And I pick up fresh on the topic of Olsen not rubbishing DR's style.
I've said same about Raskin and actually think the same for Diomande.
I think that his tactics are affecting our best players.
Aphe, my point on Olsen is if u yourself know he's not suited our style or Danny's tactics would that not make u agree he's better not being signed again next season whether that's a loan or permanent, mate.

My player of the year would be Matondo, just because he's not been playing!

I wouldn't say he is not suited to the style or system, my friend.
He is a boy who is very low on confidence.
Some say he chooses whether he can be bothered or not, and that is untrue and disrespectful.
He has had periods in his career where he needs an arm around the shoulder.
Many huge players have been through similar.
He plays very safe and risk averse, I believe, because his confidence is extremely low and he doesn't want to set the frustrations alight by losing the ball trying risky things.

Stevie, so when those best players play well and the team plays well in games vs Celtic and Hearts, is it the exact same tactics which cause them to play that way? Tactics only seem to be an issue when we draw or lose; I don't ever hear anyone complain about them, or the subs, or the interviews when we are winning.
You can see that Olsen and Gassama, especially, are struggling with confidence, and that is difficult to recover quickly; however, one good game is all it needs.
I think the main difference with Raskin is he is actually sitting in mf now. I don't think this is his best role, and he is better in that chasing, harrying role when he seems to be at his best.

Angus, perhaps he can move a bit forward now Barron is back.
A mf 3 of Barron, Raskin, Chuckwuani is a very good mf to have.
