Rovers1992/1993 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 On STV news that Wighton will be signing, great for both clubs. IMO. What's he like Biggie?I genuinely thought he would have got his move down south this summer, after the interest shown in him in January.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) What's he like Biggie? I genuinely thought he would have got his move down south this summer, after the interest shown in him in January.. He's not a big massive guy, but technically he's very good, and will hit the back of the net, easy. Scored for us in the top league when he was only sixteen I think, he's only seventeen now, play him just off a big centre forward and he'll bang in the goals in that division no fucking problem. He's desperate for games, was basically just making subbie appearances here. Edited June 9, 2015 by Bigmouth Strikes Again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably bring in one more striker, possibly 2 so hopefully one of them is a big centre forward to get the beast out of Wighton then.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Doesn't need to be partnered with a big striker, just someone with experience to lay off the chances for him, was on loan at Brechin as well, but only for a few games, scored and set up a few when he was there, they wanted to keep him but Hartley recalled him as we had a few injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistle Blower Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 The 78-84 Bukta strip was my first Rovers strip, just a tad heavier than today's tops and not nipple friendly... Mine too, the days of Dan Urquhart, To Houston & Elvis, queues down Pratt street to get in ???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Steve Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Wighton would be a great signing for Raith. He played a handful of games last season for Brechin and showed real quality before unfortunately being recalled by Dundee. He is very slight but makes up for it with good technical ability. - skip to 5:10 to see some class from Wighton (no 10) to set up our second goal against Forfar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I don't like his haircut He's from Dundee not Fife m8, therefore he doesn't cut his own hair with a bread knife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojito Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Absolutely delighted with Wighton. Remember his first appearance at Starks and was very impressed by him. Played with a directness and confidence way beyond his age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Pretty sure he scored against us in the defeat to Dundee at Dens two seasons ago, which ended our unbeaten run and set us on the dismal three wins in twenty form period. I remember being pretty surprised that he was only 16 - had a fantastic game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Could be wrong but I thought the game he scored against us at Dens was his debut. Seem to recall John Brown not being able to play him in the SPL (as it was) because he was 15 too. Would be very pleased with him signing, albeit I'm not sure what it means for Lewis Vaughan's chances of starting. Could do with a Nade replacement now and we're all set up front. Young squad by the look of it too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry boy Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Wighton is a class act, really a lovely footballer. He isn't strong or good in the air, he is fairly quick, great touch and vision bit is link up play and intelligence is brilliant. Scored on his debut for us at 16 and also in the premier last season against thistle when he actually ripped them too bits in the 2nd half. But yeah, this is probably his last ever loan move as Southampton are very keen on him and so are a few prem teams, was actually linked with man u as they had a scour up last year. Talented player with a bog future if he gets game time. Hopefully he plays against us in the friendly, be good to see him against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I'm all for a younger squad bit it would be beneficial, I think, to have one or two seasoned pros who have perhaps played at a much higher level that ourselves, had good careers and can lead and inspire the younger squad members. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whistle Blower Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Is the centre half Benedictus from Alloa ? Fits the current signing policy as he has a connection with the city of Dundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Kyle Benedictus should be a good signing for you. Championship is definitely his level, but he is strong in the air and loves a tackle. Can be caught out a bit positionally at times and isn't the fastest but solid if unspectacular signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
