Troy Parrott

He will come good once his attitude in the future is good. Hopefully good people will guide him towards success.

The excitement and interest and desire for him to progress quickly in reality is a product of our lack of ready made strikers. Otherwise, I think most people would be keeping an eye out on a promising prospect, rather than analysing every game. Our current striking options can be broken down into a few categories, and the problem in the "ready made" ones amount to Shane Long who is on the fringes of the Southampton team, and hasn't scored an international goal in almost five years. McGoldrick retiring leaves Long as the only established and experienced option. You then have untested youth like Obafemi, Parrott, and Idah who have a lot of developing to do. After that, you have the lads in their mid twenties-early thirties who are on the fringes, yet have a real chance, based on our lack of options.

I say that as someone who can get carried away myself but that’s passion no ones immune we can let it run away with us.

Really I’d like to see him go out on loan for another 3 seasons after this season before I’d even begin to predict where hel end up. Hasn’t gone to plan so far at Millwall but that can change too. He’s plenty time and this year isn’t the be all and end all if it doesn’t work out.

If our current forward and midfield options remain as they are going into March, we really need to manage expectations. 

We have polls on this forum before every game with posters suggesting ireland winning by a couple of goals sometimes. 

I seriously see us struggling in games...

I mean he was injured before he started a game for them and then he exacerbated that injury in a League Cup tie. Since then, I would've said he's had adequate game time.

Is it even guaranteed that there's a better footballing side at that level who would take him? I wouldn't necessarily say so.

And by all means I'd love to see him get a loan to a club in somewhere like Germany, France, Spain or Italy but there's no indication that something like that will happen.

I'm quite disheartened by this if it's true. Yes, the move hasn't gone swimmingly, but he's 18 years old and tests like this are a necessary part of his development. I'd rather see him push on at Millwall and get past this bump in the road than go back to square one as it were.

Troy Parrott – 7

Another great impact off the bench. Played some great passes to create openings, got in behind and asked questions of the Coventry defence.
