Whites defender eyes Xmas return
Parker has been restricted to just one appearance this season, against Exeter on the opening day, due to a hip problem that required surgery.[LNB]Parker said: "I'm bang on schedule from what I can gather, but I haven't put a time on it. I'd like to think if I'm back around Christmas I will be happy, but it might take longer than that, so mentally I'm prepared for anything."[LNB]Parker has been determined not to be seen moping around Thorp Arch during his rehabilitation.[LNB]He added: "I've seen some people who've been injured for a while who don't want to talk to you because they are in such a bad mood.[LNB]"I've not been like that. If I have a smile on my face I hope it will rub off on other people. I'm not a doom and gloom person."[LNB][LNB]
