I'm with him, he's not impressed at all IM0Don't think PC fancies Raskin at all.

You've hit on what I think is a key problem with our squad. We keep hearing about how many of our players are great in training and the effort they put in (even Wright) yet training doesnt give an idea how a player will behave mentally on the pitch.Got to wonder what he's doing (or not doing) in training if Lundstram's keeping him out the team atm.
Im being fussy here mate but why abbreviate names ? Not everyone is able to work that out quickly. You've gone on to just write "raskin" in the same post... Why not NR, or just write all three players names. No consistency like I said I'm being fussy but there will people say spending 10-20 seconds trying to figure out who the initials are. For the sake of about an extra second just typing it out.MD and DS are our best players in there. Hopefully can work together.
Raskin? Guy has done nothing more than the rest of them. Possibly worth trying though.
He's not been given much of a chance since he came back from injury while lundstram hobbles about towing his caravan.MD and DS are our best players in there. Hopefully can work together.

I see Raskin is this week's winner of 'gets better the longer he doesn't play' award on FF
Hagi and Katic will be jealous they are the forgotten men
Also been injured and at least he looks offended when the team loses the ball and puts a shift in to win it back, see Dowell in the OF game for how NOT to track back and put a shift inOr we could drop Cantwell? He’s been shite and he constantly gives the ball away?
Tbh if it's between Raskin & Sterling for CM, it's Sterling all day & if that means Borna back in at left back, then fine.No, some can’t stand the thought of Dowell or Lawrence in midfield. Borna at LB too so Sterling probably plays that role.
He's from Greenock.Im being fussy here mate but why abbreviate names ? Not everyone is able to work that out quickly. You've gone on to just write "raskin" in the same post...

We need 3 that’s where we are being over runWhy 3? only need 2 centre mids 4 2 3 1 formation. Dio and Sterling for me
Or we could drop Cantwell? He’s been shite and he constantly gives the ball away?
I’d pick Raskin before Lundstram but it won’t happen, John’s one of the leadership team after all.

Raskin is awful.
He has played regularly at youth international levels throughout his career so he can’t have suddenly turned into a duffer, despite what some say on here.Seems to be the case.
We chased him for some time too, paid a hefty fee to to get him early.
I like the O.P.'s option of not playing with a 10. Gerrard tended to go with 3 in midfield. You could have Cantwell and Sima as the wide attackers.
We are a stepping stone to almost any player we sign to be fair ,who the %^*& wants to stay in this pishy league for a minute longer than they need to.We are just a stepping stone for Mr.Raskin to EPL fame and fortune.LOL!
Better than sideways Lundstrum surelyHas Raskin got better by sitting on the bench? Last time he played he was like a man down.
People are getting desperate roll on the summer and this season to end!
Yep and us and PC will suffer for it along with the chuckle bros.Lundstrum starts on Sunday, a cert. Whether we like it or not.
Same, he picks Lawrence ahead of himDon't think PC fancies Raskin at all.
Aye,but you don’t go blabbing about it,before you have even establishedWe are a stepping stone to almost any player we sign to be fair ,who the %^*& wants to stay in this pishy league for a minute longer than they need to.
What's wrong with Sterling at right back to strengthen our defence on that side because we all know they will target that area for obvious reasons.nobody needs to tell that wee jump the dyke how poor a defender Tav is ,he knows it and will try to exploit us thereI’d rather have Borna at LB with Sterling in midfield than have Sterling at LB with one of Lawrence, Dowell or Raskin in midfield.
We should have gone with Borna LB, Sterling and Lundstram at Dens.
Thankfully Diomande is back. Least we’ll have a bit of movement, ability and industry in the midfield and these long, aimless balls from Goldson and Lundstram should be knocked on the head. We don’t have a target man up to. Dessers and Roofe should not be dropping slightly deeper to try and knock on a floated long ball. Especially when we don’t have players to get past them and run into knock downs/flicks.
I wouldn't play raskin in the east of Scotland league. Don't know what folk have seen when he has played.
Was in a rush and couldn’t be arsed typing lolIm being fussy here mate but why abbreviate names ? Not everyone is able to work that out quickly.

No.I know he won’t do it but could this midfield 3 be the answer for now?
Your point is?How many good games versus them has he had?
Only way Raskin will get to Chelsea is if he gets a season ticketRaskin is poor. He wants to end up at Chelsea.
Agreed. Best players should play in their best positions.Tbh if it's between Raskin & Sterling for CM, it's Sterling all day & if that means Borna back in at left back, then fine.
Raskin is awful.
yes give it a bash why not and up frontI know he won’t do it but could this midfield 3 be the answer for now?
Haha fair enough mate but you could be arsed typing raskin. fools like me canae keep up with that shitWas in a rush and couldn’t be arsed typing lol
I think he has been told he can move on? That has affected his performances?The guy played a major part in dragging this team back into a title race. Along with the captain, over the course of the Clement's time he's probably been our top performer. We're only talking 3 weeks ago the majority on here were wanting him nailed down to a new contract.
I always think back to Ricksen, Rae and Malcolm carrying us through games and realizing that the level we play at sometimes doesn't require the world's greatest footballers, but people that know it's 99% effort at times in these SPFL slogs. I think we've lost sight of that a bit, as much as I know football has also moved on - the problem is that our opponents are basically a carbon copy of those three in terms of style on a weekly basis and we need to overcome that.I know he won’t do it but could this midfield 3 be the answer for now?
He's had 2 good games for me. One was against the bheasts, possibly the dead rubber 3-0.I wouldn't play raskin in the east of Scotland league. Don't know what folk have seen when he has played.
Raskin must be woeful considering he is a Belgian U21 international and the gaffers Belgian you'd think he'd know more about him than anyone else at the clubDon't think PC fancies Raskin at all.
I think it would be extremely counter productive of the manager to let him know now he wasn't in his plans for next season.I think he has been told he can move on? That has affected his performances?
I think this is the case. Not sure though but would make sense. He looks deflated and dejected, news like that would do that.
