cambridgeshire canary 7,800 Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) "We have too many players who are not comfortable on the ball. Sargent, McCullum, Idah. Sargent is a real conundrum for us as he cant receive the ball into feet (and Idah is even worse) which makes us lack in any fluidity in our attacking build up." "Adam Idah doing his best Ali Dia with some of his attempts on goal." "He (Idah) just isnt the answer sadly, never has been and never will be." "Unfortunately can see Idah ending up at a Walsall/Rochdale. Still an achievement any of us here would be proud of, but he just isn't very good. Very little footballing intelligence and unable to outmuscle anyone in senior football. Could he end up leading the line for the Binners?" "Couldn’t agree more. Idah hould be out on loan in league one (where if I’m honest is as high as I think he’ll ever play away from us)" And you see people this is why you don't commet about players before the match ends. Such negativity about someone who would then score a good goal. Tut tut 😉 Edited December 30, 2022 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulfotto 800 Posted December 30, 2022 There was another thread about him after the Luton game which was even worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrdi 411 Posted December 30, 2022 CC; I’ll readily admit to being critical of him. I also loved the role he played in those games last season against West Ham & Everton.  For every battering ram performance there’ll be two ‘namby-pamby side-footed passes to their keeper/the stand behind the goal’ type of performances.  Like everyone, I want the lad to come good. But it’s clear that had he not been homegrown, he’d be taking pelters like Sinani or Hugill have of late.  Fair play to him, he took that chance beautifully just now. But he’s a pro footballer, it’s no more than should be expected. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 686 Posted December 30, 2022 This same exact thing happened last time he scored vs Everton - lots of 'I told you so's, everyone losing their mind saying how brilliant he is, only for yet another loss of form, or, more accurately, another extended vacation to the treatment room.

TheGunnShow 7,377 Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) He needs a prolonged spell as a starter. Most importantly, he needs to stay the bar-stard funk off the treatment table. There is a player in there, but if his body's too fragile, it's a moot point. Edited December 30, 2022 by TheGunnShow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rock bus 1,060 Posted December 30, 2022 Glad he scored but stick by my comment that I think he is league one quality only. I’d obviously love him to prove me wrong (but one goal doesn’t do that!) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 10,767 Posted December 30, 2022 Needs to stay fit. Whenever he gets fit and gets a start he looks a handful. Even out of position tonight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely, good all round performance tonight, very pleased for him. If we can get him and keep him 100% he is going to have a big positive influence on the rest of the season imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,624 Posted December 30, 2022 I've never given up on him. He has the raw potential and physical qualities, but he's 22 in February and has amassed something like 1,700 minutes of senior club football in his career, which is hardly anything. His problem is that for four years now, he's been good enough to keep around in the squad but not good enough for regular minutes, so he hasn't had a run in the team here or a loan spell elsewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big O 287 Posted December 30, 2022 I still maintain that neither Sargent or Idah are great at receiving the ball to feet, rather both are number 9’s. Idah took his goal really well but I can’t be the only one that thinks he looks a bit lost out on the left flank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted December 30, 2022 So if he had missed 4 open goals but scored one you have to wait until the 93rd minute to comment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fans are very quick to judge and notorious for getting it hideously wrong. Enough managers have clearly seen enough in Idah for him to still be around the first team.

Even out of position tonight. I'd like to see two attack setups, one with Teemu upfront and Idah in his shadow (how it was before Idah got injured) and another with Sargent upfront and Idah on the wing - call it plan A and plan B. Adam is better on the wing than Josh, and as good as our Finn is, our needs and styles of play available don't match as well to what he can provide for us. He needs close support from someone that can create space for him. In a perfect world Teemu would be a very astute and dangerous 10/ false 9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
