The only excuse I'd say for Kingsley was he'd played the full 120 minutes. Either way massively disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasquale for King Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 If he keeps this up he might well get another contract, which is a huge turnaround.

Longbaws Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) I think missing a pen in a final is as bad as it gets for a player, although getting pumped 5-1 in a final may be worse. Kinda like getting rejected off a lassie when your young, it's shite at the time but you discover the world doesn't end and you ask another one out Hopefully he plays with no fear now that that's happened to him and we will see the best of him, seeing him succeed at Hearts would make me ecstatic Go on yourself Craig!!!

Thomson1874 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Another great performance from him today. We looked much more dangerous with him on the park. It's strange as I probably wouldn't want to start him up top on his own as it works well with Boyce partnering him up front. I would start them both on Tuesday and hopefully they can keep up the partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StirlingJambo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 To much people have written him of from performances under Levein, where he never started and was played out of position when subbed on to hoofball tactics. Wighton has scored some good goals so far. The two tonight were composed as was the lobbed winner against Arbroath. Both contributions giving us maximum points. I’d play him up top with Boyce from now on as it’s harder for teams to defend when they’re just sitting in all game. If he keeps scoring and turning in good performances give him an extension year and see if he can continue form into the top league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David McCaig Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Craig Wighton is definitely worth a new contract and is improving all the time. I was also surprised to read that Wighton is actually several months younger than Kevin Nisbet of Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Incredible turnaround full credit to firstly the player himself but secondly to the manager and coaching staff who have helped to sharpen his cutting edge. It looks like his loan to Arbroath was the wake up call, he went there and knocked in a couple, now he’s found himself playing in the same division with a much bigger club. This is his opportunity and he is taking it. Throughout the tribulations, some of us always said that Wighton was still young. Even now he’s only 23, seen plenty of players start their rise at that sort of age. Can take time for a young player to up his game to be consistent at senior level. He has 35 caps at various age group levels from U15 to U21 which Hearts fans are totally unaware of because it was before his time with us, but it tells you there has to be ability there. And the reports were always there about how good he was in training. He has IMO already done enough to warrant a contract extension. And also despite his penalty miss, the fans are now supporting him because we see the effort, fight and desire he is showing. Not to mention some very good technical goals which, if he can do that in the premiership in a Hearts shirt, with the crowds back in the grounds, he can put himself right up there in the queue to start thinking about senior caps which is a mind blowing thought. But the lad is at an age where he can still rise and achieve anything. And also he is a lesson for fans about patience with a young 21 or 22 year old footballer who’s stepped in to a jersey that was too big for him. Give him time to grow into it.
