I am surprised to see the championship ranked at 18th.

The gap between the premiership and the championship must be huge.

Where the f*ck do you pull this stuff out of? The Eredivisie is ranked as the 6th best league in Europe currently LOL
We're decent enough..

The 13th best league in Europe? Where are you seeing that?

Shocking marking but good to see Parrott in that area getting on the end of things.

Having another good game tonight against Utrecht, was unlucky with a chance or two just then, and the majority of attacking play for Excelsior is going through him.

I think Ireland typically only selecting players in England/Scotland is changing. The effects of Brexit are only starting to happen in recent years with players moving farther afield. And Kenny did have Cullen with Ireland while he was at Anderlecht, Johnson while in Portugal albeit on loan, and Ebosele in Italy getting some time as well. Before that it was rare though.

But it would be good to see Troy getting rewarded. He deserves it as you say.

I'm not too worried about irish players getting championship experience. Yes it's a competitive physically challenging league that I'm a fan of but you get very good international players that do really well for their countries without setting foot in England.

Troy should easily be a part of out next squad with a decent role on merit for his performances this season. I would even advocate for the likes of Garcia-McNulty to get a call up as a LB option, but seems like our players who aren't in English or Scottish leagues get discounted as "playing in a poor league" but it's such a lazy argument a good player is a good player we need to be more imaginative and get the most out of our limited talent pool not create pointless barriers.

f**k the championship, can't understand why some lads on here can't see outside the UK.

Because it's a very competitive league and you want to be competing at the highest level or close enough to it to maximise your own potential.



True..its probably one of the most intense leagues leagues in Europe. That said teams from within it have never done well in Europe - though its been 10 years since a championship team have been involved.

There is no reason why Parrot can't play in the premier league . Look at jesus and hojlund who play for arsenal and man united . They are terrible.
Spouting absolute nonsense if you think Parrot is on their level.

Agree with that. I don’t get the clamour for him to have another go in the Championship. It’s a tough league and he might not have the athleticism needed to succeed.

I’d rather he played his football where he can thrive, even if it’s not one of the more challenging leagues.

Yah would definitely prefer him to stay where he is or get a move to another decent European league.

Yeah not sure the intensity of the Saturday-Tuesday 46 game championship season is suited to him at the moment.

Gabriel Jesus - 113 goals in 289 games for Arsenal and Man City; 19 in 64 for Brazil - is a terrible player, and therefore Parrott - 4 goals in 48 games in two Championship stints - must be able to make it in the Premier?

Did you ever hear such crap?

If he is doing well for the rest if the season then you might get Feyenoord sniffing. They have taken players off of Excelsior over the years.
Some thing like that would be a great next step.
