Adam Idah

Yes, he's only back after a long term injury. No point risking him for a pointless game.

Back in training for the last 3 weeks and still hasn't made a match day squad.

Thought with Norwich having promotion sown up he might get a couple of starts, but he can't even make the bench instead.

Not even a crumb of positivity re: any of our young forwards, be it Idah, Connolly, Obafemi, Parrott, Cassidy, Drinan...

Odd that you include Drinan in that list, who is not much of a prospect and never was, but not Scully, who has been banging them in all season.

He’s only back training 3 weeks. I was hoping you might see him on the bench last day of the season generally a player off that long needs a month minimum training surely? 

They do rate Idah and he’s actually been caught between that rock and a hard place of his manager rating him too highly to let him go on loan but having players like Pukki best striker in the division and Hugill a top class striker at Championship level also to compete with for one place. Idah has come off the bench before Hugill in many games this season. When Idah scored the hat trick in the Cup I think the intention was to send him out then but that spooked Farke into keeping him. 

I’d love to see Idah go on loan next season even a promotion chasing League 1 club like Peterborough or Lincoln would be a lovely spot for him although he’d play regularly for most Championship clubs without doubt. Just a full season of games for 90 minutes. I think of the current lot Scully aside who’s flying Idah is the best hope of becoming a Pukki Bamford type striker let’s say who’s a decent goalscorer. 

Only turned 20 too so he’s young plenty time will get better as he hits his mid 20s.  

Think it’s last game of season in Championship?

Despite all the nonsensical stick he has taken on this board this week I'd say his goals to minutes ratio this season will have been pretty decent. Was unlucky with the mid season injury.

As stated above here. Back in training after a long term injury it was always likely going to be a good month before he was put on the bench/back playing. I know things are sh*t at the moment but there’s no point in using that as a stick to beat 19/20 year old young players with. 

Idah missing so much will probably hurt Norwich and him next year more then this year. With 35-40 games even if most off the bench hed have gotten far more experience and could have been a huge difference next year for them. I fear he may need a loan next year considering how this year has gone.

His goals to game ratio this year is okay. 👀
