The Tottenham Hotspur loanee scored his second goal of the season on Wednesday.

"I thought I was playing well at the start of the season. It was really painful when it happened (at Norwich) so I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be good. The Irishman does give off the vibe of someone made of tough stuff and now he's raring to make up for lost time. We need to be better here and keep up that away form, to finish the season strongly. To be fair, I smashed it, so it was in the net before I even looked up. We haven't been good enough and the results show that, so we need to start picking them up. I am happy to play with whoever - we all understand each other. We are going to need them here for the rest of the season."

While Parrott has not played at home for a lengthy period, he did not hide away from the difficulties North End have encountered on their own patch. When referee Josh Smith pointed to the spot in Wednesday night's clash against Luton Town, Parrott was straight over to the ball and not letting anyone else anywhere near it. Questions remain over PNE's performances and results, especially at Deepdale - with their home form the second worst in the Championship.
