Chubbychops Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Stick Wighton through the middle with Toddy and see how it goes. If the games are still bypassing him then I will agree with the discontent about his efforts. Until then I will not completely write him off. What pisses me off more than anything is McPake playing centre forwards wide. He now has two natural wide players, so no excuses for it anymore.

Stellaboz Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 People have short memories. He barely got a game under Grant, Hughes couldn't identify a footballer if he was given the France 98 team yearbook and he's now been shoved out wide. He showed he's a goal scorer under Craw. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He barely got a game under Grant, Hughes couldn't identify a footballer if he was given the France 98 team yearbook and he's now been shoved out wide. He showed he's a goal scorer under Craw. Spot on. Hardly kicked a ball for us, certainly not as a striker since his first half season when he joined. Can't judge him on that but effort is something he can still put in. Saying that, given what I've just said I can understand him being a bit low in confidence, flat and off the pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I want him to be good but I don't see it happening. Would love to be proved wrong. The 4-3 win against Arbroath that clinched play offs in 20-21 he was unplayable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what relevance six goals scored in empty stadiums over 18 months ago have when discussing Wighton's form right now? He came from Hearts so there's no chance his wages came cheap and he's been a complete waste of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 The wighton we had last season was an absolute shadow of the one we had pre-covid. I'd read an article with him either when he was still at Hearts, or just signed for Dunfermline, where he spoke about trying to become a real number 9. Definitely noticed that he had bulked up hugely when he came back, but he's still not very good at holding the ball up and it seems to have made him worse at the things he was good at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diddy Cup can get to There's 4 under 18 games and a reserve cup game in November as well as the Challenge Cup game, so would imagine it would be a mix but more leaning towards the younger players. Hope absolutely nobody attends. The B teams can get fucked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Fucking hate seeing our club lose out but a boycott of the game is a must. Hopefully we utterly pump them as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I'll not actively boycott and will go if I've got heehaw on that night but have zero problem with anybody who does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I feel that if the 'B' team crowds in LL/Challenge Cup had been bigger then greed would have convinced many sides in L1/L2 that it would be worth it for them. They will keep pushing this and already have the authorities and media on board. The only action supporters can take is urging their own clubs to oppose it and refuse to recognise fixtures vs 'B' teams by attending them.
