I'm a Forrest fan but one thing that bugs me is he has never really done it against the huns from recollection, definitely not on a consistent basis at least.

Assists are one of the most pish stats invented. However, an assist is usually the last pass to the goal scorer. On that basis Forrest had an assist on Sunday and also had one on Armstrong’s goal in the 1-1 defeat at Celtic Park.
Playing with words.

An assist - made the goal for a team mate.

An assist - for me anyway - is the setting up of a goal , creating the opportunity.

Not a pass into midfield traffic where the receiver has to hold off an opposing player then curl the ball into the net from 25 yards.

James made a goal for Moussa at Pittodrie with a beautiful cross that just had to be finished - but you knew that anyway.

He's been a first team regular for 8 seasons, for half that time there hasn't been a team called Rangers in our league. I think people are making too much out of it, he's scored CL goals and in 3 LC finals in a row, eff the huns.

Played really well in the Samaras game at Ibrox.

Like I said, I'm a Forrest fan but I just wish I could walk away from a game against them and think.....he effing roasted them carrots there.

For whatever reason it just doesn't seem to completely click for the wee man against them.

You could probably say the same about him against Killie or whoever, it is strange that he hasn't had many good games against them but it's not something that I'd hold against him. 2 more chances against them this season :thumbsup:

I think he's got a more useful method of working out someone's contribution to a goal per 90mins based on the expected likelihood of a chance becoming a goal or something along those lines.

I thought he was decent again last night, shame he couldn't grab a goal for us.

EDIT: He tracked back really well last night too, I noticed.

9 games without a goal. Time for Roberts to be given a start.

Great wee return pass into Dembele early on for what should have been the opening goal. Might have done better with his chance in the first half to at least get it on target.

Forrest for the most part is still playing reasonably well compared to most of them.

Put him on the left -Play Roberts on the right and Sinclair gets benched as back up.

:thumbsup:

Thought Forrest played well last night, delivered some great balls that strikers cry out for. Need him on the pitch.

I much prefer refer James wide right but against teams who just want to sit in and are doubling and trebling up in the wide areas maybe him cutting across to get a shot away from the left is a better option than the one than the totally ineffective Sinclair with Roberts coming back in on the right

Yeah fair point. Paddy can come in for Sinclair as Forrest is still our best performing winger.

He was our biggest threat any time he got the ball.
