Troy Parrott

Did alright when he came on - won a few headers, held the ball up a couple of times, and had a decent attempt from distance at the death. You'd imagine Lowe will start with the same 11 again after a win though, so he might have to bide his time. No real harm, he could do with a few games out of the spotlight.

He assist-assisted a pass that led to a corner.

Took just seven minutes into his first start in over six months for Seani to have a goal involvement. Might be a while before Parrott gets another look in.

Sean Maguire - 7

Saw a header saved early on which he will have been disappointed not to convert, but he started the move for the goal a few minutes later. Sent a shot wide from 20 yards and linked PNE's play together well, like always. His first start of the season and 75 minutes in the tank.

Such a little weirdo. 

Tbf I think the fact that an Irish starting forward has now played about 900 minutes of Championship football this season without a goal involvement is worthy of comment. His previous Championship loan spell was similarly barren. I like Parrott, he has plenty of good qualities and he may well develop into a very good centre forward in time, but I'm not sure he should be starting in the Irish team currently or more importantly in March if things continue in the same vein. I hope things improve between now and then, but he looks to have lost his starting place at PNE and his stats stack up poorly when compared with our other strikers playing at the same level i.e. Keane, Hogan, Robinson, Obafemi and Ogbene.

Seems such gibberish is OK when directed at some players and not others, but such is the way with some folk. He was involved in the move for their goal. How many goals has Parrott been involved in the moves for? How many good attacking moves has he even been involved in? Funny, I distinctly remember Maguire been called "sh*t" by several posters here in the recent past yet he seems to have made as much of an impact in <90 minutes played this season than Parrott has in his last half-a-dozen starts or more. Odd how Preston's creative problems don't seem to inhibit him from impacting games at this level.
