I wish him well. Seems a genuine, nice guy which is always a bonus these days.

This is another confirmation that we are also very good at reading when players have hit their own personal ceiling. Lots complaining especially as he scored against Bournemouth when sold. But longer term has proved to be the right decision was made by the club.

Part of Brentford folklore.
After conceding so early to go 0-2 down on aggregate.
Five years ago 29th May at Wembley and the rest is history.

Its amazing how the club achieves this.
I hope he gets another Championship move (except QPR) or decent move abroad.😀

Hmm. On the whole yes, but not Forss.

Iirc, he signed a 6 year contract with us. It surprised many when he couldn't get in the team afterwards. We wouldn't have offered that unless we thought there was a much higher ceiling than the one he reached.
 

Marcus Forss (Neftchi Fergana)

Seemed to have real promise but for whatever reason it hasn’t worked out for him. Hope he can restart his career somewhere

Was a great instinctive poachers goal. Remember when initially Thomas changed formation and played 5 at back at two up top Marcus was his preferred second striker to Toney, being picked ahead of Bryan.

I guess lower league one or maybe league two is his ceiling

Yes Bryan was usually playing at wing back with Toney and Forss up front. e.g. its debut away to Preston
In fact he didn't even start the first leg of the play offs, I can't remember if there was a specific reason for that.
But it switched Toney and Mbeumo up front for the second leg (Forss came on as sub) and the final.

Looking back at that first leg team selection it looks very strange have to say. I thought Thomas had moved on from playing Norgaard in the back three by then and Fosu in midfield who mostly was used from the bench? Rico was carrying an injury I recall ?

Might go back to AFCW as he did very well on loan there

I’ll always remember him for THAT goal! Still probably the most iconic game I’ve experienced in my 35 years!

Wembley that followed ?
First game against the Arse ?

So many great days to choose from, the list could go on

Agreed, we have been spoiled in recent years. But not sure I’ve felt the hairs stand up on the back of my neck like I did in that game. And never felt like I’ve played such a part in an outcome…. Genuinely felt like we were on the pitch with them!

If you go on the GTech stadium tour Marcus Gayle shows a doorframe with damage caused by Begovic, the Bournemouth goalkeeper. I like to think that my shouted ‘advice’ might have contributed in some small way to his bad mood. (I was in the front row, immediately behind the West Stand goal that Forss scored in.) At the end of the game Begovic turned around and made a money rubbing gesture with his fingers. Strange thing to do.

Bobo Begovic was so rattled that day.

I’ve never seen a crowd (despite only being 4000 of us) intimidate the opposition so badly.

That goal by Marcus is my all-time favourite Bees goal.

I seem to remember that although he didn’t score too many goals for us his shots were generally on target.

Another player who successfully progressed from the B team and, if the football gods allow, will continue to play at a decent level.

As I've said previously about that game, the whole COVID thing affected us fans, in the way we released our pent up emotions. Which must have had an effect on the Bmouth team, who hadnt experienced anything like that for over 12 months!!!
The 1st leg at their place was nothing like it.
We we perhaps a bit fortunate to have the 2nd leg at home, but we (including TF) certainly made the most of it!!!!

Sometimes it’s not about how many you scored for us but when you scored for us.
Marcus Forss will go down with Saint Marco of Djuricin in the history books.

A goal to beat QPR by Marco for the first time in too many years gave him footballing sainthood and a goal by Marcus against Bournemouth to take us to Wembley to get to the PL gives these two players Brentford passes for life.

They join Saint Emi of Marcondes as players who never hit the heights after ‘that goal’ they scored for us.
Djuricin, Marcondes and Forss 3 careers that never really took off but brings a knowing smile to a Brentford fan who witnessed those goals.

A very good natural finisher.
Would be excellent in the right team , and injury free.

He was good for us, id have kept him but timing and our progrsession, he took an opportunity elsewhere, understandably

I am surprised he never really kicked on at Boro but I don’t think we would have gained anything from keeping him. In his last half season with us he did nothing of note in a team where TF threw on Charlie Goode as an additional CF. When was he ever going to get a league game in 22-23?

Just one of many talented players whose real level is probably L1/L2 and we’ve forgotten that that is a pretty good level.

I put him well above league 1 although injuries may put him there.

He was a natural finisher. During that time under Frank, Frank made his decisions. If Forss wasnt used or used to his strenghts cant be too critical but there were quality moments with him.

Getting in the prem, who knows what he could have done but he would definitely been second fiddle who knows now.

I just don’t see any point at which there’d have been a role for him with us after the point at which we loaned him to Hull. He’s had several managers to impress and failed to do so. Even when we were short enough of options to bring back Maupay I don’t think you or anyone else thought “oh it’d have been better to have got Forss back”.

Not necrssarily better but i wouldnt have opposed it to find out.

Since leaving us, hes been injured, a lit i think. Hard tonimptess if thats the case
 

Marcus Forss (Neftchi Fergana)

Seemed to be played more as a winger under Carrick for Boro. Not his position.

I know that we’re biased, but it really is quite pleasing that, behind all the pressures that professional clubs have, there is a substantial amount of humanity out there when it comes to helping young footballers reach their potential.

Hopefully all parties get the outcome they want.
 

Marcus Forss (Neftchi Fergana)

Today he played the whole of the second half for Bolton in a pre season friendly.
 

Marcus Forss (Neftchi Fergana)

Nice chap and must have made enough to see him through life now.

Did he score at home to Preston??? At GP - game when Jeanvier hurt his neck?

Was that the last game of the season that we won 3-0 ?

I think Konsa and Maupay scored as did Forss with a low 25 yarder into the corner past Ripley.
 

Marcus Forss (Neftchi Fergana)

Shame he didn't get a chance with BW. Still a good striker and could do a job in L1 so fingers crossed. Alternatively plenty of leagues in europe where he could play in the top flight.
As some has said anatural finisher, but did he lack the explosive pace that a top striker needs in modern football?
