I'm not blaming him for everything I'm saying he was unable to manage a player or 2 properly. It happens. It's not a cop out either as we can see a marked difference in these players due to them being managed properly. Some players need an arm around them and a word of encouragement and patience, maybe Ronny wasn't able to see that. |

Was waiting on that one being pulled up. Keep going, there are literally dozens of posts of me defending Forrest going back about 5 years. There is justified criticism, then there is your criticism, which tends to be hysterical and nonsensical with little basis in reality. |

Selective quoting there, ignoring all the pish you wrote about Forrest a few months back |

You say you want him to have 'back to back productive seasons before any garlands are bestowed', I'm paraphrasing, not typing out word for word. That gives the impression that before you declare him good he has to be good this season and next, I don't think you state anything other than giving the impression you're still not impressed and he needs to do it again next season. Forrest has shown he's good enough plenty of times, now this season he's taken it to another level and is clearly one of our best players, I'd put him top three, top five at worst but when you consider some of his competition it's pretty good going. Your post gave me the impression of 'he's been good this season but I'm still not convinced'. |

Played well tonight, looking forward to seeing him destroy whoever they deploy at left back on Saturday. |

A few nice moments tonight and put in a solid shift. I've got a feeling he'll run riot on Saturday. |

Simply has to play on Saturday. Works harder and offers more for the team than the alternative and is showing a real incredible burst of pace and power when he's on the ball. |

I am not a fan of his but he has been much better this season than the previous four. I thought he was poor yesterday though. Not involved for most of the first half and ineffective when he did get himself into the game. Roberts did much more in the time he was on as his replacement. |

You have to remember though that it much easier to come on and make an impact when someone else has already done the leg work. Defenders are tired and the game is stretched - not really fair to compare the two. |

I take your point, and agree with it. However, I thought Forrest was conspicuous in his anonymity during the first half yesterday. Like every player he is entitled to a bad game from time to time but it's unfortunate he had a poor one (imho) in such a high profile fixture. |

Of the two players James puts in a shift in attack and defence. Paddy is attack and doesn't offer much protection.i like them both but agree James had done the leg work yesterday. That is why Brendan picks him ahead of Paddy. A bit like Griff and Dembele it's a first class problem for the manager deciding who to play. |

1st half we rarely went down Forrest' wing so you can hardly blame him for being ineffective when he saw little of the ball. |

Aye, everything good we did in the first half came from Sinclair on the left. Forrest was better in the 2nd half and got past his man on a number of occasions, it was Forrest that put the one on the plate only for Dembele to miss it completely. Roberts was excellent when he came on though, a real breath of fresh air and the huns had no answer for him. I'd still like us to ask the question of Man City. |

Was it ? Forrest was definitely involved in that move, need to go and watch it again, which I was planning on doing tonight anyway after the kids are in bed. |
