If he was able to get 10 for the season that would be a nice figure. Anything above that would be a bonus i reckon. I was disappointed he wasn't involved in the last games properly.

Assuming he continues to start games as a 9, I'd be hoping for a bit more than 10 tbh, he's on 3G 1A already from 8 games and it appears he's on penos also. It's League One. For context, Szmodics had 21 goal involvements (15G 6A) in L1 last season as an attacking midfielder, Scully had 19 (14G 5A) playing off the left, Curtis 19 off the left also (12G 7A). Mc Grath had 22 (17G 5A) in the SPL.

He started at home against Azerbaijan  i know that. i meant in terms of involvement in the game. i could have worded that more clearly. plus he didnt even get off the bench for serbia.

His crossfield pass to Harvie who set up Twine for the first goal was much better. Was a simple pass to Twine for second really who finished superbly from distance. Showed lovely feet to beat two defenders in the box early in the game but third defender recovered well. Do agree and MK fans have said the same he needs to get in the box more often. There was one instance he just stopped running while in the box and Watters played it across.

Watching it here with interest if I had one criticism of him it's that he needs to get in the box a bit more. Operating almost Firmino like at times possibly does hamper his ability to score goals. Eisa an out and out striker coming back from injury will suit him even more. He's contributing with assists which is impressive mind. Seemed to be the only criticism of him on that MK Dons forum that was linked as well, wonder has he taken too much inspiration from Harry Kane's later style of play in dropping off rather than getting his goals up first. But I won't complain if he turns in to more of a 10 than a 9, still excited about him and seems this loan move has worked out great so far

It's not just his goal contributions but I appreciate that's how he'll be measured but his all round contribution and movement have been noticed too. He has a ways to go but I feel that by the business end of the season I wouldn't be surprised if the selection headache of Parrott or Idah up front may very well be mute. I dont think idah has gone through the process that parrott has, a lot of forwards finding their way in the game need to have that spell where they're playing but not yet scoring. It's only a handful of teenagers like Rooney or mbappe that hit the ground running.

Long term you could have Idah and Parrott starting up front rather than one or the other as the 9 and 10. Think Idah would benefit more playing with someone who wants to drop for the ball rather than him being the one to do it. You've also got Connolly and Obafemi who'd be 9s in a strike duo so could be any combination of strikers, but do feel long term Parrott will occupy the position Idah is currently playing for us.

If he's called up I can't see him turning it down unless he fancies the Congo more because he'd get more caps.
