    Another late sub appearance - hopefully a sign that Farke will give him some more time in the league run-in and the cup so that we can seriously think about him as an option in The Nations League

    you'd have to give him credit, he's one of the most two footed finishers we have produced in recent years. right footed but he scores plenty with his left.

    Glad Norwich will get relegated as they won't hold on to Pukki and Idah will get more game time in Championship. Thought Obafemi was disappointing tonight, perhaps a lack of match sharpness.
    Folding my way into the big money!!!

    Came on for ten minutes in Norwich's defeat to Everton and really put himself about - forced Coleman into conceding a throw before holding the ball up well in the corner to force another throw; made a charge into the box before being dispossessed; created a chance for himself on the edge of the box - chested a cross down before spinning and shooting on the turn, only for it to be deflected for a corner. I'm beginning to get a feeling that Idah is on the verge of a big breakthrough - he just needs Farke to give him more time against one of the bottom-half teams, rather than giving Drmic yet another chance.

    Did very well vs Coleman for throw but probably could have down and won free kick...

    The run where he was disposed was unfortunate. He cut inside to pass to a player who had just pulled up injured. So then he had to turn back and run down a head end.

    Decent shot from nothing too...

    Simmering nicely...

    Connolly, Idah and Obafemi have done well now in their appearances thus far. The break them no harm. In fact, it seems to have been a nice reset opportunity for Connolly and Idah from a mental and confidence perspective. And we have heard Obafemi's professionalism questioned by himself and his manager previously but he hasn't come back in bad old shape either.

    Continued to be pleasantly surprised by how he is developing. Solid half of football today. One nice shot and plenty of nice layoffs. Feeding off scraps. Looks physically stronger than he did a few months ago as well. Pukki and Drmic have been terrible since re-start. You have to fancy his chances of playing a significant part in the final 6 games. 7 points from safety with 6 games left for Norwich.

    I am hoping Norwich, West Ham and Bournemouth get relegated. This will give Idah, Kilkenny, Travers (Boruc gone and Ramsdale will be sold), and Coventry (Rice will be sold, Sanchez already gone) excellent opportunities to establish themselves in the Championship. Omobamidele will be 19 next year, gotta fancy his chances in getting into that Norwich defense in the Championship if he continues to develop positively

    Saw Connolly play yesterday, similarly feeding off scraps but did well, won a few frees, got probably the best shot against De Gea of the match and a few nice dummies. Overall did well in difficult circumstances...

    Wouldn't mind Watford going down instead of Bournemouth, not sure Ramsdale would be sold anyway. He's got plenty of potential but it's not like he's so good that he'd instantly walk into many Premier League team's first 11. Like for example, I'd take Randolph over him, who is currently West Ham's no. 2.

    Yeah, I tuned in for the second half and he almost made the perfect start after coming on - didn't really put a foot wrong with what little possession he had after that - holding the ball up well, fast turns, tidy passes - he really is starting to look like the full package. I think Farke has made a big mistake by not being brave enough to give him significant game time earlier in the campaign against lower-placed teams. Oh well, hopefully his outing against Preston in the Cup is be a sign of things to come next season.

    With a report on how precarious the Hammers' financial situation is (https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/53215371) relegation might mean a wholesale sell-off of senior players and might open the door early for Odubeko. However, they just beat Chelsea, which puts them three clear of the drop

    I'm getting annoyed by Idah's teammates. In the recent game at Chelsea, he came on in the second-half, with Norwich 1-0 down and needing goals to stay in the Premier League. Soon after, he was fouled just inside Chelsea's half and went to the penalty are to wait for the free. The player taking the free knocked it back to a player at the half-way line, who played it to a player well inside the Norwich half, who played it back to Krul. A few minutes later Idah won a throw across from the Chelsea penalty area and went to the box to await a cross. The Norwich player threw it back fifteen yards and three passes later it was back with Krul.

    Now you'd think that today, Farke would give Idah a start, now that survival is impossible. But no, he gives Drmic yet another shot. The result? First Buendia and then freakin' Drimic get sent off so that Norwich can now no longer afford to have a striker at all and by the time Farke sends Idah on with five minutes to go, Norwich are two men and two goals down and there's nothing he can do.

    It's good that Farke is giving Idah minutes but clearly it's now time to give him minutes that matter - I've said it before: I think this lad could be the complete package and could be on the verge of breaking out in a big way if given a proper chance - I hope he tears it up in The Championship next season

    This Drmic fella hasn't reached double figures in a season in 6 or 7 years and is being preferred to Idah and contributing nothing and getting sent off. I would have been hoping Idah was given starting opportunities now that they are relegated or even prior to that. But Farke has a decent record in bringing through young players at Norwich so it is difficult to point that finger at him like we did earlier in the season at Mourinho in relation to Parrott.

    As you say, hopefully he rips it up in the Championship. His rate of progression and the condensed off-season will hopefully suit a young lad like him. It may also work in his favour that he won't be facing intimating away crowds in the first few Championship games.

    Think it was a backpass intercepted and squared to him for a handy goal but as a wise man said, the score board or score sheet doesn't tell stories.

    Suicidal. A tap-in, but a great boost for Idah.

    Recent games suggest Kenny considers him his best option at centre-forward, and In Norwich's 4-2-3-1 I can't see him starting ahead of Pukki and Hugill in that role too many times this term, though getting games in a wide position may be achievable.

    He showed some determination and pace to make the ground up to be in a position to score. Well done.
