Interesting - it wasn't even a shot, he was trying to square the ball across the 6 yard box, so it definitely wasn't going anywhere near the goal. His only hope is that the deflection came so soon after he hit the cross that how far away from the goal the ball was headed mightn't actually be picked up.
There is a dubious goal committee for the EFL. If the EFL is similar to the PL then they go off Opta and if Opta aren't sure it's passed onto the committee. And I do think Opta are official data partners with the EFL also.
"The identity of the goalscorer is quickly identified by Opta, the Premier League's official data partners.
However, if there is doubt over the identification, it is reviewed by a three-person panel at the Premier League Match Centre.
I presume that's to remove any question of whether the keeper would have saved it or not had it not been deflected?Quote:

Clients (including official leagues) would sometimes query or push back against Opta's selection but, as a rule of thumb, we would generally (after review of course) back the analyst decision once we were happy with it.Quote:

Parrott out 'for the foreseeable future', according to manager Ryan Lowe; he seems to mean until mid-December at the earliest, i.e. until the resumption of fixtures after the World Cup. Kenny will have to plan for the Norway game without Parrott, and presumably without Idah.
Out 'for months' with hamstring injury.

Ah balls.
I'm not sure I would have started him in the November games tbh - form isn't great and it's a good chance to look at such other options as we have - but he could do without this disruption so soon after getting off the mark.
Hamstrings are a bloody nuisance.
Yeah even if he was fit and showing form would still have been better to try other options up front alongside Obafemi.Quote:

Championship is paused for the World Cup 13 November - 9 December, so at least he's not going to miss as many games as he might have done.
Idah not even back running yet, apparently, so he'll probably be missing too. Perhaps Will Keane will get another opportunity. Been in decent form and theoretically he'd make a good foil for Obafemi. Ferguson might be given a chance too.
Yeah think he'd be more suited to playing in a front two with someone like Obafemi. Even when Wigan play with two up top they've often played a more 3-4-1-2 with Keane playing behind the front two in a deeper role.Quote:

Indo saying he managed to injure himself celebrating his goal (and indeed he was subbed off two minutes after it)
Yeah after he scores he turns and runs back towards the Preston half and then hits the deck holding his hammy.
PNE manager Ryan Lowe says "Troy won't be with us anytime soon. He’s progressing well and he’s out of the grass with the ball doing small passes and he’s on the way to a full recovery. We’ll monitor him, he will be with us in the next three or four weeks I would have thought.” (Deepdaledigest.com, 8 Dec)
Might just be sufficiently match fit to be included in Ireland squad for the France game?
"...The manager expecting to have the Irish forward back for the Huddersfield Town FA Cup game" i.e. 7 January. (Preston NE website, 15 Dec)
Spurs have agreed that Parrott is fit to play again, according to the Irish Post today, but PNE manager Ryan Lowe will be cautious about putting him on the pitch too soon (Lancashire Evening Post).
Starts upfront with Cannon tonight. Both will score!!
Well Parrott has at least!
From the spot, but they all count
Half right, maybe that means your We Will Beat France prediction would mean a draw.... Id take that :pQuote:

Started today alongside Ched Evans; replaced by Cannon with 20 to go.
No joy for either in a 0-0 draw, Preston's eighth 0-0 of the season. Only Cardiff have a worse attack in the league this season
Not Firing Unfortunately.Quote:

Interest in Troy seems to have cooled here on Foot.ie in recent weeks, but some important decisions about him and by him coming up soon. He makes some guarded comments in this interview: https://www.lep.co.uk/sport/football...ts-end-4108984
It looks like he knows he is nowhere near the Spurs' first team squad and would like to stay on at PNE. However, he is effectively on trial over the next few weeks ...and PNE are very interested in Hibs' Kevin Nesbit.
Parrott on the score sheet against Swansea
Nice finish. Should start ahead of Delap in next game now. Hopefully PNE can get back to winning ways
Starts alongside Cannon in the half five kick off which is live on Sky Sports
Can't see Preston reaching the promised land this season as they have failed many of the tests given them, just like that against Blackburn yesterday. Where that leaves Parrott is anyone's guess.Quote:

And the upside for suitors is that he could get 15 goals from him. That isn't impossible.Quote:

Ryan Lowe wasn't very happy with PNE's performance in their 4-1 defeat to Sheffield Utd "But Parrott disagreed that the players had mentality or mindset issues in the crunch clash at Bramall Lane." (Lancashire Post, 1 May). Lowe made no mention of Parrott in his assessment of PNE's needs for next season: We need another goalscorer, we're relying on young Tom (Cannon). Tom has been fantastic, he's scored eight goals in the Championship, no one would have given him a chance of scoring eight goals. Liam has come on and scored his second goal for us, which I'm pleased about, he could have had more. We're just lacking a little bit of quality in certain areas and we need to find it to make us better." (Sunderland Echo, 4 May).
Definitely. A combo for the future - in League One.Quote:

He's injured. Needs to get fit and try and get a loan by the end of the month.
"Sources".... (? an agent :eek:)...have told Pete O'Rourke, Transfers Correspondent at Football Insider, that "Troy Parrott is a loan target for a number of clubs this summer – including two Eredivisie sides, one Bundesliga outfit and one La Liga team". Tottenham signed Argentina Under-20 international Alejo Véliz this summer, on a six-year deal; Parrott has been told he can go on loan.

Rumours persist that Parrott will be going to an Eredivisie club:
