Jamboscanbevicius Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Looks another logical signing 👏 good age, experience of our league, and a known quantity. Welcome! After being stung with guys like Whelan, I am actually happier with this than the likes of Tommy Smith. He’s still at an age where he has something to prove and could get an even bigger move if he excels!

To be honest from the clips of training and the 11v11 game Wighton has looked very sharp. But then translating training pitch and reserve form to first team has been his problem since joining us. Maybe a different coaching team will help him make the transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got his wee spell at Arbroath in his plus column as well. He's also going to be up against some pretty poor defenders compared to last season. I'm cautiously optimistic.

I’ve known a lot of players who are good in training/5 asides etc but when it comes to match day don’t perform. Could be a number of reasons but I think the main one is mentality and the ability to handle pressure. It’s easy in a training game to try a harder pass, try beat a man etc but in front of 18,000 fans who will be on your back as soon as you give the ball away or make a little mistake is totally different. I’m not saying the fans were not justified in their grilling of him but playing in front of no fans could well work in his favour. He must certainly have a bit of confidence in him now with what Robbie has said in the press and also with his goals. Let’s hope so, must be a player there somewhere!

HMFC01 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 He's played left back once, from his stats. Might have played more than once, some games are missing, like the recent season with bucuresti. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mihai-popescu/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/361537 Scroll down to see the left back stat.

Debut 4 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Normally cautious with most signings tbh, but feel quite content with this one for some reason? Seeing glimpses of the guy from a couple years back portrayed him as a pretty decent find. Looks like he loved playing in our style of game and took to it quickly. Always a sign of a strong mentality, “not giving a f***”, fearless nature. Hope in time it shows that in a maroon jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Black Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 One more signing will do me. An Andy Halliday type would be perfect, then move some more out . What we have signed so far looks excellent but we need to see how the youngsters shape up this year. For to long their progress has been blocked with an oversized squad.
