Troy Parrott F Excelsior Rotterdam (loan from Spurs) b.2002

[tetsujin1979]

Despite joining the team after the season had already started, and missing the last few games with injury, he's still their top scorer this season, as many goals as the next two (Driouch and Horemans) combined

I was. Parrott has had a decent season in a poor team and also had too many injuries this season. He's not been brilliant but I can see why some better clubs would take a look at him. I watched probably 5 or 6 games and he does still come very deep for the ball and get involved in the build up play so I'm not sure he'll ever be a 20 goal a season striker in any league, but he's a good footballer

Yeah agree, he's doing ok - 1 goal every 180mins played in a team scoring every 65mins, but he’s not a 20 goals a season player and less so at a higher level than he is currently playing at. Which questions whether 9 is his best position. Think he should be tried as a 10, as he does naturally tend to drift out of position and drop deep, and his strengths are, imo, linking play/ creating for others. He has been at his best for us when able to play off a second striker so could work.

His best stretch on loan was at Ipswich - where he played as a 10.

Scored tonight in a 4-0 win. I thought he was out for most of the rest of the season for some reason. Nice little boost!

Started tonight and got himself a goal and an assist on his return from injury.

And a red!

That's mad - he'd been subbed off just past the hour but was sent off in the last minute. Some post-match aggro maybe?

Better to have a nice white chardonnay !

Apparently for pulling the ear of an opponent after the final whistle. VAR picked it up...

Very Dutch, I must say. Van Gogh would be proud!

Had to watch this a few times to see what Parrott did, looks like he reached out and flicked an opponents ear at 0:27 .
There's an argument that it's head contact, but really??
