Saw his goal last night, lovely movement and a super touch and finish. Here’s hoping.

Goal here just after the minute mark-

It's two in two for Mr Troy Parrott.......

**Olé Olé** · 17/08/2021, 8:17 PM

Oh, and now he has an assist. I wonder- could it turn out that Troy is actually good at football?

In the bits I seen the commentators certainly thought so. They were raving about him after the assist.

Got to keep in mind it is at a level Stephen Kenny has deemed not good enough for the squad in general, but great to see still. We've had too many false starts for too many of our players, and we really need some to start coming through this season

I think this has the makings of a great loan for Parrott - it's the first time he has gone to a team that plays decent football and are willing to play him as a striker. Also, it's probably better that it's League 1 than Championship as another bad Championship loan could start to do some serious damage to his prospects. If he goes well and scores 15 or so goals this season he'll get a Championship loan next season and will have another year of development behind him and hopefully be more ready for the step up.

The EPL likely to be a few years away for him at best, but he's only 19 so plenty of time for that in future.

Watched Charlton tonight (my team), Troy played against us , scored and overall played very well, great movement especially from him, was involved throughout, and I think he has bulked up a bit.

Cheers for that. Sounds like he took pre season seriously.

His goal is here. Not the most difficult of chances but he made the touch and finish look easy: https://twitter.com/RepTracker/statu...419896835?s=20

Edit: It wasn't the most difficult of chances because of the brilliant run which mugged the defence and the touch. So fair play.

That was a lovely goal, all about the anticipation, from the moment the ball went back to the keeper, he's drifted off into his own space. Great movement as soon as the MK midfielder wins his duel in the middle, Parrott off like a light, off like a light. Smooth finish.

The funny thing is I can see him scoring against Portugal,( if he plays) we wont collect any points but these guys are confidence players and when they start scoring the tend to continue

**pineapple stu** · 18/08/2021, 12:54 PM

He might be confident going into the game, but who's going to set up the chance for him to take? That'd be my worry.

**Kingdom** · 18/08/2021, 12:56 PM

You worry a lot Pineapple. Your worrying days should be well over by now.

just on Parrott's contract, I had a quick look there. By the end of this loan, he'll have a year left. How do the good folk of foot.ie see that working out?
I mean, by the looks of it, this loan to MK is a good one and could give him a platform to push on. Despite my own personal hopes, he's unlikely to be in Spurs first team squad next season, going into the final year of his contract, and you'd expect a loan to the championship especially if he signs a new contract. Wonder what happens if he doesn't sign though? Would they bury him in the 23's?

**pineapple stu** · 18/08/2021, 1:02 PM

Being pessimistic is the way to go with our team. If you're not proven right, then you're pleasantly surprised. It's win win!

**Kingdom** · 18/08/2021, 1:05 PM

Pessimistic Or Sudden Hypercritical Logic. "Win/win" is certainly right.

**pineapple stu** · 18/08/2021, 1:18 PM

Hypercritical?

I didn't think it was possible to be overly critical of how ****e we are at present!

If he doesn’t sign, you’d imagine they’d try sell him to a championship side...
