Forrester not here.

[Tiddysdad]

I can't see Harry here after Christmas if he doesn't get game time. Lets just hope a proper manager can see his value and put forward the future is DRFC not the grass is green else where.

[Spud]

I was amazed to see Middleton replace Copps when we had Harry & Cameron Stewart on the bench.

[drfchound]

Me too, it should have been Harry F.
Maybe Jonesie didnt make it clear when he said "Harry, get stripped".

[dickos1]

Stancliffe told forrester to get stripped and then Jones shouted Middleton back while forrester was getting stripped and put him on

 I cant believe a dinosaur like Stancliffe is allowed anywhere near the bench. That shows how much work DF has on his hands.

[dickos1]

Stancliffe is with the academy with Wilson isn't he

[rich1471]

I believe that Jones does not get on with forrester that is why he is not getting much game time it would explain a lot if true

I thought Jones was better than that tbh

Yes he is, and has been for years. Old fashioned and arrogant. Hopefully DF will bring younger and more up to date backroom staff with him eventually.

[Draytonian III]

With new players most likely to be brought in the first one to leave should be Forrester, not consistent enough and he tends to go missing. Also cancel the loans of Stewart and Gobern

[DRNaith]

Outside of the Premier league I think most wingers (which is usually where HF has been played) are tagged as inconsistent

[DRFCSouth]

I can't put my finger on what the issue is with Forrester. To me, we should be looking to build a team around talents like him and Williams.

If he were to leave us, I feel someone would be getting a tremendous talent.

Hopefully DF will nurture him and get the best from him.

[drfchound]

Ditto to that.

I'm sure he is DtD but if there is acrimony between them and Jones feels he can't trust Forrester to give his best for him then it would be entirely reasonable of Jones not to play him.

I must admit, the last time Harry did get on the pitch as sub for ten minutes he didn't look the least bit bothered to me.

I would suspect it's more about Foresters attitude not his ability. When you are struggling attitude is everything, and jones wears his heart on his sleeve. Forester can go missing and strikes me as a bit arrogant.

[wing commander]

Frankly I can't understand it..How Forrester can't get in bottom 2 league 1 side which can't create many chances..is simply beyond me

[karldew]

Never really rated Forrester. A fluke goal against Gillingham last year, the goal against Barnsley (I think it was Barnsley?) and a good performance against Coventry is about all that stands out while he's been here?
Sure he has something but I think we'd get better from Tyson, N'guessen and Stewart?

[i_ateallthepies]

I'm willing to reserve judgement of Forrester's potential, he clearly has ability but as already said shows it all too rarely.  However, how many attacking players have we seen at Rovers who we know are better than they have shown for us.  I'd like to see what Ferguson can get from him, he could prove to be one of the best attacking midfielders in the division.

[DearneValleyRover]

Forrester can have all the potential in the world but since signing for us he's hardly shown it even when he's had game time. If he had and was as good as some on here think he is, he would have gone in one of the Transfer Windows. His contract is up at the end of the season, he will be off then so if another club is prepared to take him in Jan let him go.

[BillyStubbsTears]

How about the fact that when he's played, he hasn't created much?

[Rovers91]

Forrester is a quality player I don't think the managers he has played under here have helped, Dickov just about ruined any player with attacking qualities. Hopefully now DF is here and likes to play attacking football a player like Forrester will thrive.

[the vicar]

before we all start knocking anyone and getting rid just see what DF can do with than then decide

[DRFCSouth]

He was the next best thing when he arrived here, so something has occurred in the middle between then and now. Its a two way process, the club helping develop the player and vice versa.

He's the sort of player, if I was DF, I'd be taking to one side and telling him he is the match winner he needs for the future.

[The Red Baron]

Agreed. Forrester can potentially benefit greatly from the change of manager.

I got the impression with Jones that he's not a great believer in wingers or holding midfielders. I don't really see Forrester as a winger, but equally I don't think the diamond formation suits him.

Whereas the current players are creating so much? Forrester is a match winner, invisible all game but pops up with a game changing moment. He needs to be playing.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Remind me. What was the last time he changed a game? For the better.

[DRFCSouth]

He's been operating under a manager who wasn't getting the best out of anyone for a long time BST.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Forrester operated under a manager who got us to the edge of the playoffs last season. And when things got tasty in the key matches in the run-in, he vanished.

[The Beast]

You can tell Forrester's attitude stinks a mile off, unfortunately he's one of the only resalable assets we've got of any value. He needs to be playing regularly for the fact that we need to recoup some of what we've invested in him if nothing else.

He's out of contract at the end of the season isn't he, so can see him leaving on a free in the summer.
