But Carlton's five years older. Adam is ahead of where he was at the same age. It's this context that makes sense of the 5 year contract. You've hit the nail on the head there nutster. Big strong strikers bully players all the way through youth and usually fallback on the easy option of their greater physical stature, it then takes them time to adjust to not being the biggest and the quickest on the pitch and it takes a fundamental mindshift to not fallback on that when things aren't going well. Hopefully this is the start of idah using the skills which give him the chance to be a real, long term, success as a footballer.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easily able to shove lesser sized youths, but being reliant on shoving in the adult game saw him given numerous yellow cards. They increased as the goals dried up. For all Idahs current short comings there's more to him than just pushing players - hopefully he can continue his development. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ernie Wise 70 Posted December 3, 2023 Many of you aren’t old enough to have seen Jim Blair or Chris Killen. Bit of perspective needed. Just lay off a player who is scoring, in limited time on the field. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His conversion rate and shots on target % is also among the highest on that table. So no he's not even close to being the worst striker to play for Norwich, not even one of the worst 100 strikers to play for us.

I agree things have been worse, but all of those players were signed under our current majority shareholders. So they have overseen the lowest of lows in my lifetime, but they were not responsible for the highest of highs. That's why I have been part of the 20% before it was fashionable. lol.

Actually Martin O’Neil brought Scott to Norwich and he was playing well. As soon as O’Neil left (thank you mr Chase) Scott was not the same. Zema Abbey looked really useful when he first signed but knee injuries ruined his career. I agree with the rest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
