yes. BBC 'Goal! Huddersfield Town 0, Preston North End 1. Troy Parrott (Preston North End) from a free kick with a right footed shot to the centre of the goal.'
I'm waiting for the 'better than Harry' remarks !

Their first goal of the season
start of a flood - currently 4-0 up after Troy started scoring
Not their first choice side tbh and Huddersfield didn't have a great side out, player I rate started and scored twice for PNE. Doesn't start often in the league for some reason.
Its the first round of the Carabou (or EFL) cup.
Most/all of the sides competing will have put out sides with a mix from their first team squad - probably those requiring game time, those who have done well in pre-season but not regularly in first team plus a nucleus from the 'first team' (recognising its beginning of season so who's in the first team may still be fluid in some positions).
And a good few of their sides rotated up to the 5 player max at 45/60 minutes or so - for similar reasons to the above.
So PNE are pretty typical in their team selection (few if any playing a nailed on first team) . Parrott gets in as its a great opportunity for PNE to play him in a first team squad game and see him link up with them as well as see his own talents in a first team game, without risk of dropping Championship points.
So PNE are probably pretty happy with his performance last night - aside from getting his first goal (takes pressure off) he put in a decent effort and showed he's a good enough player to compete at this level - this is his 3rd games (first one only 12 mins) against Championship level opposition, with all teams only just about out of pre-season mode and into full competition mode. Its a good position to be in for Parrott - scored PNE's FIRST competitive goal of season which sparked PNE into scoring four goals and that will not be forgotten by PNE.
It was more or less a tap in from what I’ve seen.
Yes I saw that too but the BBC website had originally called it a FK for some reason
Pissed journo? I mean, that never happens
I think the Preston move will be perfect for him...
Good old fashioned historical club...
Play in the same colours as us...
and I expect him to come back wearing a Bowler hat on Gentry Day ..
