It would be great to see, and fortunately, qualification for the next major tournament doesn’t start for a while yet.
The problem is though, the longer it takes for these young forwards to progress their club career, the more I might question continuing to play them internationally, on the assumption that it will stand to them, and one day they will click. The reality is, there is currently as much reason to leave the 21s and call up Long, Collins, Hogan and Maguire. None of these lads are particularly prolific, but play regularly enough, and chip in with goals here and there.

I believe he needs to drop a level and get regular game time. He has been q but woeful in front of goal, snatching at things. He has other good attributes though.
Championship or even a stint in L1 to get a proper run of games and ideally more target practice on match day I think would do him a better service than another half season on the fringes

He played very little in the Championship the last time too, it will be no different next time. Apart from Portugal, all the sides he played against were quite mediocre too. |

But he is not been thrown in for minutes here and there since Smith has came the vast majority of time when he has appeared for smith he comes in for at least 20 minutes he has also started 2 games and completed the 90 minutes on one of those occasions. If Smith didn’t fancy him he would have him shipped out simple as he that.

Ridiculous, he's far too good to be playing in League 1. He should be looking at a decent continental team where he'll actually get chances. Alternatively, he can just sit it out and wait for Norwich to get relegated.

Lots of stupid stats about games he was involved in. I would say that 5 mins at the end of games is nearly detrimental to his development. He ends up trying to do special things straight away to make an impact when he should just concentrate on doing the right thing.
I think he has a big future but he definitely needs 70 mins plus per week. League 1 would do him no harm because he would need to learn to use his frame better. Big strong lad but doesn't use it as well as he could. Regular game time might improve his touch. Or a chat with Big Niall. I remember Quinns touch when he was with Arsenal ...... mother of god! Compare that to when he was with City. Like 2 different players. He needs to take his career by the horns. Talk to the manager, see how much he is in his plans for next few months and make a decision. It is the same attribute he needs to learn on the pitch ....drive. Don't let things drift.

Mate, you're missing the point. It doesn't matter that Smith is playing him a bit more than Farke was. Idah could start every game for Norwich for the rest of the season but not get much out of it because he's not playing attacking football. Norwich, in 19 games have scored 8 & conceded 42. Their xG is 0.95. They're getting battered. That is not somewhere a young striker is going to develop no matter how many minutes you give him.
It's not about being too good for League 1. It's about getting a move to a team that will cover what he needs for his development short term: 1. Getting regular 90 minutes. 2. Playing a solid amount of attacking football where he can score goals. [Look at Bazunu, Ogbene, McClean, even Parrott. All have been far more use to Ireland while playing in L1 than Idah has been while getting minutes off the bench in the PL] Mid-season moves can be tricky. I think Idah has shown he can be handy at a top Championship club, he got 3 goals & 1 assist in 325minutes (less than 4 full games) for Norwich last season. So if a Huddersfield, or Middlesbrough, or Forest were to guarantee him the consistent starts, then great, I think he could handle that. But realistically those clubs are probably looking for more experienced options & if he didn't hit the ground running he'd be back on the bench. If the only Championship options are the Barnsleys & Peterboroughs, forget it. In League 1 his odds of getting consistent starts at a club playing plenty attacking football would be much higher, and as I said, right now that's the most important thing for him right now: -Regular starts, playing attacking football, scoring goals. The level he does that at for the rest of the season just doesn't matter. |

Starts with Pukki, so likely out wide.
Not sure he's great out there but at least it's a start. |

You'd assume Rashica and Placheta would be the wide players so looks like it could be 442. Would be interesting to see how Idah links up with Pukki instead of being isolated like he usually is, that's if Norwich can actually get the ball to them

Cheers lads.
Assumed 4-3-3 or a variant, but two up top is far more interesting from our perspective. |

That's his 5th start for Norwich in the 2 years since he started against United.

More assured and confident tonight. Let's hope he can have a goal involvement to settle him.
