Showed lots of nice touches in the 10 position that's been talked about as a possibility for Keane.

Strange post. There's been threads with more posts about nothing. No harm in his thread being commented on when he scores his first PL goal. His finish was good when you consider his touch wasn't a great one. Should have scored again after receiving a back pass from an Everton player, lacked composure when it came to him and tried to pass it to Pukki instead of taking on the shot himself. MOTD spoke highly of his performance in their analysis.

Always find it funny when lads come on to these threads and complain about the number of posts, the opinions being given or the fact that pure speculation is being discussed. If that’s going to irritate you well than football forums aren’t the place for you. Read the paper..

Great seeing him getting starts, putting in good performances and getting the monkey off his back with the first goal of the season.
He most be full of confidences ATM, hopefully Smith sees him as a regular starter until the end of the season and he gets a few more goals. It would be great to have a few of our forward options fully fit, playing regularly and in good form come June. Norwich have fellow relegation battlers Watford next on Friday, big match for them. Any word on Omobamidele return from his back injury?

Honestly lads, knowing our luck he will get an injury just as he is starting to make real progress.

I think this makes for good viewing. Every touch from Idah against Everton. Some heavy touches at the beginning but there are some nice turns, dribbles, passes and runs in there. Some instances of him winning throws and corners which gain territory for Norwich. It does seem as though Smith has found a role which gets the best out of Adam in that he's nominally playing striker as part of a front two but he's allowed to get very wide and even get a little deeper to find pockets of space to win ball and get Norwich up the pitch. Now and again, he puts in a performance or does a few things in a game which make me very optimistic about his ceiling. This Everton game and the Portugal game are the two examples which come to mind. I don't know how far he will get in the game and the two examples come months and months apart which implies there are significant troughs and infrequent peaks in his performances. But he was good against West Ham too so hopefully he can build on this momentum. Watford on Friday night is a good opportunity for him. They have a big lad, Samir, that they have just signed playing centre half so let's see how he fares against him.

yes the challenge with Idah will be to keep putting good performances back to back. That's not going to be too easy. He has the benefit at the moment of Premiership defenders not knowing much about him but that will change soon enough and he'll have to deal with defenders who have a plan on how to cope with him, and stop him playing.

Apologies for posting a Sun link, but there's an interesting article from Neil O'Riordan about the mispronunciations of Irish, and now African, surnames, spinning off from Lineker's joke on MOTD.

Il slightly defend the lad and say he's had very very few starts between the Portugal game and the West Ham/Everton games which he played well in. Hopefully Smith gives him a proper run now at least the next 4/5 games.a Long odds on they go down which will suit our two boys. Norwich will likely go back up again with the firepower they have up top for Championship level (Pukki Sargent Rashica Sargeant Tzolis)and Idah will hopefully start at least 30 matches for them next year. He's a fair amount of potential and generally target men like Idah tend to be slow burners that get better with age/experience.

Agreed, he's only getting a run of starts now for the 1st time in his career. Really hope Saturday was the turning point for Idah, he was everywhere. It would be great to see him notch another 3 or 4 goals before the end of the season, a big ask but would be huge for his confidence.

They'll learn from hearing it repeatedly on the telly - when your job as a commentator consists of 'describe what's happening on the pitch and get the players' names right' it's not too terribly much to ask to be fair.

You shouldn't have to explain to a grown adult how to pronounce something more than once. I was watching football with my girlfriend's friend's boyfriend who was Albanian. I kept pronouncing Lorik Cana's surname with a hard k like "coke" and he told me it's pronounced like "Sana". That was years ago and I retained that relatively trivial tidbit of information. If I'm working with someone, whether they're Irish, Japanese or Nigerian, I'm going to make the effort to pronounce their name correctly, lest I give the impression that I don't care enough to. I don't give a flying fig what anyone says. Omobamidele is simple to say once you hear it one time. For that matter, there's something profoundly ignorant about the mass hysteria over in the UK that makes people pronounce Doherty like Dough-erty or Dock-erty. Getting a (relatively simple) name pronounced correctly should surely be one of the fundamentals of commentary work.

Hasn't had much and did well to take the ball down beat two men and should have got a free kick out of it one of the few times he got the ball towards the end of the half. Criticism of him again is he's let Samir bully him once or twice. I was thinking get stuck into Samir here when dueling with him give away a free kick out if you need to. Lad needs to use that pyshicality throw his weight around.

They've been very poor through the middle since Sorensen went off injured, was the only one making things happen for them. As a result Idah and Pukki have had to drop deeper to try retrieve the ball and its gone very flat for them.
