Wighton: We weren’t at it and need to be better

The defeat echoed the finale to the last campaign – a 4-0 thumping at the hands of 11th-placed Hamilton.

That stung for Wighton and he’s hoping this year’s failure to perform on the last day can niggle away at the squad over the summer break enough to spark better next time out.

“Obviously, we did our business early in the split but it doesn’t mean that’s it – we wanted to win every game and four out of five would have been a good return so we are disappointed.

“Last year it didn’t affect us but when you come back it’s still on your mind a wee bit, it still annoys you.

“I think everyone will go away and have a good summer and next season we know we have to be a lot better.”

One thing he personally is looking to add is goals – something the team as a whole has lacked in the past year.

“Not taking our chances this season has really cost us. We haven’t been clinical enough in front of goal and that’s the difference,” he added.

“You look at Kilmarnock – Boyd scoring goals for them – but we feel we’re a better side than Kilmarnock. We are but we just haven’t had that cutting edge in the final third.

“Obviously, I never got a goal this term which is frustrating but I think the main thing for me was I didn’t think I would play this season.

“Just playing is a big thing for me but next season I do need to start adding goals to my game. It doesn’t matter where I play, goals and assists are where I’ll get judged on at the end of the day.”
