The Voice Of Reason 0 Posted April 12, 2012 As it says, it''s what Pilks has said in his interview on this site today.Hadn''t trained for two weeks, why was he playing? Strange to pick him if it is true.Love him to bits mindya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 0 Posted April 12, 2012 Why was he playing? Because he is class basically. So it is worth the punt. And Wes looked dead on his feet after the Everton game where he covered every blade of grass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"""""""""Ben """"""""""" 0 Posted April 12, 2012 He had a quality game, scored a good goal was denied by a very good save from Friedel. Also put tons of quality crosses into the box. That''s why he was playing ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted April 12, 2012 Had we not played just 48 hours earlier, I doubt he would have started but given the need for changes following Everton & the system employed at Spurs he was chucked in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beauseant 0 Posted April 12, 2012 Lambert said in his Friday press conference that Pilks had returned to full training the day before, so it was obviously a calculated risk, but one which paid off gloriously! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
William Darby 0 Posted April 12, 2012 If Pilks is blessed with being naturally quite fit, two weeks break at the tail end of a season is not a big deal imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spencer 1970 214 Posted April 12, 2012 thats beauty of our team...any player that comes in will not weaken the team...they are all different individually but the "one" stays strong.Conspencious 591 BC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VegasCanary 0 Posted April 13, 2012 Probably because he''s a professional athlete, and y''know, they tend to be quite fit even with a little break from training. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
star_manic 0 Posted April 13, 2012 england should call him up before ireland get him. he makes dowling look very third rate, just cannot see what various managers see in dowling. no fans of any club, especially liverpool, rate him at all. pilks is different class to him.
