A bad day for the Parrott/Idah bashers. Still only 21 and 22.

Cut we cut out this toxic idea that you can only have one of two extreme positions on a player? The forum is for discussion, and that attitude is just driving away posters. Gloating that your 'team' is winning the argument today is pathetic, no matter the player and no matter your opinion. A goal doesn't make a striker the next Ronaldo, nor does it refute concerns about their current ability or career trajectory, any more than a rough patch makes someone irredemably rubbish. Every Irish fan wants Parrott and Idah to succeed. Some disagree about their value to the team or squad right now, and that's their perogative. If you want to go somewhere that position isn't allowed, go buy some pom poms.

I was being a little bit tongue in cheek, but point accepted.

Thanks man. You contribute really well here at times, and the quality of the discussion here rests with the regulars.

Great strike. I really think he could do a job as a 10. I know he obviously wants to be a 9 but for us if he developed into a central attacking midfielder that would be very welcome

Came on in the 82nd minute today V Sparta Rotterdam at 1.1 & hit the winner on 94. Up to fifth.

Confident first time strike, let�s keep it going Troy!

Not really Tommy, not even a little bit, he mis hit it when trying to strike it confidently first time & got a serious slice (!) of luck. But it went in & he got the winner.

A subtle slice over the keeper? I saw it in real time speed which looks like a great finish, replay looks less kind to Troy for sure�but they all count. Had the confidence to take first time which has to count for something!

Scores again today; his third goal in six sub appearances. Though the game was over at 4-1 down. Still, has to be pushing for a start sooner rather than later

Excelsior slip to sixth, as close to fourth as to 18th and last

I am getting a feel of the Moniker Super-Sub coming on ~ ~ It has been very silent for along time.

**Ol� Ol�** · 22/10/2023, 4:44 PM

Feels a bit unusual he hasn't got a start yet so I'm assuming the fitness isn't 100%?

They went into the Vitesse game with him on 2 in 4 and he didn't start that day either.

Unless the issue is that Agrafiotis is their man man (5 goals), plays through middle and they can't fit Troy in elsewhere. Looking at it now, he has come on for Agrafiotis in almost every game so that appears to be the explanation alright.

Three goals in six appearances - all as a sub - making him Excelsior's second top scorer. Agrafiotis has five in nine appearances, all starts.

Also, with Anselmo Garcia MacNulty in PEC Zwolle's side, until he was substituted on 85m, it means that two Republic of Ireland players appeared in the same Eredivisie game for the first time ever!

Yeah, so, my explanation stands. They also own Agrafiotis which is significant.

Came on after 65 mins as sub for Agrafiotis, with Excelsior 2-1 down away to Volendam. Yellow card 5 mins later. Volendam scored their third a minute after that, game ended 3-1.
