He should have been ready to go on at any point, especially with our injury record. If it had been Vanecek, brought in from the cold, then maybe that argument would hold up. Wighton is simply pish. The Vanecek situation is a complete joke! To be left in a situation that Wighton is the only option is tragic!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasavallan Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Nothing against the lad, he is what he is. The question for me is is Levein selecting the team on his own judgment or is he listening to his wormtongues. Signings work or they don't, Levein's scouting team are poor. There are good players out there but Hearts cannot find them. Wighton should have been nowhere near the first team, Vanecek on the other hand...

1953 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Wighton had a good header that I thought was in but the keeper saved it. That is the only positive thing I can think of to say about the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozanic has looked ok, a squad player maybe more but he too had a shocker yesterday & cost us an identical goal. he deserves pelters.

Both mistakes cost a goal and while Bozanic has had a fair amount of game time, Wighton has not. Bozanic was selected originally and presumably knew what his role and responsibilities were.

buzzbomb Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I agree wighton has been poor, but to be fair to him, the way we are playing doesn’t really suit or help him. And you could apply that to a few players. The current style doesn’t really suit many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocobeab Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I felt sorry for him yesterday, didn’t look like he knew where he was meant to be. Frequently glancing toward the bench and a good few times in conversation during breaks in play. I know boys will say a professional shouldn’t need any of that, nor be deserving of sympathy but as I say I felt for the lad. Clearly nervous, probably playing beyond his level and didn’t seem to have been well prepared or coached prior to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is why Cochrane wasn't on from the start. Quoting my own post so I apologise. I feel for the guy, It's difficult to know what his brief was, midfield or striker? I've actually been encouraged by one or two of his recent performances and I think there's a player in there, but he needs to realise that the game won't come to him and standing off players won't cut it at this level. Harry Cochrane put more effort into the short time he was on the field than Wighton did for all the time he was on. It's amazing what a couple of pints will do for your conscience. ?

way out west jambo Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Craig Wighton doesn’t look like he’s played football before. He’s complete mince. He can’t run, pass, tackle or shoot. He needs to be emptied at the earliest opportunity, this should be a priority in the summer transfer window, he can’t stay here for another season he’s nowhere near good enough to play professional football. ?

Indeed, and the coaches who are supposed to improve him. He was spoken to twice by AM&CL in the first ten minutes, then moved up front out the way. It was said he was physically strong but he lets CHs dominate him. We spent money on this guy instead of recruiting a forward who could’ve contributed when injuries kicked in. There wasn’t a queue trying to sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
