Parrot attacks player during a match (https://www.planetfootball.com/videos/watch-parrot-lands-on-players-back-during-croatian-second-tier-match/). The punishment for this could be severe. He could wind up caged. Some might argue he should be shot.

Ive been watching the All Or Nothing Series with Spurs the last few nights. Anyone that hasnt seen it, its well worth a watch.
Watching the inside track of Mourinhos thinking when they had an injury crisis is interesting. In earlier episodes they were short players in defense and Mourinho asks his assistant if there are any kids he can call on, from there Tanganga got brought in and did well. Later when every striker at the club is injured Parrott is never mention even though he is seen in every episode in team meetings and training. Maybe he gets a mention in the last couple that I havent seen yet and obviously not every conversation is aired but its pretty stark when compared to the conversations we were all having about him not playing during their injury crisis last season. I think its pretty obvious that he just didnt rate him enough last season to throw him in at a young age. He really must not have been impressing at training enough to make it clear that he should have been picked.

I watched it - not great, but the COVID episodes are interesting - it's just as likely that whatever mentions of Parrott that Mourinho made didn't make it to the final documentary, because Parrott didn't play
In one of the episodes when it comes back that Kane is injured Mouriniho mentions Parrott as an option.

But why didnt he play is the overall gist of my point really. If he was tearing up trees in training you would think that Mourinho would have picked him. He was with the 1st team all season

I read somewhere the other day that Parrott has gone back to Spurs to get treatment for his ankle injury but I havent seen it anywhere else since. Does anyone know how long hes going to be out for?
https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/tottenham-return-was-right-call-for-troy-parrotts-rehab-as-striker-set-for-millwall-return-today/
the article is dated 16 Oct; seems like he went back to spurs after the initial injury but is now back with millwall so must be almost ready to return. It states after the next international break so mid November.

The article I read ( which I cant find now) said that he would be out of our November games because he has just now gone back to Spurs.

Should be back soon, but the Millwall manager doesn't want him to appear for the international side.
Given his recent history with injuries, it might be for the best for him

Sounds like the conversations have already taken place that he will be called up. To be fair to the Millwall manager he did say that the extra training with the National team could also be a positive.

He looked a bit leggy in the 20 minutes he got. His touch was pretty poor at times. Showed one moment of good awareness when a ball was played through to him but he was offside so he let it go and the other player running on should have scored.
Twice he played the ball out to the wing but instead of bursting into the box he just seem to stroll around after, I'd expect a striker to be more hungry to get in the box.
He'll have better performances

Yes agree looks like he needs at least 4 or 5 senior games before we will start to see the best of him (hopefully). Far from the finished article

Rowett admits he considered starting Parrott at the weekend, which is a positive sign in terms of his first team prospects.
Seems he rates him highly.

Not sure I fancy Troy's chances of having a lot of chances created for him by good football :D

Played okay today, out wide left. A couple of glimpses of his ability. Slowly adjusting to senior football as he builds up his match sharpness. He should continue to improve, ideally more centrally.
I wouldn’t buy into the hyperbolic kennykids assessment

5th appearance tonight for Millwall, as he starts vs QPR. Looking at the team (without Matt Smith and Bod) and Mason Bennett playing, I suspect Parrott may be playing centrally. This is the time when he needs to start showing us what he can do

He could do with a goal for sure, but he could also do with getting a bit of service. Seen most of the minutes hes played and hes been far from brilliant but Millwall are awful to say the least.

His movement is so much better than his teammates and he makes runs that they can't seem to capitalize upon with a bit of good supply. However, I feel he looks a little lazy out of possession. He relies on the wingers to do his pressing and sits off the centre backs. Maybe he is allowed to do this but it just looks bad to me. There's definitely more in him.

Reasonable outing in a poor Millwall side. Just subbed at 1-1. One tame effort, one blocked effort, one nice turn and shot which keeper did well to save, and some nice link up play. Nothing earth shattering
he kind of needs a goal now soon enough. he's getting plenty minutes. he'll know that himself better than anyone of course.

Millwall are dreadful. Most passes are over his head. He seems to be the only player on the team who puts his foot on the ball and tries to pass it. I think he should have given more thought as to where he was going on load. I agree with a previous comment about him not pressing to vigorougly. HOwever hi was the 4th Millwall player to be subbed off.

