Stu Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 It could be worse....you could sit behind him in the East Stand. Thankfully, for Higdonkey this season the Hump has received the worst from Disco Stu this season. Just to be clear, that's not me being referred to... This thread is utterly ridiculous. Whenever Higdon has a bad game (let's not pretend that he doesn't have bad games) people like Steelboy will bump it to validate their disapproval of him. Whenever Higdon has a good game (or a GREAT game, like today) people will bump it to try and prove the likes of Steelboy wrong. Neither side is going to concede anything. For what it's worth, I can't even begin to fathom the scale of the criticism that Higdon receives. Does he have his faults? Clearly so. Is he better than Porter or Jutkiewicz? Probably not. However, he's a consistent goalscorer who never hides and few defenders will enjoy playing against him. The desire to say "I told you so" is pathetic - particularly when it coincides with a Motherwell defeat or poor team performance. He's one of our players. By all means, comment on a poor performance but, FFS, can we not just get behind him?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstone Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 did everyone not get excited about a few goals against ict and dundee previously before things went pear shaped? one of the boys at the back for ict today was a career non league player until the summer. wait and see if he manages any improvement on his recent showings against webster & zaliukas and gunning & dillon before getting too carried away. And in one post you have summed up why we have Higdon. If he scored with ease against every club in the spl then he wouldn't be playing for us. Also yer Higdon bashing has now become a fishing trip.

Also yer Higdon bashing has now become a fishing trip. how's it a fishing trip when people are asking me for my opinion? i'm not talking about scoring against every club i'm talking about contributing. he disappeared for half a dozen games after his last scoring run.

It is you began this daft Higdon criticism and now you revel in it. Higdon has been excellent for us and is on track for another season with us in double figures. That's all I ask from a Motherwell striker. You comment about disappearing in games is shite. He is a lone striker, when we are not playing well he is isolated, but he must remain up front - or we won't score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_tony Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Can't jump eh? 9 goals in 14 SPL games. Lethal. I'm sure it's just an optical illusion caused by the sun sitting low in the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Some of our supporters will finally grow to appreciate Higdon next season when he leaves and is replaced with a player of significantly reduced quality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I think the majority of our fans appreciate him now. This thread has rumbled on, but it seems like it's one or two eejits talking shite and a plethora of folk replying to tell them they're talking shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 20th goal of the Season for the big lad today and another very good performance. 25 goals is a very reachable target. Keep them coming Higgy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 20 goals is incredible for a team like Motherwell, i certainly can't mind the last time it happened, anyone know? You would need to go back to the days of Pettigrew to find a striker who could guarantee you that goals ratio. I have heard rumours that Sevco are set to offer him a deal, however this might well be pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEWELL Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Have to say his goal scoring has been tremendous this season and with the ammo coming from Faddy,Ojamma and Humphrey i think he'll easily top 25 goals this season which will make him a LEGEND! . By the way it was i who started this thread but that was in a previous life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Imagine how many he'd score if he was any use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Pettigrew scored around 21 goals in the mid 70s. Higdon will easily beat that total, and in doing so he will go down as one of our all time greatest strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roly Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Probably 1932 He's got a bit to go to beat MacFadyens 45 in 1932-33 yet. Joking aside this guy should no longer have any doubters within our support. I'm in my thirties and hes the most prolific striker we've had in my lifetime without question. He also looks likely to eclipse Wullie Ps record. IMO he also offers us sooooooo much more than just his goalscoring prowess. This guy is a future legend. Anyone who still thinks he's a big donkey who can't run or jump.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderpig Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I make that 33 SPL Motherwell goals for Higdon now, only 10 to go to beat skippys record..add in his 3 hat tricks and he is officially a legend..respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roly Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Scott Macdonald - 42 in 108 = 0.39 goals per game Tommy Coyne - 59 in 132 = 0.45 goals per game Higgy - 33 in 63 = 0.52 goals per game He's less likely to create a chance for himself than the other two... But boy can he put them away. He's the best penalty box striker I've seen in a 'Well shirt. Not only that, but with his back to goal linking up play I can't remember better.

I was in my teens when TC was at fir park. As I said back to goal linking the game, target man and in the penalty box... Higdon is better. Coyne had a few things Higdon lacks... A spark. To create a chance from nothing and beating players with a flash of genius. Coyne was a much more exciting player to watch. Which is probably why he's (rightly) so fondly remembered. Higdons record stands for itself though. I'd say Davie Cooper was the best all round player I've seen in a 'Well shirt though. ETA...
