Will Forrester

[bycars rob]

Last game v Forest Green he gave away one of the free kicks that they scored off but looked good apart from that. With more games he will hopefully make less mistakes and fulfil his undoubted potential.

He’s like any other young player in that regard, only going to learn by making mistakes, true in all walks of life.  This is where fans need to be a bit more sympathetic towards the likes of Robinson, Mipo, Butterworth, Small, McCarron and Co.  It’s easy to forget they’re far from the finished product and need to play competitively to improve, but hand in hand with that goes the risk of these players making errors in games.

[Ex Hamil Lurker]

Thought he had a very poor start but credit to him, looks like he’s working hard at it and is turning into a very useful player. 

[Valiiant]

 

He'll go for seven figures during his career. Hopefully for us first when he does leave.

A great and very clever signing by us ! Someone did some homework!

I firmly believe that Forrester alongside Hall will form the excellent backbone to our improving Team for the next few years. They will want to stay in a Club that is now very upwardly mobile in every aspect. They can be the rock that our dreams of Championship football(at least) can be founded upon.

Smith= Aspo, Forrester=Deano.

Closest centrehalf to Smith was Sproson. Not quick or tall, but could out compete more physically imposing players. Neither particularly adept at passing the ball. 

Not sure I can think of anyone that similar to Forrester. He looks to be developing into the player I thought Joe Davis would become before he decided to move to Leicester. Ironic that Davis decided under 23 football would make him a better player - Forrester that playing league football would make him a better player. My belief is Forrester will have a better career.

He s definitely settling in after a few tentative performances and a couple of mistakes.

hopefully he ll make us some money one day.. but football is ruthless and if you don’t perform there’s always someone ready to take your place.

I do think we are getting a growing reputation for improving young players which is so important for the calibre of player we can attract in the future.

Excellent prospect, like his athleticism and mobility.

[greengrass]

Do Stoke have a sell on clause.

[Old fort]

Forgotten he's still only 21. Given his age and how we are accelerating his development and turning him quickly in to an established league player, will we be able to soon sing, "He's one of our own"?  I'd imagine that Lard would love that  😉

They can have him back for £30,000,000 now before the price goes up that's if he really wants to sign for them again.

[The French Connection]

Which Sproson.

Got to be Phil.

[hamilboy]

I would say tbat he is more like a poor mans Neil Aspin.
