Excelsior were leading, but has apparently had a total collapse and saw themselves 1-4 down.
Troy came on after 72 minutes and to no surprise scored a goal again. These clowns better start using him more.
2-4 down with little time left

I've always liked what I've seen from Troy. all round striker with good balance and technique.He scored again tonight. Technically gifted, intelligent, players should be given way more time to develop imo. He's been written off by a lot of fans, but 21 isn't old (in youth development terms) if the player isn't a natural athlete. To me Parrott has always been streets ahead of Scarlet, but doesn't have the pace. It reminds me a bit of the Winks/Onomah situation several years ago. Winks was older, but Onomah got into the first team before him and most rated Josh more highly. However, Winks was always the better technical player, he was just smaller and slower. It was the same with Skipp and Tashan Oakley Booth (who was skillful). Skipp was always way neater with his passing and massively more intelligent, yet TOB was the one with all the hype, as he could dribble and was much more athletic.

Scarlett doesn't seem to have much pace either if you ask me.
Glad that he’s doing well, but to make it in the PL he’s gonna have to keep developing his technique to near Kane-levels to make it IMO. The league’s so unforgiving for strikers, you’ve got to have some sort of superpower to lean on.He scored again tonight.

5 goals and 2 assists in 583 minutes - he’s quietly having a very solid loan, and started the last six games.
the attitude issue stated by ITK in summer is more concerning than his ability/injuriesThat’s a fairly impressive goals to minutes ratio. True, it’s not the most competitive league in the world but it’s still a major league.
I agree with @joey55 that young players who are athletic and pacey tend to catch the eye more than young players who don’t have that natural pace. And maybe they tend to be overrated. We’ve had lots of those at Spurs.
Also, although fans talk about patience, there seems to be the idea that if you’re not smashing it before the age of 20, it’s too late for you and you’re past it. So a lot of fans have probably given up on Troy. He hasn’t been mentioned in any of the discussions about academy players in the Ange thread.
