    Not a popular decision going by Twitter anyway.

    Agree on Idah alright

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

    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.

    Starting today against Spurs, as is Idah. Huge opportunity for them both. Idah had a decent impact against Newcastle when he came on the last day.

    Just going on the Fantasy Premier League stats, Omobomidele is Norwich's best player in the first half

    Some highlights here. Arguably, Andy could do better for two of the goals, in terms of closing down and being sold a dummy. Great play by Idah setting up the first Pukki chance, but unfortunately missed a good one himself later (came at him unexpectedly but it's the type of chance he needs to score)

    Not sure if posted but looks like he’s going to miss the holiday period with a back injury. Too bad:

    Rumour Chelsea are in for him circa £20m.

    I'd not be surprised at all. I felt Lverpool was a good fit for him.

    Rumour was started by a Twitter account with about 30 followers then picked up by the Irish propaganda account.
    It's doubtful, to say the least

    Not good news for Omobamidele whose suffered a set back in injury. From the article:

    "Andrew has suffered a setback with his injury. We're hoping it's nothing too serious but we've sent him to see a consultant to check."

    A great shame; he's such a talent. Hopefully back soon.

    New Norwich contract: 4 more years, as the Americans chant.

    You can't spell failure without FAI

    He's back running on grass so should be fit to go for pre season, unfortunately Idah could miss the pre season.

    Idah is really working overtime to try destroy any momentum he created before his injury, good lad.

    Yeah shame on Idah for having the audacity of getting another long term injury.

    90 minutes today at home to Wigan (and also last week) - his first game time since last December. Good to see.

    No sign of Idah yet - and also I see just seven subs named by each team. Is that a new rule for this season? But Premier League sides have nine subs (which I think is too many)
     
  19. JR89 said:
    EFL are allowing teams make five subs this season.

    Just looking at a random game last season and it seems they only had 7 on the bench in the Championship last season, so nothing's actually changed.
