Troy Parrott and MK Dons took a huge step in their Championship promotion push on Tuesday evening with an important 2-1 win over Crewe. In top form in recent weeks to cement their place in the League One play-offs, Liam Manning's side leapfrogged Rotherham United and jumped into second courtesy of their latest victory.
Now one point behind league leaders Wigan Athletic and two ahead of Rotherham, MK Dons have actually played two more games than their rivals but their three points does indeed pile the pressure on ahead of the final few weeks of the season. Struggling in his loan spells with Millwall and Ipswich Town in 2020/21, Parrott's switch from Tottenham to MK Dons has worked wonders for him and the confidence is flowing in his game.
Perhaps not in and amongst the goals over the course of the season despite two strikes in his first three games, the frontman has still made a huge contribution to his team and has played a major role in their rise up the table. Ending a four-month goal drought with a double against Cheltenham Town at the beginning of last month, Parrott was also the hero on international duty for Republic of Ireland in March's international break.
