Player of the Month
Lazaros Christodopoulos
Despite only signing for the club in July, Lazaros Christodopoulos has come in and made an impressive start and has forced his way into the centre of our midfield. Only one assist to his name is misleading as his all round play in the box to box or deep lying playmaker role has helped Parma claim three points from three draws and sooner or later his play will help the side pick up three points by winning a game.
Injuries
Josh Brillante. The Australian midfielder who has been a key player for the team so far has missed the last few weeks with a thigh strain, although he will only miss the next week or so with the injury and will be returning to full fitness sooner rather than later.
Mattia Minesso. The club’s number 7 is another player similar to Brillante who has missed the last few weeks with a groin strain although is very close to returning to full fitness.
Marcello Trotta. Unlike the other two players in the treatment room, Trotta will miss the next 4 to 5 months with a broken foot, which is a cruel blow for the team, considering how he was starting to settle into the squad.
Next Month
On paper, October looks to be a difficult month. Parma’s meeting with Chievo before the international has become a big fixture after Parma failed to win one of their first six games and the game against the Veronese side could be considered must win. Lazio on paper are a tough side but for Parma they will go into the side confident as the Roman side have struggled so far this season. However AC Milan have had an unbeaten start to the season giving Paolo Vanoli’s men a tough fixture to overcome at the San Siro, before Genoa visit the Ennio Tardini in Parma’s final game of the month.

Manager’s Thoughts
Yes we’re bottom of the table. But I am not worried yet. We have only played six games this season, and we’ve got a young squad with some new players still trying to find their way. It’s not that the performances have been poor either. Overall we have deserved more than we have got, and eventually if we keep playing the way we have been doing we will get the results we are after. We should have beaten Udinese and Carpi but the quality they have in their sides have shone through and we were unfortunate to drop points, but again we’re not downhearted and I have every belief this squad can turn it around and pull ourselves up the table sooner rather than later.
