Yes he did, saved Lumsden that night, worst thing was, think Campbell was available at the time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 How did Wighton get on with you last season? He was great for us the second half of 21/22 then a combination of fitness problems and awful management meant he never really got a fair crack of the whip last season. From the outside he seemed to be overshadowed by Hamilton with you? He's returned to us but wouldn't be surprised to heading back to Gayfield if a deal can be done and you want him.Showed glimpses, but looked an absolute shadow of the player we had before. He’d definitely bulked up in the time away from Gayfield and I think that’s worked against him hugely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showed glimses of quality but just doesnt score enough goals. I am not sure we would take him back in all honesty. He may do ok in League 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THere was even a montrose fan saying he was delighted that Campbell never came to them and was practically laughing at us. Amazing the turnaround in Goldy, seemed that nobody rated him at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never wanted Campbell to be our manager, but at that time, he was exactly what was required, I knew that, but never in a million years, did I think we would do what we have done and be where we are, heady times indeed, as for Goldy he was never getting a new contract after that first season, but Dick seen something and I for one is glad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellichtie Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I always think Goldy struggles not having a fair run in the team or really having a set position (has played full-back, centre mid, out wide etc.) then when he gets a game he plays out his skin and proves me wrong. Definitely one of our most underrated players, in the same bracket as Bobby Linn, Ricky Little, Colin Hamilton for me, has stuck with us for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shading shows club averages, which help explain Pybus looking so good on the ball? Hes not that great at it, its just Dunfermline played lots of passes in midfield. His strengths lie entirely in pressing/winning the ball back, aside from that hes ~average. Unfair to fully judge folk on these alone, and I've not watched Hamilton, but it looks like you'll be exchanging a CM willing to take the ball and try to keep it for a more direct/physical player. Daresay it'll depend on who you play him beside with how it'll work out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a piss take, Dan Pybus was OK for us last year and was our presser/ball winner which is what Hamilton will be doing next year, just wondering how the stats lined up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan3600 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 He’s obviously trouble. I doubt he’s good enough for the Championship and we already have two strikers like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
