It’s a lovely start for Parrott but what’s most encouraging is the bigger picture a decent side who play good football and an experienced partner at that level in Eisa who seems to have built up a good connection with him. 

Hopefully he can stay fit and firing play every week and if he could register 20-25 goal contributions (has 3 already) it would be magic. Important to temper expectations as plenty can go wrong still injuries,dips in form for a 19 year old all the rest. 

He took that goal last night effortlessly made it look simple it wasn’t especially on his weaker foot. His back seems to be up now which bodes well. 

As for Scully yes it’s a pity Kenny hasn’t given him a look in so far. As stated if he keeps doing his stuff and backs up what he did last year I think he will get a transfer up to the Championship. Eventually if Scully continues to progress relentlessly he will get those calls ups.

Wouldn't be surprised if he was put on loan again to a Championship club next season on the back of a hopefully good season in League 1 for MK Dons. 


Havnt heard the word goalie in about 30 yearsLOL

Kenny has highlighted Parrott's impact at underage level as a big reason for his elevation to the senior squad. Scully has no goals in 9 underage games for Ireland and maybe he didn't get enough chances but there were others ahead of him (and there was a brief period with England for Scully that conveniently doesn't get mentioned). Scully also was very poor in the playoffs for Lincoln which can't have helped him. 

Anyway, I think they are different players with Parrott being younger, having a higher ceiling and a greater variety of positions and, rightly or wrongly, Scully hasn't been called up yet and might need to do a bit at Championship level to earn that call up.

Strange that both goals have technical similarities. 

Great movement from Parrott, controls the ball with his right foot to set up the left foot finish.

I think he's managing his career very well I must say. Last season was difficult as he was playing mens football for the first time as an 18 year old, this season he looks stronger and more confident but still a teenager.

For contrast, Adam idah is now 20 and has had limited first team football, mostly late sub appearance and 3 or 4 Cup games. By the time Parrott is 20 he'll have three full seasons under his belt.

There's a little bit of Kelleher v Bazunu in the Idah v Parrott situation - Bazunu and Parrott going out on loan and getting lots of first team experience at a young age, Kelleher and Idah sticking it out with their parent clubs so far and getting some first team football but not a huge amount. Will be interesting to see which approach was more successful in two or three years time.

I think it's a significant weakness of Kenny's at this stage if he's still judging players based on how they did for his Under 21s. In fact it's nonsense really as it means he's basically judging someone like Scully on his performances 18 months to three years ago when he was a youth player at West Ham and takes no account of his development since he moved into senior football.

But it does seem as though that's what he's doing given that he left him out of the squad during the summer. Similar for McNamara also it seems, Kenny would appear to have already made up his mind on him also. All managers have their favourites but he seems to be particularly one eyed when it comes to certain players.

Well at the moment it looks like Parrott and Bazunu are the ones that are seeing the most benefit. 

Parrott has clearly gained in his experience, he's played for Millwall, ipswich and MKDons so he's played in various different formations and teams, he's getting starts and improving his overall play. Also doesn't hurt that he has 2 senior international goals already.

Idah has been injured to be fair and will hopefully establish himself this year in the premier league but until then he's behind parrott.

Bazunu has taken a similar path to Parrott and I feel is pulling away in the ireland goalkeeper number one spot. 

Kelleher has the potential to be a fantastic keeper goalie but hasn't proved anything yet.

The good thing for Parrott and Idah is that both of them can start (see Hungary). It would be quite a risk to start Kelleher and Bazunu.

Kelleher at LB could work.

It's reactionary but I can't help but think Idah would be much better off playing in the Championship this season rather than scraping minutes here and there with Norwich.

Thats it in a nutshell for me.

Parrott isn't really performing any better than he did last season, if you watched him then he was still making the same runs and movement, anticipating the ball etc.. as he is now, but the big difference is hes in a team that have the ball a lot more and make good use of it. Hes getting chances he didn't have.

Millwall and Ipswich were just bad moves. If I recall they were both near the bottom of the table in terms of goals scored last season which translated from their lack of chances created.

It wasnt because they didnt have anyone to score, Harry Kane would have struggled in Parrotts boots in the same conditions.

Some people questioning if he meant the assist. I think he did. Either way, the touch and speed of thought to put it in the danger zone was something else. Truly great technique.
