Not a popular decision going by Twitter anyway.

Agree on Idah alright

I would not fancy Gibson and Hanley against that Southampton press.

One of them got a goal an all to quieten me.

Returns to bench today, as Dean Smith not surprisingly errs on the side of experience. Idah also on the bench. Let’s see how the next few games go. Idah for sure needs to push for a loan January if still getting no meaningful game time

I agree. It could prove a difficult situation for both Irishmen. Smith wasn't noted for giving youth a fling at Villa and is unlikely to change tack in Norwich's fight for survival.

As for Idah, Smith had a similarly promising youngster in Keinan Davis at Villa who was mostly confined to short cameos and cup games. He also wasted £33 million on flops Wesley and Samatta before signing Ollie Watkins.

Having said that, there's no cash-cow at Norwich - so Smith might see a dividend in playing Idah. But I doubt it - Idah doesn't strike me as relegation dogfight material.
