Pilkington was used as a centre-forward by Martin O'Neill manager of Ireland last night , suggesting the Ireland manager has been keeping a close eye on his remarkable transformation at the Cardiff City Stadium.



" Some good news/but still some worries for Russell Slade "

David Marshall having been hit with a virus has missed Cardiff City's last two League games and two International games for Scotland.
Marshall has now rejoined the Cardiff City squad and is now doing some light trading,but will miss the Derby home game where a bumper crowd of 30,000 is now expected.

Also some more good news for Russell Slade, Anthony Pilkington came on as substitute last night for Ireland, it was feared his old injury was playing up again,but thankfully Pilkington is fit for the Derby game :ayatollah:

The bad news is, the virus has spread and now Fabio Da Silva and Matt Connolly are laid up with it and could miss the Derby home game this Saturday.

Pilkington played half an hour to suggest he will be fit for pivotal play-off game on Saturday


Pilkington replaced Eunan O'Kane to allay fears over his knee injury
Russell Slade has been handed a major boost ahead of the key clash with Derby County as Anthony Pilkington returned to international action last night.

Pilkington missed Saturday's win over Switzerland as worries flared over a long-term knee injury.

But he was able to overcome any fitness issues and play a part in the 2-2 draw with Slovakia, coming on after 66 minutes to replace Bournemouth's Eunan O'Kane.

Marshall had pneumonia, which isn't highly contagious. Must be something else that's affecting Fabio and Connolly.
