Forrest’s long road back

465

The last thing James Forrest needed on returning to the first team after a lengthy injury absence is a two-week international break.  James needs games to deliver the match fitness that is simply not possible by training.  It could take him until the end of the season before he is at anything like his best.

John Kennedy will be keen to get James fit for the business end of the Scottish Cup, so I expect he will make substitute appearances in most games over the coming weeks, and perhaps a start on 3 April and play part of the game against Arbroath or Falkirk in the Cup itself.  The Cup is only a landmark, though, like the rest of his teammates, the priority for James is to be in peak condition for the summer’s Champions League qualifiers.

In terms of Sunday, it’s not often I say this, but I think the players owe us one.

  1. Horrible feeling this morning waking up on a ftq game day totally uninterested in the game.

     

    Even during their cheating 9 I still wanted to see Celtic and pump them at every opportunity. I think I’ve fallen out of love with Celtic.

     

    This season has been a game changer for me in many ways.

    Shop window time for many in our squad – that’s what they’re playing for – not just pride – DENIA.

     

    I hope our bhoys are hurtin’ enough to show them what’s what.

     

     

    Successful return to playing over 55s fitba’ today – got about 50mins in at RB, Left Mid and then CF due to enforced injury – we won 7-4! Happy days.
