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

I remember UCD did it one year at the end of the season. 2002/03, when google tells me we scored 23 and conceded 25 in a 27-game season.

Even that was just below one goal a game though - nearly three times the rate Preston are seeing goals. It's incredible. And they've eight goals in two Cup games.

Exciting times.

Yeah I was curious enough to go snooping on their twitter feed after today's game and the sense of outraged boredom among a lot of their friends is almost comical.

"In 22 Championship games – across spells with Preston and Millwall – Parrott has yet to find the net even once and his run without a goal has hit 1460 minutes". (Deeepdale Digest, 2 Oct). Perhaps he will be a late bloomer https://www.sportskeeda.com/football...otball-history.

Jesus is that right...zero goals?

Yeah. He wasn't ready during his first loan, and his team are almost comically defensive at the moment - lowest goals scored or conceded in the division. It makes it hard to judge him on goals. It's probably not the best place to develop as a forward, but his hold-up and linking play and his pressing game will be developing at a rate of knots.

We could end up with another Centre-Half (wink )

Don't even joke about that. I'm worried enough about losing Knight to full back.

They won't be friends for long if this continues.

😅 I can't even begin to unravel the line of thought that caused that brainfart.

Sean Maguire preferred up front for Preston tonight, at home against Molumby's West Brom.

**sadloserkid** · 05/10/2022, 7:28 PM

Preston have scored!!!

**pineapple stu** · 06/10/2022, 7:39 AM

A 1-0 win though, which fits the pattern still.

Played 12, scored 4, conceded 4...

**sadloserkid** · 08/10/2022, 2:56 PM

1-1 at HT today. The streak is at serious risk.

**Demesne Lad** · 08/10/2022, 3:42 PM

Parrott comes on at half-time, scores, via a deflection -- and injures his hamstring and leaves the field (Talksport).

**sadloserkid** · 08/10/2022, 3:43 PM

Troy has scored! Preston have three. This is not a drill.

Got injured during the celebration and had to come off unfortunately.

Has the Mayo Curse moved to Preston ? ?

**Eirambler** · 09/10/2022, 11:45 AM

Saw the goal on the EFL highlights show, he was very clearly trying to cross it and it got a massive deflection just after he kicked it that took it 45 degrees in a different direction into the goal. I don't know if they have a Dubious Goals Panel in the Championship, but if they do it's hard to see him keeping the credit for that one.

**sadloserkid** · 09/10/2022, 1:54 PM

OPTA code those games. If the original shot was on target (even headed for the opposite corner) the goal should stay with Parrott. I haven't seen the goal I'll stress but I worked for OPTA for a time and that is their definition for a deflected goal versus an OG.
