We are in desperate shape though.
We've had plenty of third tier players in the squad of late (granted, our results have reflected that at times), so someone who can score in the second tier has to be considered I think. And I'm not sure we have a real poacher in the squad, so you can say he's different to Parrott, but that may be all the more reason to consider him.
Good to see him doing so well. Is quickly becoming something of a cult favourite among the Rotherham support by the looks of it.
Let?s wait until he actually starts a couple of league games first?
Once again, who are the options to replace Parrott?Originally Posted by tommy_c12000
Evan Ferguson
Will Keane
Shane Long
Georgie Kelly
Aaron Connolly
Seanie Maguire
Is there anyone in Scotland? Is Aidan Keena the best LOI option?
Can certainly see how if that?s the list, Kelly is very much in the conversation. Ferguson is the future but he?s not ready yet. Will Keane didn?t look good enough in March. Connolly has a lot of growing up to do. Shane Long is 35. Then you?ve got Georgie Kelly and you?ve got Keena who has proven it much less than Kelly has.
You?ve also got Seanie Maguire who I initially forgot. Terrible luck with injuries. Good player whenever I?ve seen him play. Links up well as a second striker. Goals have totally dried up though.

Sinclair Armstrong is probably worth a mention?
You'd have to presume Georgie Kelly is ahead of him in the pecking order.
Ah yeah, I'm just mentioning him as another option. Or another name for our list of bad options.
I'm considering renaming the thread the Embarrassing Poverty of Forward Options.
You can't spell failure without FAI
We could do with a Georgie in the team ~ ~ A touch of exoticism.
Starts tonight anyway, away to Stoke.
Three minutes in he was denied a tap-in by a last ditch tackle. Don't know too what extent he could/should have scored, but Rotherham scored the corner anyway, so maybe split the difference and call it an assist?
Scores again, off the bench.
When's the squad announcement...?
Replaced Conor Washington on the 37th minute and only lasted 8 minutes himself before getting injured.
Kelly came on as a sub (v Norwich) in the 37th minute, but injured 8 minutes later and replaced by Ogbene.
Idah, Parrott and now Kelly - the Irish striker injury curse is working overtime
Quite a serious hamstring tear is how the Rotherham manager described Kelly's injury.
Back from injury today; came on with 20 to go
Not as long on the sidelines as I'd feared from JR's post above thankfully
Picked up his Masters degree too I hear.
Kelly has a muscle tear in his calf, which will keep him out of action for 4-6 weeks, according to manager Matt Taylor (Yorkshire Post, 23 Dec).
Makes his latest return from injury as a sub today in a 2-0 home defeat against Coventry
He came on as a late sub against Reading on Tuesday too.
