Of course there's a debate, Armstrong goal v Milan last year. Admittedly it was a tighter angle but Matthews could easily have had a shot away and chose not to. Im certainly not going to slate Forrest for that decision tonight, happens all the time. |

Could be useful in Europe (CL Group Stages ) on the counter, judging by his performance tonight and previous ones such as against Spartak where he changed the game when he came on.Could be even more useful if he gets his mojo back... Edited by jamieboy, 5 Aug 2015, 10:53 PM.

Aye, looked like he shat it a wee bit. When Forrest has confidence and form he's superb, but sometimes he does things like square when he needs to shot ffs. Did he not do the same against Ajax? |

I think his poor decision after running clear is exacerbated by the fact that it was 1 of only 2 clear cut chances we had the entire tie from open play. Correct sub, at the correct time. His pace terrified them. |

Personally i'm not his biggest fan. But simply put; there's people in our support who are out to get him. His decision to square it in the 2nd half was the right one. The same people would have murdered him had he shot and missed.

Agree with this. The goalkeeper was very quick to come out and narrow the angle Forrest would not have much to shoot at. |

Mathews is a full back. Forrest is an attacking winger who should have buried it. |

Agree with this. People slaughtering JF after such a fantastic run are being a little OTT. He should have shot but surely he deserves credit for running at a retreating defence from his own half and creating one of the best chances of the night. He did well when he came on. |

Forrest only has pace, that's it. If he is up against a pacy defender that he can't knock it past and beat easily then he goes missing. He also doesn't really have the skill or awareness to be a top player yet. That was in evidence again in that run last night. However, I still live in hope that this will develop in him as he is certainly a threat to tiring players late in a game. Maybe that is his best role in Champions League football anyway. When he isn't injured, or throwing his hands in the air. |

That run is the absolute minimum you have to expect from Forrest though. The run doesn't count for nearly as much if he messes the bed when it matters. |

Did well in his cameo last night. It still remains to be seen if he can put in a performance for a whole game, then a series of games without getting injured again. |

For an attacking midfielder, in an away tie when a goal would kill it stone dead, and a fair gap at the keeper's near post, I was ragin that he squared it and screwed it up. I would also have been ragin if he had shot and missed. There's no excuse for not at least testing the keeper in that situation. He's either a poor decision-maker or a schytebag. Or both. |

Still showing glimpses. If he could put it all together, we'd have ourselves a player. Transplant Broony or Stefan's mindset into this dude. |

Aye. He'd be receiving a fair bit less ire had he actually decided to have a dig, rather than look like a bottler. |

I think that is a bit harsh. Not many players in our team have that ability in their locker. I am not saying he is perfect but he fashioned probably our best chance of the night by himself. |

This is Forrests game. Bring him on with 20-30 minutes left against tiring opponents in a stretched game. |

I don't think he's either. I think it's a confidence thing with him. He's career to date has been ruined by injures, he still doesn't look comfortable and doesn't look like he's running at full pelt. Maybe he is and it is the injuries catching up with him? I'd have rather he took the shot himself last night as he made the chance. He is actually a good finisher so was disappointed that he chose to square it. |

I don't think he's fit enough to start an away game in Europe. His inconsistency and ability to hide when the going is tough doesn't help either. GMS was rotten last night, but I'd definitely rather we started a match with him, than Forrest. I'd say that he has definitely merited being picked, in his short time with us. Although his defenders on here will always argue otherwise. Stokes Syndrome, I believe it's called. |
