What's happening with him?


Folk saying he's going on loan. Others say permenant. Then others are saying away on loan but been offered a contract to stay...

What's going on with him? I for one would be gutted if we let him go. The lad is still very young and has a big future ahead of him and I wish for it to be at Hibs. Best thing to do would be tie him down on a longer deal and put him out on loan to get games.

He'd honestly start for me next to Hanlon. Terrific footballer. He won't leave unless it's just a loan.

He's not currently as good as the players we have brought in. There's some potential there though.

He's currently the 4th best CH at Hibs. He may improve with age but his positional play and concentration let him down. He's no more than a squad player at this moment in his career. A move away playing every week should help him. But like so many of our recent players that have come through our youth system I suspect Hibs will be the biggest club he plays for.

What has Forster done to be classed as a ''fantastic footballer''? Was very poor (along with the rest) when we went down and has hardly played since. Had some solid games last season but nothing to suggest he is better than Fontaine and McGregor never mind Hanlon.

46 games is a lot more than many players who have gone down as failures.

He is a decent young player but not currently much more than that. We have better players and in defence it's probably a less forgiving place to play.

He is a young lad learning his trade, hopefully that is it Hibs, a very good prospect who has been hampered with niggly injuries this season.

You never know, he could turn out to be a fantastic player, but give the lad some time to prove it.

Forster is still rough round the edges for me. He's not a great player as some seem to think, but given game time I feel could be! Loan would be good for him and I'd like to see him involved maybe next season.

But I don't think we should sell him outright as he's defo got something to offer imo. Stubbs knows better than us though so will have to wait and see.

Definitely wouldn't like to see Jordon leave ER. Thought from the first time I saw him playing for the under 20s that he was a future Hibs captain. He hasn't fulfilled his potential but he's not been helped by injuries. Sure he'll come through it though and establish himself as a first team regular - hopefully at Hibs.

Each and every game Jordon played v Hearts, watch the games and watch his will to win - often the best defender and 'attacker' on the pitch - I wouldn't lose him, definite potential there once we are promoted.

Got injured towards the business end of the season with TB if I recall well. Victim of circumstances unlucky with injuries and necessity of bringing others in.
I do despair at times the way some folks are relatively quick to discard the potential of the players we've brought through the ranks esp those that break through early like Jordon. Still don't get the folks that don't rate Hanlon but each to their own.

We lost 2-1 at ER v them and JF scored (April time maybe) - after the game two players were both gutted and raging in equal measure after they came out the dressing room - Scott Robertson (who sat in the dug out, empty stadium, gutted) and Forster who looked like he'd punch through the away dressing room wall !!

Rest of the players couldn't give one !

Certainly not now, no, but given a chance to develop he could be, and hopefully it is with Hibs.

The others (Stanton Harris Handling and i will include Insall in this group) will probably never play for Hibs again.

Maybe harsh on Insall but that's just my opinion.

Deek got an opinion on JI ? I heard he's 'raw' SH - have to say it must be difficult stepping up the levels he has - maybe worth giving a seasons worth of first team training before judgement ??

They all looked like lost schoolboys when we went down, no one tried to take us by the scruff of the neck and pull us through that horrible time, hopefully the ones who are still with us will learn from that and never want to be in that position again as a footballer.

We are now hopefully on the right track and be back in the top league next season.

That was the same game he got caught out twice when marking Paterson. Like his attitude however seems to pick up loads of injuries and also work to do on positioning. Would prefer a loan to a sale though.

I like Jordon and think he has a future but to say he was good that season we went down is nonsense. The entire defence without Hanlon was awful. You're correct about that Hearts game, two shocking goals lost. Forster, like Nelson and McGivern were all over the place every week.
He looked much improved under Stubbs and would probably be playing far more had he not got injured in that daft Petrofac cup

He reminds me very much of Ballie. I'm not a scout, and I'm not a coach, so I have no idea if he has genuine potential or if he has peaked already. If Stubbs and his staff don't fancy him then his wages are better spent elsewhere.

Unfortunately Forster was left high and dry during that time, Nelson and McGivern were not the type to help a young CH in a time of need, he was beginning to have an understanding with Hanlon but injuries and the introduction of Nelson didn't help.

I agree that the biggest issue that season was Hanlon getting injured. Didn't help Forster's development at all.

Hibs are going to offer him a contract on the same terms as he is on. If he moves to another club on a permanant basis and turns down our offer we will get a development fee for him.

Reading between the lines, I dont think we will see Forster at Hibs again. I have no evidence of that. Just the impression I get.

I agree, he's raw but has talent and nobody can question his commitment. Not many centre defenders come through the ranks, but i believe if he went out and got a bit more experience he just might be capable of coming back and being that good rugged centre half, who defends well and also scores a few at the other end.

All the best Jordon. :top marks

Where's Sergey to tell us that he should have been loaned out to someone in the Bostick superglue Johnsons Vauxhall paint conference north, where he is sure to come back to us at least of EPL standard :greengrin

Seriously .... I still think he has loads of promise and certainly a good attitude, lets hope he does well down there and gets lots of game time, FWIW I think his race is far from run at Hibs and I hope he comes back for another go next season.

At least he's gone to another member of the Green & White fraternity .... good luck Jordan.

Not that my opinion is the one that matters, but I see nothing in either of them that shows they're better than Forster. Yes, they're more experienced, but that shouldn't be the main consideration. He has more to his game than both, and just needed the chance. A club in our position should always look to the academy first, and prioritise producing our own players. Forster hasn't been given an adequate chance, and I can't even remember him playing poorly when he did.

Jordan is no way near the level of performance of our 3 main central defenders yet IMO. The lad has a lot of potential but looks like he is very injury prone. He needs to be playing football now and he is not getting that at Hibs.

The only thing that I can think Forster has that the others don't is that he'll attack the ball in the opposition box and might score the odd goal. But the others are better defenders imo and that is what they're there to do. Defence has been pretty solid all year, I don't think Forster would improve that.

He has massive potential and Stubbs should be giving him an improved contract and promising him game time, be that on loan or at Easter Road. Fontaine and McGregor are in their early thirties and are good to have around but I think Jordon has the potential to become a better centre half than both of them, and with Fontaine out of contract at the end of next season, it'd be the perfect time for a more experienced and improved Jordon Forster to come in and grab a place in our starting line-up. He's one for the future. Give him an improved contract, put him on loan and get back a better player a la Thibaut Courtois.

Concern about his injuries? I assume he will have the same chances at Plymouth as at ER to get a run in the first team so seems a strange move if it is simply about us wanting him to get a run of games?

Unless we are simply freeing up some wages to allow a certain signing for the rest of the season and Stubbs thinks we have enough cover at centre back?

He served the time was asked to serve.

If he can now influence others to not make the same mistake he did then that is appropriate rehabilitation and perhaps he can now be a role model if that is what he is choosing to do.

If I recall the case it was the morning after that he was driving and there were circumstances around stuff being posted the night before about his girlfriend which had affected him and which pushed him to making the wrong decision to drive back to sort it out.

It is stupid and it is of course utterly tragic but to say he is just a despicable character that now can't have any positive role to play in any way is just not reality I'm afraid.

Didn't we get Jordon from Celtic? If that's right are we entitled to a development fee?

Oi! Thats my favourite english team ( especially when they played in green with white sleeves!!)
a good wee team and doing well. Hope Jordan gets lots of game time and comes back soon :thumbsup:

From my Pilgrim mate:

"2 silly goals leaked, cost us the game 😒 hence moving for Forster. Still top tho."
