Big miss as he gives us width and gets the ball in the box

He comes on for Everton and then suddenly they're all over the place. Balls being pinged in from both sides. Kamara may have whipped the crowd up but the key change was Pilkington. Without him, we have nothing on the left side. With him, Garrido goes forward, without nada

Still no Pilkington for Saturday (NCFC) - Duck, Apr 4, 14:01:14
- Kamara on left, Becchio up front, Snoddy on right maybe (or not) (n/m) (NCFC) - trustsec, Apr 4, 14:28:08
  - ^^^this (NCFC) - Duck, Apr 4, 14:31:37
- Not a big miss imo - very slow and inconsistent (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 4, 14:02:43
  - massive miss, one of our best attacking players, scores goals (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 4, 15:14:45
    - 4 in 28 this season - not a great return (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 4, 16:03:12
      - no worse than anyone else's (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 4, 16:10:51
  - Big miss as he gives us width and gets the ball in the box (NCFC) - Mr Crowley, Apr 4, 14:46:48
  - but he's the attacking midfielder we have that's most likely to 'make something happen' (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 4, 14:24:01
    - With Pilkington you have to suffer a lot of dross for the occasional gem. I think Tettey (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 4, 14:47:07
      - Tettey? The defensive midfielder who rarely crosses the halfway line? (n/m) (NCFC) - Duck, Apr 4, 14:57:52
      - Really? Tettey's head seems to go whenever he gets in the final third (NCFC) - Huge Small, Apr 4, 14:54:39
        
        which isn't often anyway (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 4, 14:56:21
      - Doesn't get forward enough and doesn't look like getting in the box late (NCFC) - Mr Crowley, Apr 4, 14:49:52
  - Quicker and more effective than Bennett (n/m) (NCFC) - Duck, Apr 4, 14:13:18
    - You obviously haven't seen much of Pilks - I've never sen a slower winger* (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 4, 14:22:24
      - What? (NCFC) - Duck, Apr 4, 14:23:06
        
        Surman yes, but wouldn't call him a 'winger' in the truest sense (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Apr 4, 14:23:59
        
        Yep, Surman's not a winger. We don't have an effective winger, other than Holt. (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 4, 14:51:29
        
        what's going on? (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 4, 14:57:53
        
        nor is Snoddy really (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 4, 14:24:53
    - No way quicker (n/m) (NCFC) - RootunTootunHootun, Apr 4, 14:21:34
    - There is no way that Pilks is quicker than Bennett... (NCFC) - Brom, Apr 4, 14:18:09
  - Except we've not won without him all season* (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 4, 14:09:20
    - I'd put that down to a small sample size :-) (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 4, 14:52:28
    - did he play against Everton? (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Apr 4, 14:12:16
      - came on after 73 minutes (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Apr 4, 14:22:14
