Because Lennon trusts Ambrose at RB more than Forster and rightly so...Forster is not mobile enough , or have the distribution to play RB...

Foster is a no nonsense centre half, can't play right back, as he's not comfortable on the ball. Just ask him to do what's he's good at

Thought he did ok, until those left hooks, obviously he hasn't got a left foot, hence why Hanlon came on, after Lennon blew his top a few times

To be fair he was asked to play left centre back where he is always going to be awkward on the ball. Actually defended well in the first half. Great to have Paul back though.

Lennon said after the match that he felt Forster was tiring .

Tbh. I thought he had a pretty poor game....wasn't Lennon's view.

Forster continually passed and headed the ball up field just anywhere.so often returned quickly...also hit far too many wild balls out of play.I thought over the years he would progress sadly he seems still to be kinda stuck not showing confidence or inspiring it around him.He has stepped in to help out really and doing his best so cannot be too critical of him but cannot see him as a first choice player anytime soon.He could do a good job perhaps elsewhere next year, I hope so as he tries hard and that is an aspect of his play we must admire.

Forster is a perfectly good defender and has potential although he is absolutely useless with his left foot and in his defence we seemed determined to play passes to his week side this afternoon

If you can't kick a ball with your "bad" foot you simply shouldnt be doing the job.

Why was he playing at left centre back rather than right back leaving the Ambrose/ McGregor partnership together?

Did u not see the quality of crosses from efe in the 2nd half...we'd never have got that from Forster at RB...that's why mate

He's good attacking the ball, just don't pass the ball to him

That's like having a man down then Billy.

For me, after today, Jordan has shown he's not got it for us in the League above, and although Keats did the business today after 92 minutes, we'll need better for next season.

He was one of the only players to get pass marks in the second half of the relegation season where he was largely playing right back. He was also our bigggest goal threat back then playing at right back. To be fair, he has bulked up substantially since then so probably isn't as mobile.

Not one of his best games, but being played as the left side centre half isn't his position, so I feel for the guy.

This about sums up my views too

Forster was fine until his two shanks out the park. Think he's a very decent CH but prob the poorest of our current 5. Shows the strength we have in that position when all fit(if that ever happens)

Said this at the game, it's not his natural position. I thought he did well today though

Was surprised he wasn't at RB instead of Ambrose

[tamig]

Jordon Forster was played wide left of the back three today. His left is as bad as Jason's right. The number of balls he screwed from his left side today was shocking. Basic stuff. No injury involved at all.

It looked that way to me. What makes you think it wasn't?

Jordan is very physical and would put any part of his body on the line to stop a goal, a very brave player.

He can sometimes he too composed on the ball for my liking, maybe he thinks he is better on it than he is.

I personally don't get the argument for a right centre half not playing on the left hand side, it shouldn't make that big a difference imo.

I personally like him although I think his time here is limited.

Sorry but got to agree with bigwheel here it was definitely a back 4.

So in the second half especially, why was Forster the widest left defender? Was Lewis constantly out of position by being too far forward? I don't think for a minute that was a back.four today.

Forster can only play right. That was proven today due to the constant failings on his left side. Paul Hanlon has played on the right with Fontaine on numerous occasions - and with much success - because Hanlon is competent on his right side as well as his left. Forster is incompetent on his left side.

It was a back 4. Absolutely no question about it.

That's how a back 4 operates when you have a wingback playing, Lewis was allowed to roam further forward when he got the chance, whereas Ambrose pretty much stayed back as he's a natural CH and was only filling in at RB. TBH Ambrose was caught out a few times because he kept drifting in to the centre instead of staying wide and hugging the sideline but they were definitely playing a back 4.

Forster is easily the worst centre half at the club.

Slow , cumbersome, zero composure, terrible distribution and his only redeeming quality is that he is a big lump hard to get past and can on occasions be a threat at the other end.

He was very poor and will now thankfully lose his place.

The guy was solid for most of the match, give yourself a shake.

You must have been watching a different game from everyone else then, crazy post.

[neil7908]

Forster is the definition of a no nonsense centre half.

His distribution is poor and for that reason he's going to really struggle to displace Hanlon or McGregor but I'd be more than happy to keep him at ER next season.

Forster's decision making is poor for me. He often charges out of defence to try and win a ball he's go no chance of getting, that's what led to Baird getting through on goal yesterday. He's ok to chuck in if we have to but I'm extremely glad Hanlon is back.
