Raith Against The Machine Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Thoroughly unlikeable footballer, so needless to say I hope he fails miserably. In terms of playing style, though, he's a departure from the likes of Declan McManus and Kevin O'Hara and could quite easily give you that bit of variety in attack that you've needed when McManus is off the boil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Not that surprised. Was bound to happen some point this month. Arbroath defeat probably assured Neilson we weren’t a threat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEETHING Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Wighton has found his level; years of Chumpionship "football" ahead of him with the Pars, so good luck to him imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was definitely the victim of hype when he came to the Rovers, he was built up as the next big thing by Dundee, and their support seemed certain it was only a matter of time before he went down south for a fortune, and that he'd play for Scotland. Instead, he was garbage. If he hadn't scored the goal that relegated United, I don't think the Dundee fans would think particularly highly of him now either. That Hearts can't find a place for him in the Championship speaks volumes, too. As I say, though, maybe things will finally click for him. One of the biggest issues he had at Stark's was his complete lack of physicality, and he's clearly worked on that and bulked out since. He's just got an air about him though, of someone who always looks like he's got it, but never actually does. If I'm looking at the right stats, he's never scored more than three league goals in a season. He's 23. In terms of actual likeability, I'm not sure. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, I haven't seen too much of him recently, but he's just a bit "nothing". He's like the anti-Declan McManus in that sense. McManus, even when he's not scoring, is constantly being a wee dick and getting involved and kicking folk and causing grief. Wighton is just a bit *shrug*. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Regarding Wighton, I think it's a rare Crawford misfire of a signing. I don't rate him and don't see him doing much for us. Obviously will give him a chance mind, and hope I'm wrong and he's great and smashes loads of goals in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our strikers have really struggled for goals this season (other than penalties). Wighton’s also a bit more of a physical presence than what we’ve got, so it looks like a good signing for me. Fairly low risk as well, with it being a free transfer, he’s fairly young and keen to prove himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
