I like Pilkington. He’ll be an asset wherever he goes.
Will never forget that goal against Sheff Utd last season and the winner against Bristol City the season before.
Good luck to him - he did a good job for us over four and a half years and always seemed to have the right attitude (apart from maybe not moving on to play in the summer).
What Paterson is doing for Warnock, Pilks did for Slade.
I remember a few interviews where his team mates described him as the most technically gifted player (and two footed) in the club.
Baffled by him being left in the cold personally.
Thought he would be a match day squad regular
The only reason I can think of as to why Neil Warnock didn't seem to rate him was that he thought he lacked pace for the position he played in.Quote:

His top 5 goals, the two at the end are great strikes with either foot.Quote:

Certainly, he was a good player. As TOBW said, Warnock said he wasn't quick enough to play wide for him, or physical enough to play up front. He saved our bacon that Slade season, chipped in with a lot of goals and took on a lot of responsibility.
Shame he's gone but as they say "if your face don't fit..."
Great attitude since Warnock joined though and was fit and ready when called upon last season.
Best of luck Pilks :thumbup:
Agree with that - he scored a couple of bangers for us, always gave it everything, and was seemingly ready for anything (when he wasn't injured of course)Quote:

Still, good luck to him.
I just watched the first two goals - I had completely forgotten about Tony Watt :shrug:Quote:

Been good for us. All my very warmest wishes.Quote:

Our move fell through when he failed a medical. He recently called Slade the best manager he's worked under for dealing with his personal problems.Quote:

Not the best manager but a decent bloke by all accounts.
good luck to him, always gave his all
Pilks credited with assist for the first goal against villa
