He has been poor again (even in the game he scored) after a promising start judging by a detailed review of their fans forum. I haven’t been able to watch any of the Ipswich games. But he’s young, has talent, and is getting game time so plenty of promise yet. But he is behind where I thought he’d be by now, he’s adjusting slowly to senior football. If Idah was fit, Parrott should be with our 21s for now
Starts today.
Just of curiosity, I was looking up his PL2 record the other day, which stands at 12 appearances, only 7 of which were starts, and with 2 goals.
scored.
Before his move into senior football (and the Championship and League One really are of a relatively high standard) he was really only playing U18/U19s football. This truly ought to put things into perspective for people; it's a huge leap.
He needs time before fans rush into any knee-jerk judgements regarding his future prospects.
Interesting to see if he is involved tonight. Didn't play with u23s yesterday. If he's not included tonight he may as well head back to Spurs (if he hasn't all ready).
It's a must win for ipswich tonight- they seem to have gone slightly backwards since getting rid of Lambert.
I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if Troy is involved.

Would a loan move to the LOI for the summer be beneficial for him or would he be better off going back to Spurs for preseason. Youd have to say hes a million miles from the 1st team there now
I wonder how long his contract there is for. There's no point in him sticking around in the Spurs u23s so another loan looks likely - probably to league 2 you'd have thought. Maybe LOI though, if there's interest.
According to the Spurs forum there are rumors that Parrott has been sent back to Spurs early for reasons not explained.
Was wondering if it was a disciplinary reason behind being dropped from squad...a few first team players ended up in the u23s i think. Either way better he is back at Spurs at this point. No more stupid videos when he goes out on next loan.
I want to be careful what I type here as I don't want the site to get into any trouble, but a quick google of his name tells me that he shouldn't be anywhere near the Irish team. We shouldn't have any players associating with the people he has pictures with all over the internet.
It's been brought up before. The guy can be friends with whoever he wants.
Yeah, that's fair, but I am entitled to my opinion, and as a supporter of the Irish team all my life, I'd prefer for him not to be included in the squad again.
Fair enough, but unless he's committed a crime I don't consider it mine or the international manager's business who his (as far as I know law-abiding) mates are.
Ah that's a bit excessive. People can get fierce judgmental over things that don't really matter. I don't know is this human nature that was always there and just social media makes it easier to voice, but it seems a lot more prevalent these days. Everyone's being forced to apologise for something.
I don't see any particular upshot of his loan deal being ended early though (if indeed it has been)
He can be friends with whoever he wants to. It’s nothing to do with his football career.
Personally, I’d rather he didn’t know any of that particular crowd but he’s human and so are they.
He probably grew up with them.
i think people might be surprised who previous senior internationals were friendly with / related to...i'm not sure we can start vetting our players social circles.
The upshot of ending the loan deal is that he is not getting into the squad of a now struggling team, who can't score a goal. He is not playing with their u23 team either (who as a category 2 team are playing at a level below spurs u23 side). This is not a good look and potentially damaging to his career, and where he goes on loan next season. He would be much better off returning to Spurs and getting game time at their u23 level (if he can get back in their team).
