Shinnie and Forster

[Diclonius]

Any word on their injuries? Both doing well until they came off.

[B.H.F.C]

Didn't think Forster was injured? I thought he was subbed because of his performance, thought he was awful. Good to see Hanlon back.

[CL0762]

Aye I thought Forster went off due to the couple of shanked passes and then the body check on Aird, Lennon went straight for Hanlon after he committed that foul.

Forster was having an absolute mare.

Not someone I can take to at all.

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

[Steviethebear]

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

[DTS]

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

Foster was playing fine. He had a few shanked passes because he was forced to play on his left hand side, which is difficult for a right footed centre back.

If Paul Hanlon was fit to play he should have done.

Subbing JF like that was bogging man management.

Who cares about man management. He's paid to win games and his substitutions helped do that. We might not have gone that if Forster kept shanking the ball out the park.

[Tom Hart RIP]

Shinnie has a shoulder injury. Hopefully not dislocated but have to wait and see. NL wasn't confident he'd make Wednesday

[whiskas]

My take was Forster was subbed to give Hanlon a run out. Wasn't his greatest performance but wasn't an absolute nightmare imo

[lucky]

Shinnie got nailed time and time again, Forster is a squad player who was having a mare when the ball was on the ground

Foster was largely poor....his heading and distribution today were rank

If he's so one-footed as to be 'absolutely useless with his left foot', and he has a 'weak side' to which his team-mates can't pass without him losing the ball, then he certainly ISN'T a 'perfectly good defender' at any professional level at all.

It beggars belief that a guy can be at a professional club for as long as he has been without the coaches making him work and work on his 'weak' foot until it isn't 'weak' any longer.

[Hiber-nation]

Jordan did ok. Hasn't played a lot and struggled with distribution on his left side which is understandable.

Excellent sub by Lennon to bring Hanlon on, changed the shape of how we took it forward from defence.

Agreed. I don't think it was a reflection on Forster's performance at all.

I agree, think he was surprised to get pulled off

Was working today so only a caught second half on radio. According to Craig Paterson he was stretching his calf and he predicted he would have to be subbed not long before he was. That was just after they'd slated him twice for hitting the ball straight out of play mind you. Sounded like Lennon was going mad at him too.

[007 Mickey Weir]

Forster had a spat with Lennon. Bit unfair but Lennon ripped Forster after his two bad clearances. Forster shouted back and I thought k Lennon decided to sub him.

Fair enough to me.

This isn't toy town football or Sunday amateur. If you can't concentrate to ensure you're not making daft mistakes then it's no exaggeration to say it costs people jobs. He did two in quick succession, why would Lennon wait until his next mistake?

[The Baldmans Comb]

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.

That's the spirit.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

I like Forster, athletic and dominant in the main. He was honking today though, in terms of his passing, and I'm sure he'd be the first to admit it.

[Smartie]

Forster was excellent for about an hour.

He was starting to lose the head before he went off though. Obviously there were the dodgy clearances on his weaker side but he also didn't look great at the goal.

With Hanlon being on the bench, the change was a bit of a no-brainer and it did shore us up a bit.

It's pretty bold to change your back 4 in a game like that voluntarily but fair play to Lennon for making the change.

Some of the negative comments about Forster above are total nonsense though.

I bet he was.

[Radium]

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

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

Agree. He's miles away from being good enough I'm afraid.

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.