The main positive is that Milwall seem to be taking his introduction and return from injury very carefully. He played a max of 60 mins in his first few starts. Got a break to come off the bench for a game, then got 75 mins last time out. He should be near full fitness now and hopefully, with that, comes some 90 minute performances and goals.

You would have to presume Spurs are calling the shots there, to a degree.
I wouldn't worry too much about goalscoring just yet. Millwall are brutal, most championship football is launched hoof ball over the head. This loan spell is, primarily, about getting solid senior game time for Troy. The goals will come. Experience is key for now.

No disrespect, but that's nonsense.
Millwall, Wycombe, Rotherham (maybe?), Birmingham (more defensive than outright direct), Boro (under Warnock), Cardiff(ish) and that's it.
The other 18 teams, many of whom have overseas/ex PL managers, embrace a variety of styles which are anything but "hoofball".
As for TP going to one of the few which does, it could be because that was the best offer he received ("best" as in level, location, package etc).
While Mourinho, concentrating on the here-and-now of his current squad, probably wasn't bothered, esp since he (JM) may be gone from Spurs before Troy's time comes at the club.

True enough.
While Millwall will want to prove to Spurs that they can handle loanees carefully, if they're to get any more from Spurs.

I think everyone just needs to be patient with Parrott considering how young he is.
At his age Harry Kane was in the exact same spot, on loan at Millwall. It took him a few more years and loan spells to really kick on, so it's very early days to be expecting much from Parrott.
that's all well and good but if he isn't doing the business he will lose his place.
Good that he is getting game time for sure but if he's not scoring yet he's not ready which means he's not ready for the national team.
We will see. Just pointing out that it's a slight concern.

I think I heard Ray Houghton say that nobody expected Harry Kane to become as good as he has !

At 18, Harry Kane was at League One and scored 5 goals in 18 games for Leyton Orient. Based on his performances, that is attainable for Troy at Championship level!

Well, he's on 0 for 6 right now, so he now needs 5 in 12 to meet your attainable target. Maybe it's attainable, but I think that's a bit optimistic.

Kane was 17 when he was Orient and then moved to Millwall in the summer after at the same age as Parrott. He scored 7 goals for them that season, lets give him the whole season to see how he fares in comparison.

TP is one of a number of young striker prospects in English football who has a better than average chance of making it at the top level. (And as a Spurs fan, I hope he does)
Whereas HK is a world class, once-in-a-generation striker, like eg Shearer or Lineker before him.
There is nothing to be gained by comparing the two.
It is reasonable to hope that TP might be eg another Theo Walcott or Robbie Keane, though there is also the possibility of his being eg the next Francis Jeffers. Or (just as likely) somewhere in between.

No he moved to Millwaill in January until the end of that season. From wiki:
On 29 December 2011, Kane and Tottenham teammate Ryan Mason (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Mason) agreed to join Championship (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFL_Championship) club Millwall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millwall_F.C.) on loan from 1 January 2012 until the end of the season.[42] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Kane#cite_note-42) After making his debut against Bristol City (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_City_F.C.), manager Kenny Jackett (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Jackett) said that he had "very good debut" but was "unlucky not to score". He also said that Kane would "be a good addition" for the club in the second half of the season. He went on to score seven goals in the final 14 matches of the season.[34] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Kane#cite_note-Harry-34) Kane scored nine goals in 27 matches which resulted in him being named Millwall's Young Player of the Year for 2011–12 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_Millwall_F.C._season).[43] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Kane#cite_note-YPOTY-43) His run of goals scored towards the end of the season has been credited with helping to raise Millwall in the table away from the threat of relegation that season.[44] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Kane#cite_note-44)
I get the initial reason about why Kane was brought into this thread - i.e. Parrott still young so no need to panic plus the Spurs / Millwall angle but it is probably best not to extrapolate out too much from Kane's averages loans spells - there's no logic to it!!! Kane will probably go on to become the 2nd highest PL scorer of all time.
I do see Harvey Elliot doing well at Blackburn with goals and assists so hopefully Troy can make a telling impact soon. I don't really go with the typw of football doesn't suit him stuff etc. If you are a quality player even at 18/19 you will show it in moments and the coaches / fans etc. will spot that.
