His work rate and commitment since joining us has been absolutely superb, and shown glimpses of true class at times. My only one frustration is that maybe he works too hard at times as crazy as that sounds. Whilst I love a striker who is willing to track back or pick up the ball from deep, when Eisa is absent we need Parrott to be leading the line. His runs and movement off the ball is brilliant, as seen when he got on the end of two Lewington through balls yesterday, so I want to see a little more of that. I do think he is better suited to a 3 with another natural striker, so with Watters back to fitness and Eisa to follow the role and set up may suit Parrott again a little more.

Possibly our player of the season so far (although Twine, O'Riley and Robson all have a case too). Works hard and you can see the quality in everything he does. Definitely taken a few tips off Harry Kane with how deep he drops but also the quality of his passing and creating space.

I hope he gets another goal soon to ease his frustration. He's got 2 but could easily have had 5 or 6 by now. He's getting so many opportunities on goal which is a big difference for our strikers compared to last season.

If he carries on like this I really hope he doesn't get an Afobe-style recall in January.

He's bl**dy brilliant and, I think, destined for 'great things' :ugeek:

After what happened with Afobe / Bamford /Carlton Morris, I just want other clubs to know that he is rubbish with a bad attitude etc.

I was impressed at the way he deliberately didn't score at Gillingham ;)

Good point. I've always said he was cr*p. Send him back now I say. Let's face it no-one else will want him.

I hope he doesn't get his shooting boots until the end of January... 8-)
(then I hope he goes on to score a sackful)

His work rate, tracking back, energy, movement, all fucking brilliant. I just wish he stayed up front a little more!

He's doing great but he's absolutely everywhere apart from in the box

I have only been able to see the last two home games but definitely agree with this. Its very much like watching Kane play for England, drifting all over the park. I guess its more noticeable while Eisa is not on the pitch too. But then, once Watters came on yesterday, Parrott was very deliberately moved to the right wing.
