Cowshed118 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 John McGinn is a far, far better player than Ross Forbes. It's not even up for debate. Tbh i like McGinn but Forbes has scored more goals and had more assists than him this season playing in the same division so what would he have to do in your opinion to be deemed to be as good as Mcginn ?

Forbes still has weaknesses such as his lack of pace and his ability to fall over either in the box or 25 yards from goal trying to win a foul. His goals and assists stats have been top drawer this season but he is far from a top player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 His goals and assists this season are fucking brilliant btw, he also fits in well with Morton as a team. But he's not a better player than McGinn, that's just silly. Will he get a big move of the back of this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 McGinn is a smashing player I know he was injured for around 6 weeks but 5 goals this season is pretty poor imo. Just had a look at his stats and he only managed 3 league goals last season. Can see why supporters of other clubs aren't entirely enthused by him Scottish Cup winner though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always struck me as more of a possession, keep-the-ball-moving sort of a player. Sort of player you could stick the ball to in a tight spot and he'll hold off the opposition, retain the ball, and bring his teammates into play. Also the sort of player who could beast Victor Wanyama in a national semi final at Hampden. I'd imagine. Edit: pipped by @Bobby_F ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 He's the type of player who goes to Hampden and wins Cup finals. He's also the type of player to get MOTM performances on his international debut. Forbes will never get near that level, good player at this level though.

Similar style of player, a baller but not really an eye for goal. Only managed 4 last season, but already 10 this season. Similar age to McGinn, who definitely has potential to add goals to his game imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for Murdoch and Lindsay's work rate he wouldn't have had such a good season. It's no coincidence that now when Murdoch and Lindsay have become tired, Forbes' assists/goals have dried up. He could go from now till the end of the season without a goal/assist and his stats would still be outstanding though. We've got him tied down for next season already. Unlike McGinn, he's not mobile enough for the Premiership which is why Partick ended up having to punt him a few years ago. I've not got any worry of losing him.

Mr.Blue Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 No one is arguing that Forbes hasn't had a superb season but taking off the blue and white tinted specs and being honest John McGinn is a better overall player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

port-ton Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 It isn't even up for debate which one of them is a better player, and if anyone is suggesting Forbes is without being at the wind up needs their head examined. Which one I'd rather have in my team can at least be argued, especially if the team is the current Morton team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffy will probably win manager of year unless Hibs win the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Cummings will win player of year. Not saying I agree or don't agree but that's what will happen. Duffy will probably win manager of year unless Hibs win the cup. I've seen a lot of hibs over the past few years and mcginn has never stood out. Cummings has always performed against us on the other hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
