The FORSTER Poll

[Scotty Mac]

7 games in - what do you think of this summers big signing?

This thread is pathetic to allow people the opportunity to slag him off give him the service and he will score.

well vote needs better service then

 

[BensGrandad]

sorry missed the vote but rectified now

 

[NMH]

I don't worry about him.

I worry about who is playing along with him, and that we must compliment players like him, Robinson, Cox, O'Callaghan (and also retain the latter's services) with decent formations and results.

 

[Silent Bob]

He's not had a lot of service but the way people talk you'd think he's had no chances and never had the ball at his feet. Been a disappointment so far for me I'm sorry to say.

 

[Napper]

prob just about worth 75k

Toss

 

[Mendoza]

I am pleased with him, but he needs better service, a bit of a waste of money but needs more time to settle in

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Looks a decent player who is sharp around the goal area. Agree about the service. I still think he will score 20 goals this season.

Until we actually find a midfielder who can pass the ball into feet and not see these 60ft long hoofs from the back he will struggle..even Mr Henry wouldn't score in our team

Although it seems Mr Henry can't score in the best team in the world lol

Certainly, service hasn't been up to scratch.

However, he's a player who seemingly contributes sod all else other than being capable of finishing a move off. That's not a luxury a team like ours can afford.

I would say it is. No other in our team can do it, have any other of our strikers scored this season?

Nope - but with a midfield as week as ours, i'd rather we played someone upfront who could contribute to our attacking way (such as Robinson) in an attempt to create more chances, as opposed to sticking someone up there who'll score a goal once every ten games and nothing else

no point at all in creating chances if you cant convert them.
We need to play ball to feet if we are going to play him but show no sign of doing it

robinson contributes in an attacking way, but when was the last time he scored?

ideally, you would play the two of the them together. trouble is, wilkins doesnt seem to know jake exists

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Forster needs the ball passed to his feet, because this is where he looks most dangerous. He can't win balls in the air against big defenders, and he is getting wasted by this.

 

[Braders]

wheres the option for "invisible man"

seriously, like everyone else on the board i had high hopes for Forster but so far i've seen 2 tap ins , an okish goal and a shot that he knew very little about in the end!

is it down to service though? personally i don't think it is , i think the problem lays more at the fact he gets himself marked out of the game (notice during throw in's he stands BEHIND the massive defenders and doesn't try to get in front of them , for corners takes the back stick and when the ball flies past him has no interest in chasing it) - overall so far for me a dud and it has to be said it would never happen but i would drop him for a few games to get his hunger to suceed and fight up abit..

 

[Da Man Clay]

Would make me less likely to work harder if I was him to be honest, he has been brought here to score goals and we are playing f***ing ridiculous long ball football. My attitude would probably be "well f*** you then, im 33 years old and dont need to be wasting my last few years chasing lost causes all day". Bet he wished he went to those championship clubs he had offers from.
