Barring the daft tackle late on i thought he actually did ok,he had the hearts defence in a flap when he ran at them and he was finding his way into the box. His problem remains finding a teammate to finish the move off,or his own finishing itself which is beyond tame.

Wait. I thought he was in the form of his life and he was one of the players that the manager had undoubtedly improved?
No manager in the world can give Forrest what he needs. A brain, a heart and courage! He could save a casting director a lot of time as he could play 3 parts in the wizard of oz

I really don't understand posts like this. He was awful. Truly awful. He did his usual hiding and I can't remember him going past his man and putting in a cross.

Sorry, not good enough. Established player that does not contribute. His only attribute - pace - will wane soon enough. Punt asap.

Clearly looking to leave. He'll have a similar career to ross wallace in england. Cheerio james, you'll be remembered for having lots of potential but were far too lazy to realise it.

Ross Wallace has had a pretty decent career to be fair. Played in the EPL for a full season with Burnley. If I remember correctly he scored a last minute free kick to give them their first EPL victory. I doubt Forrest will ever reach those heights. His Karangandy moment will be the highlight of his career.

He beat the guy twice. Both times , as usual, the final ball went straight to hearts player.

He is, and has been, a bluffer for a long period of time.

Pre and post injury.

He is content with mediocrity.

Absolutely no ambition. None.

He is taking up a wage. Stick him in a cannon and I'll fire it.

Apart from that he's duff and has been for a long, long time.

He doesnt really buddy. He looks like he does with a couple of runs. Trouble is his misplaced pass/cutback when players have burst a gut to get into position or his stupid powder puff efforts on goal when someones made a run usually leave a counter on. This puts us under all sorts of pressure at times.

His penchant for coming to a halt after any sort of run. A screeching brakes on halt. Usually after he's offload the ball or misplaced a pass. He leaves his team mates with the ball, under pressure to find a pass, and saunters off.

Does he have an identical twin?

He loves walking. I suppose there is little chance of him getting injured if he does.

This is after he threatens to provide width, doesn't fancy it, cuts inside to join the rest of the congested hordes, lays it off, doesn't come to anything, then walks and watches while fixing his hair.

He's an imposter.

He's a fine example of the shirt shrinking to fit the player.

Apart from that he's fine.

He is consistently polling in the top four of just about every table in the POTY / MOTM vote this season

Ess, that maybe indicative of something else.

It's only my opinion, but I find hime to be the most frustrating Celtic player I've seen for a long time.

It is not,and never has been to do, with injuries. It's his attitude.

Considering his potential, he should be achieving a lot more, that's the frustration.

Despite Johanson's flaws, if Forrest he had his work ethic, he would be MOTM every week.

He should leave Celtic, and when he does he will disappear into the the oblivion of second-rate Englandshire football.

And the thing is, he would be content with that.

I used to get really pissed off with his hands in the air appealing to the ref stuff while play was on going.

Other than that, I thought he had real potential and I do believe he is a skillful player but his career has been blighted by injury
I have some sympathy for the lad there, as it looks like the long lay offs have affected his progress.

However, I don't understand the amount of flak he takes - he hasn't been great but neither has anyone really. (not specifically aimed at your comments)
Some of the comments against him are outrageous - he is a player who has struggled with injury and is trying to put together a run of games that will hopefully see him back to form.

I just had a look at the player ratings and overall he has done well - disproportionate to the amount of abuse he takes and thought it worth pointing out
