Well I didn't rate him that highly when we had him on loan, a couple of good free kick goals apart, so you're all right. I like Wighton and think he's one of our better players but he's having a bit of a tough time at the moment and today wasn't one of his better games. Don't think Thomas was too good today either mind you although he got better as the game went on and the goal helped his confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still our best forward but he’s had much better games for us, especially last season. I was getting quite frustrated at him not being able to hold up the ball in the first half. Unsurprisingly, Grant was waxing lyrical about his love child Pybus while also having a bizarre criticism about us not taking throw-ins quickly enough. Make no mistake, he still needs emptied asap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Wighton should have had a good assist today if kennady had taken his simple finish that was well set up. He looks to be a bit lacking in confidence but that will be easily solved with a run of games and a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I thought Wighton had good game today. Put in a great amount of work and his touch and link up play was good. A far better option than Todorov leading the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like he played poorly I just thought he usually looks more dangerous. He’s clearly a better option up top than anything else we have at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Wighton, once again, had almost zero service. He's not going to do much if he isn't given chances. 'Hold up play' isn't one of his strengths; he's all about getting on the end of crosses/passes and getting to run at defences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be shite to watch, might not be as dominant as we should be with our budget, but the league is a marathon not a sprint and I am still very confident we'll come out on top at the end of it. Anyone expecting us to come down and smash teams every week is overestimating the difference between the leagues. I’d be confident saying we’ll make the top 4 at the very worst but I certainly wouldn’t have the balls to say we’ll win this division. Hope you are right though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outwith when Clarke was skelping Rangers about every second week did you have a great record against the top sides? Is that the Kilmarnock way? I presume Gretna absolutely pumped you but you put double digits past the old firm that season? Load of absolutely nonsense. You know who the bottom four sides in this division are currently? Ayr, Morton, Hamilton and us, how'd you do against the other three? Ah right, they make up 3 of your 5 wins. The "Kilmarnock way" I’m sure that after today’s cluster feck you can bow accept that we are indeed the team anyone wants to play when times are tough . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't beat you tho. The team I most want to play is morton, as they are the next worst side in the division and the only team we have been ahead against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I'm assuming that our goal that was ruled out was for climbing, the camera angle makes it hard to see so I think it's a but unlucky. Killies first looked in line from the angle but again it's not the best view to try and figure it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the money that Hearts, County and Dundee Utd must have spent to go up you’d think they’d have been able to do it in style. They all won it fairly comfortably but none of them ever looked that good. On saying that we have played we for about 60 minutes this season and are 5 points clear, so long may scrapping your way to the title continue. Hibs won it with 71 points (1.97 PPG), failing to win 47% of their games. No-one has won it with a lower points per game since. Hearts and Dundee United got 2.11, St Mirren 2.06 and Ross County also 1.97. Hearts last season scored 4 more goals than Hibs 16/17 despite playing 9 fewer games. Stylish.

That was what I thought watching it live but the referee doesn't blow until the keeper is on his own and flapping. But flap at the ball and end up on your arse and 9/10 times the ref will take pity and give a foul, players should know that and go nowhere near him certainly not put your hands on him like you would a defender/ attacker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something the more pragmatic sides didn't do as much. Forgot about that st mirren side, they were also pretty good tbf. 4 hours ago, 101 said: I'm assuming that our goal that was ruled out was for climbing, the camera angle makes it hard to see so I think it's a but unlucky. Killies first looked in line from the angle but again it's not the best view to try and figure it out. At the time It looked quite clear the ref had seen Connolly climbing, from the main stand you could see he had both arms on top of the markers shoulders and the timing of the whistle was right as he went for the header. You get away with it sometimes, but it didn't seem that controversial to disallow it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something the more pragmatic sides didn't do as much. At the halfway point they were 2 points behind in 2nd place, having dropped points in 8 of their first 18 games. Their PPG only dropped slightly from 2.0 to 1.94 in the second half of the season but Dundee United had completely fallen away. They only ended up with 1 more point than they got in 14/15 when they finished 21 points off the pace. If anything your description applies more to Hearts last season, who were 12 points ahead at the halfway point, averaging 3 goals a game and having won 11 out of 14. They then looked like they couldn't be arsed anymore in February and March. We didn't win it in style, it was largely eye-bleeding shite, but Hibs most certainly didn't either. They scored less often and won less often. I'm sure even Hibs fans would agree. The point about it being a division teams rarely win in style is a fair one, though. Hardly anyone gets over 80 points and a steady 2 points per game average usually does it comfortably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Looked like Connolly was climbing, correct decision by the ref going of those highlights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
