The recent decision by Gary Brabin to rotate keepers, using Mark Tyler and Kevin Pilkington, has given the Luton boss a headache.
News broke, at the back end of last week, that Pilkington had decided to leave Kenilworth Road to take up a coaching position at Notts County.
Pilkington, talking about his decision, had this to say about his decision especially after keeping a clean sheet in his final appearance,
“It was disappointing; it`s not nice to be dropped especially after keeping a clean sheet.”
“Had I still been playing the decision would have been a bit more dfficult, but with me not playing at the moment, it made it a lot easier.”
“I wouldn`t say it was rushed (the decision), just forced upon me with the opportunity to do what I want to do in the future,, coming a couple of years earlier than when I thought it would.”
“I was gutted about packing in playing football, but that`s the way it is.”
“I can`t keep playing forever although I`d like too, but hopefully in this job I can keep going for a lot longer and I`m still involved in football which I love.”
So after a Luton career which lasted 33 appearances, Pilkington returns to a club where he played almost 150 times between 2005 and 2010.
Here at Vital Luton, we`d like to wish him well.
