watch again.

But just think, if Brendan can get this out of James Forrest, what could he do with GMS? :ph43r:

He's a far more complete player this season,if he's not actually ripping up defences he's still contributing.He is a clever player who now seems to understand what's required of him.

I was critical of him in the past, particularly last season. Stand by what I said then, he'd chucked it after his new deal fell through. Don't know the fully story there but I heard Celtic pulled the offer. Regardless, he wasn't trying anymore and deserved to be criticised.

I've been very impressed with him this season.

This pretty much. When he dribbles 1 on 1 with someone now you fancy him to take them on and get a cross in or do something good, whereas before he just wasn't anywhere near as effective.

Hope he can keep this brilliant form up, finally showing what he's capable of. Imagine how fast he'd be if his arms moved properly!

I don't think any on here have doubted his ability.
I'll just leave this here...

adboy
 
I said on here about a year/year and a half ago that I just never seen what others did in this guy. I have always thought he was an empty jersey. An utterly gutless player that should be nowhere near Celtic


adboy
 
I honestly don't think this boy has done anything to show that he has what it takes to be a footballer at any real level.

He can't cross, pass, tackle, defend or shoot and his petulant attitude is annoying now.

Anyone who still thinks he 'needs time' etc, IMO, is blinkered.

He is utterly garbage


adboy
 
For me, it is not about tonight.

The guy is simply not good enough and 'flashes' of brilliance 5 or so years ago don't justify him still being anywhere near the Celtic squad. His application in games is awful and this 'coming back from injury/needs games' line is getting tedious. The injuries, I feel, paper over the cracks of him just not being good enough.

When I see his name on the team-sheet I get the fear and if he is on the bench I hope that he doesn't come on.

I know it looks like a bit of a witch-hunt against him or he is tonights 'scape goat' but I just feel like enough is enough with him.

Yer tea's oot Jamsie


adboy
 
The boy looks incapable of doing anything on the field, anytime he is on.

Enough time has passed from his debut to at least see something in him but I have only ever seen petulance from him


adboy
 
I don't think he has got what some others see in him, I just never thought he would amount to even half of what his 'potential' was bummed up to be. He might prove me wrong, however I think his chance to do so has passed.


adboy
 
I have been quite vocal about James Forrest on here. I don't care if everyone thinks the sun shines out his arse, I think he is pish and this 'he's carrying an injury, wait till he's at full fitness etc' crap that people peddle, to me, is just crap. He is utterly gutless - doesn't matter how fit he is, he's a bottle merchant.

And I maintain the stance that if he played for Rangers, he would be a laughing stock - the great white hype that was Chris Burke springs to mind.


adboy
 
A blind man could see that this guys 'potential' was nothing but a pack of lies told to everyone by his dad.

I notice the absence in the thread of some prominent posters that usually defend this clown? Where are you??

I've been saying for years that this guy never had the heart or desire. An utter shampoobag.

A bad smell.
I've just seen this :lol:

I know yous are only joking but GMS was a tricky winger before he came to us. It's almost as if management took that out of him. If Brendan could get Forrest playing like this maybe he can get GMS back to his best?
