Connor Barron

[West London Bear 61]

I agree that Raskin has been head and shoulders above most in the team for the majority of this season, but I have been really impressed with how Connor Barron has improved under Barry Ferguson.  It was always clear that he had a wee something about him, but seemed to always take the safe back pass option when in possession.  I have noticed from that number 6 position against the Dundee vermin and Hivs he was definitely looking at more forward runs and passes.  Long way to go I know, but he's got a wee bit of Stuart McCall about him.

 

Ferguson may not have faired too well managerially but both Raskin and Barron have thrived under his mentorship.

Both were fit and raring to go. A fit Barron enables Diomande and Raskin to play more freely and further forward. Still, having three "full-time" central midfielders is more often than not one too many, as we lack firepower up front.

He has been good recently, but I thought he was excellent at the start of the season too

I agree, but as the team struggled you could sense that he got caught up in it and he seemed to become more a percentage player, which we can't carry.  But I feel he is stepping up.

Reminds me of Alex McDonald a midfield workhorse who will get better

Maybe next season if used right Barron, Raskin and Lyall Cameron might form a solid midfield. 🤞 great things will come our way next season with the added addition of a new number 9 and a few new additions.
