baillieinleeds Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 It's a pity we couldn't get Clarkson, as his experience would have been brilliant. But we'll have to see how it goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Good signing, Shame about it only being 6 months though as it will leave us looking for a striker after Christmas. Agree with this entirely. Maybe Dundee weren't happy to let him go out for a full season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hopefully if Hemmings, Stewart and Loy do their job we'll get Wighton for the whole season. It may be that if he holds down a place in our first eleven that Dundee will happily extend the loan til the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1RonnieCoyle Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 i wouldnt read to much into the deal only being 6 months. i read last week a piece from hartley that stated he was delighted that a championship club was interested in taking craig on loan, hartley rates him highly but still feels he has a lot to learn and since the championship has rangers hibs and st mirren in the league its the next step in craigs career according to hartley. he also stated that the length of any loan deal was determined on how well Loy, hemmings, stewart, Mcgowan, Low, ferry harris, mcginn, roberts all perform during the season, and if their wasnt a place for wighton then the loan could be extended, again depending on craigs development aswell. cracking signing for us even if it is only for 6 months, but he should be capable of standing out at this level from what ive heard from dundee fans and reports. another piece of the rovers jigsaw masterpiece. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruyffTurnFerry Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hope Wighton signing isn't gonna disturb Vaughans development with us in the first team, be great to see them both combine as both great up and coming talents which I'm sure we're gonna hear lots of in the future 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Wighton is more of a number 10 player than a 9 and will likely create chances and link up well, not sure he's an out and out goal scorer. If Vaughan is more of a number 9 player then it could work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vaughan is more of a number 9 player then it could work. No, Vaughan is a drop deep, link up play kind of player, but then Megginson could easily play in behind as well - the only out an out number 9 we have is Stewart, it may be that McKinnon will try playing Wighton as the most advanced number 9 type anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vaughan is more of a number 9 player then it could work. Vaughan is more of a poacher, its stewart who i suggest is our No.9 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.T Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Really hope Wighton establishes himself in the team and helps you boys do well. It's a great chance for him. If you could also gain promotion so we can have away days in Kirkcaldy again that would be good too. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Would be happy for him to get the full season at Raith, I think the six month deal is just in case we get a lot of injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be fighting for mid table again as our team is very young. So we have to gell quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistle Blower Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 We have had great starts the last 2 years and then been outsmarted, when we faced teams the 2nd and 3rd time. Hopefully McKinnon has a plan B, C and D. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruyffTurnFerry Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm really happy with the signings McKinnon has made so far but would really like a couple experienced players added to squad to help the young players along throughout the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Business has been brisk alright. I think we will sign more but I think the boss needs to see what he's got and how they are gelling. As this will have an effect on who or what type of player he gets in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 In terms of experience, McGurn (and also Cuthbert), Thompson, Barr, Anderson, McCord, and Stewart are all pretty experienced players at this level. I'm not sure what other experience we need throughout the team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Lets be honest, we've had plenty of players with experience who have come to us from other clubs. Both Fox and Scott are two of our most recent examples of players coming to us who've been deemed experience and offered little. You could look further back and add others like Kevin McBride and Thierry Gatheussi during McGlynn's time. Time will tell if we'll be successful, but experience isn't always everything. I'd far rather have a rough diamond like Ross Callachan than a more experienced player like Martin Scott or Liam Fox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Is Paul Watson any good? As long as he's not along side Ross Perry he's brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Is Paul Watson any good? He is a good defender at this level. Would be surprised if he signed for Hibs, right enough, but you would get a good centre half who wouldn't cost you too much in wages. That presumes you guys are in for him, of course. We offered him a deal, but he was stalling over it and McKinnon got fed up and signed someone else. I'd have liked to see him stay, but the situation was handled correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Watson is still relatively young and would probably benefit from playing next to an experienced defender. He has the occasional moment of madness, but by and large is a good defender for this level. He won't cost much too as mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
