He has done little to justify that early hype though. 10 goals in over 110 senior appearances. ? We'd have been better giving Zanatta, Moore, Henderson etc a run than wasting money on this donkey. I’m no arguing the fact that he has been really poor for us - not at all. Just the reasons why - right now, I wouldn’t be half surprised if we punted him out to some other team he would start scoring goals or playing better - says it all really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderstruck Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 It was a costly mistake but he was far from the only player making errors today. The whole team look like it was in “Friendly” mode and we were 2-0 before they woke up. On the plus side, he did carve out a couple of good chances and was denied a goal by a fine save.

Herein lies the problem. Time and time again CL signs players based on Christ knows what. You can image some silver tonged agent telling him what a great player he has on his books and CL sitting there with him mouth wide open and swallowing all the sales crap. Wighton is just another in a long line really poor signing. We have spunked some amount of cash of utter tripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost in space Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Good save from his header + should have done better with shot in first half.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I don't like criticising players unduly but Wighton is not Hearts standard.

gashauskis9 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 18 hours ago, Hearts1975 said: He was very highly rated by Dundee and is well thought of within the coaching fraternity - don’t think this is all down to him being shite and not having ability I would put it more down to a complete and utter lack of confidence and not getting a run of games - best we get him out on loan Asap so he can figure out how to play again and more importantly hit the net - he has to toughen up mentally if he wants to stay at the club and get stuck in rather than letting the game pass him by - he has a lot to prove considering we spent good money for him This. I’m trying to be patient as I’ve seen odd glimpses of good play and skill. Fact of the matter is he shouldn’t have been Clare’s replacement yesterday. Levein had to talk him through the entire first half, he looked lost, didn’t know where he was supposed to be playing. Have we seriously got to a stage where professional footballers need this much coaching during a game? You’re an attacking player, chase the ball and when you get it take players on, find a pass or shoot. FFS what else is there to say??? MacLean or Cochrane should have started, based on the options we had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrahim Tall Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) To be honest I still don’t understand how we managed to end up paying a (large)fee for a player that couldn’t get in a shit Dundee team. Spectacularly bad deal. I don’t even blame Wighton, he should never have been signed in the first place.

TurboT Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 When I saw he was in the team, my heart sank. I’ve not seen anything from him to suggest he’s good enough for hearts. Plus, he doesn’t put a shift in and pulls out of tackles which leaves us effectively a man down. Gavin Reilly was a player who I didn’t think was good enough for Hearts but I always felt he gave 100% every game and that’s all I can ask for. I can’t say the same for Wigton.

RussAsia Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 He was poor today.. His contribution was losing the ball for the goal then missing our best chance in the first half which a semi accomplished professional player would have scored or at least tested the keeper. Instead he trundled one past the far post. He's young but I don't see that he has much. get him out on loan and see if he can make the step up eventually. I don't hold out much hope though.
