Nelly Terraces Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I wish they did play for 1 of those clubs. Bog standard at best. Forrest is a headless chicken, Oda & Vargas blow literally every opening & chance we create & a guy like Grant has 1 good game & thinks he’s Lionel Messi. Sooner folk wake up & realise these types of guys aren’t good enough the better it’ll be for everyone concerned. Living in denial is very counterproductive.

stirlo Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Except Forrest used to play for Livi and many of us were keen for Hearts to sign him and very pleased when he did sign for us. Clearly he has his limitations but all in all he's been a decent signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be pissed off, it'd be weird if you weren't, but the multiple threads about individuals and comments on every thread about how perfectly handy players should be nowhere near us is odd.

Gordon_1874 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 If either Forrest or Oda has started on Saturday it may have gave us an outball and the Dundee defence something to think about. Pace and being direct is something we lack in attack, both of these players have this attribute. I'd like to see Oda in particular get more minutes from the start.

Locky Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I don't ever like to bash James Forrest much. He was clearly signed as a squad player from a much weaker team. Despite this, I actually think he's done alright. Gives his all more than Barrie McKay that's for sure. Probably on half the money compared to him too. Oda was nothing more than a foray into the Japanese market in the hope we'd share the wealth of Celtic's success. I've never really seen it with him. A generally poor player who's not improved at all IMO. He'll find a level where he'll stand out. This is not it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxandCapeTownJambo Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 we really have some mentalists don’t we one good performance we are going for second one bad performance and they want half the players sacked yes we were shocking at Dens and I was well pissed off but I support every player who wears the maroon jersey week in week out these boys would have imploded if they had spent their first 20 years of supporting us from the mid 60’s like some of us did and we struggled week in week out Support the team!

OTT Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 its about having the right players when we play the right teams. Forrest certainly doesn't have the decision making skills to succeed against better sides. Oda is still developing. But thats why we have Dhanda & Spittal. Important that we use them properly and as much as possible. I'm far from happy that neither started against Dundee. IMO it was a factor in us losing the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsjambo Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 At least Forrest always tries to go by players and get crosses in with a fair amount of success, never hide’s even if he’s not playing well. We’ve had a lot worse players than him over the years, I like him. as for Oda, he has shown flashes of ability, maybe doesn’t have the temperament to play at this level though but the only way to find out is to give him something he’s not had since he’s been here, a run of back to back games in the starting lineup. Until that happens it seems unfair to me to write him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S Form Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Unless I’m mistaken Forrest played an important part in us getting a win at Dens last season. At our first goal (?) he had a run into the box and would likely have scored had Shankland not taken the ball off his toe. It’s a pity Naismith couldn’t find a space for Forrest on Saturday - things might have turned out differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I think what some people lose sight of at times is that not every player in the squad can be a first eleven calibre player. We couldn't afford to pay twenty five Craig Gordons or Lawrence Shanklands. So there naturally has to be some players in the squad who are 'replacement level' while at the same time still being capable. Someone like Alan Forrest fits right into that category. Would he be in my first choice Hearts team? No. Do I want him to play every week? Absolutely not. Do I think he is a worthwhile player to have in the squad? Yes I do. Alan Forrest has done some good things in a Hearts jersey and he always gives 100% effort. Some folk will say that is the minimum he should do given we are paying him but we all know it doesn't work like that. Some players play like they couldn't care less. So let's keep criticism fair and also acknowledge the good things that players bring to the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
