Spurs fans keeping an eye on Parrott and concerned about his limited minutes on the pitch:

First start in the league this evening against AZ Alkmaar

[JR89]

Scores against Feynoord in the Rotterdam derby.

[tetsujin1979]

Fourth of the season, and second against local rivals

[JR89]

Got an assist for their second goal but they lost 4-2.

Nice goal tbf. Similar to Idah's goal against NZ in a way - cool, calm and confident finish. Good to see.

Parrott's goal at 2:40 and his assist at 6:35 in the video below

[JR89]

Nice finish and moves him to joint top scorer for Excelsior with 5 goals.

Some turnaround after that - 2-0 up after 13 minutes, but they had a player sent off midway through the first half and ultimately lost 4-2.

Eight league games without a win now, but at least Parrott's starting games. Was worried he'd been signed as back-up given Olé Olé's suggestion on the previous page. And he's scored more than their top scorer last season already.

Good to see him playing and scoring a few goals. His return is decent in terms of minutes per goal also. Probably still needs to be taken in the context of the strength of that league all the same. The top scorer in the division has 18 goals (compared to Troy's five) and is only a few months older than him.

Could also take into context the quality of team the two players play in and that Parrott has only roughly 400 minutes compared to Gimenez’s 1200.

There is a big gap in quality between Feyenoord and Excelsior - put Parrott in the Feyenoord team and he would have at least double what he has at the moment.

Interestingly David Connolly scored 42 goals in 48 appearances whilst on loan there. A much better scoring rate than he manages at Feyenoord, but I think he was playing in the second tier at the time.

Yes they were in the second tier at the time - the got promoted in 2002. Connolly scored 7 goals in 25 games for Feyenoord over the 4 seasons he was there (when he wasn't out on loan) before joining Wimbledon.

Started and played full 120 mins for Excelsior in the Dutch cup last night away to 3rd tier team Spakenburg, who made semi finals last year. Looking at Excelsior's twitter he seems to have had a busy game. He got an assist, was involved in forcing an OG for the equalizer at 2-2 but also came up short a good few times with shots and efforts which didn't come off. Game was 2-2 after 90 and went to ET where Agrafiotis got the winner for Excelsior.
