upgotheheads Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It's not looking great for him now with the arrival of Armand, and Henderson being ahead of him by the look of it. Pity, he made a good start to the season and was beginning to look the real deal at last, I hope it works out for him either at Hearts or elsewhere.

third lanark Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Please send him to Firhill, especially since both clubs are so close 😉He has scored many against us and would be more than capable of getting goals in league one, plus we only have 2 strikers who are both injured and need as many attackers as possible thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcjambo Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Henderson replaced a winger last night so I am not sure if that affects the pecking order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, but Henderson is like Wighton in that he has played through the middle and wide, though usually from the left side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It's strange. I don't really rate Wighton, never have and would've been okay about him leaving the club at the start of the season but, considering he's scored some goals in the earlier part of the season i am surprised that Neilson has lowered him down the pecking order so quickly. Wighton was never going to be here long-term in fairness but he must be a bit miffed he's found himself out of the manager's plans after a reasonably decent start.

Dusty Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I'd have Wighton in the squad ahead of Frear and Roberts. I like Naismith but Wighton has done at least as well as him this season so I'd like to see him on the bench. Sounds like he's going to get loaned out though. Good to see Henderson take his chance last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Henderson take his chance last night. Yup, he has missed a few but he's still our second top scorer I think. I thought his improvement this season might have been a turning point for him and I think some other team will gladly take him. I hope he gets to stay with us to finish this season, or it could come back to haunt us . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcupples Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Surely Craig Wighton is a better player than Henderson. In watching Henderson last 2 or 3 games he is like a schoolboy playing with men does not contribute much other than getting rid of the ball far too quick. I would keep Wighton but play him in his natural position as he does get involved in games more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hard lines for him but nowhere near the standard we need. He has had plenty chances and never took them. Can't say I'll be too fussed when he leaves. There is still a lot of dead wood in the squad that needs cleared out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Unfortunately not good for us at the current time. He has improved and has good technical ability, seems a bit timid tho- not a good trait. He'll probably sign for a championship team and in about 4/5 years hit the top flight again with the likes of Livi, Hamilton or Motherwell and folk on JKB will be saying we shouldn't have let him go. That will be after he knocks us out the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilnunb Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Being serious, I'm not a fan but he has certainly been better this season. It's a bit like Olly Lee though, end of contract coming up and if he isn't getting renewed then it is best for all parties that he moves on. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 He has done himself a lot of favours this season and has shown he can forage a career for himself at a decent level.

been here before Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Likely to be moved on, another 'project' that didnt work out. Seems a decent enough laddie, obviously spent some time working hard in his fitness and game and will score goals for someone at Championship level but we need to be looking for someone better.

ri Alban Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The musings of the coach potato who has achieved nothing. Must be shite having no ability, no other half while sitting telling folk how shite a profession footballer is. I'd have done anything to play for Hearts for 1 second, let alone score a few goals. Anyway, if he goes, good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Not saying he's good enough for a regular starting place but his goals against Hibs, Raith and Arbroath would suggest he's clearly not utter dugshite.

copa-mundial Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think the question that should be asked is. Are Hearts going to improve with him? I've no ill against the kid. He came with a big price tag. Sadly hasn't lived up to it. We all wish he had hit the ball rolling, but it never happened. Good luck to him if he does move on this window.

The Gorgie Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Been a decent player this season and strange he's been completely dropped, but reality is he isn't good enough for us if we want to challenge for European football in the future.

OTT Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Wightons a gamble I'm glad we took. Its obviously not worked, but we should be looking closer at young Scottish players we can get. Wighton didn't work out, but Souttar by and large has. If we look back to our better players over the years, its almost never been punts on foreign players. Stevenson, Webster, Kyle, Black, Pressley, Hartley, McCann, Cameron have been among our better players over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
