His biggest failing is his positional sense

Never or very rarely in the right place, no anticipation for where the ball will be like you’d see with Pukki.
I want him to come good but he looks so badly out of confidence I’m not sure continuing to play him is beneficial for either party.
He’s also not brave enough - Ricky Van Wolfswinkel looked like Terry Butcher going up for headers in comparison to Idah - and that’s saying something!!
I’ve felt for a while he is not Championship standard, the 5 year deal is clearly with an eye to him possibly coming good and getting a transfer fee.

Idah pile-on is unfair given he was played out of position the last two games (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Mar 13, 12:47:56

  - If he comes good enough to get a transfer fee that justified the 5 year contract (NCFC) - Bertie Russell, Mar 13, 13:54:07
    - The alternative though is signing a hugil / drmic type (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 13, 14:35:04

  - The 5 year contract is meaningless. (NCFC) - usacanary, Mar 13, 15:42:05
    - That would still be a guaranteed £2.5 million. Does that not take away some of the hunger (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 13, 18:51:57
  - we can't be expecting him to be here for 5 yrs though? (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 13, 13:20:48
    - yep, and if he works out his contract is ripped up and new improved one is put in place. (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Mar 13, 15:43:27

        I would of thought he wouldn't commit to 5 years without some sign he will play more (NCFC) - Gazzaman, Mar 13, 15:10:03
        
        I don't think there would ever be a promise (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 13, 15:33:09
  - Agree - he's had less leeway because of the expectations that sets (NCFC) - camcan, Mar 13, 13:13:03
- Yesterday I was somewhat frustrated by his jogging around and lack of urgency (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Mar 13, 13:06:12
  - Just think if Pukki isn't scoring regularly he doesn't bring much to the side (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Mar 13, 13:20:53
