    Let's be honest, he's now had a run of games and has contributed little. Had a good chance early in the game and jumped out of it. Very poor.

    Big price tag and very few goal returns.

    What we're seeing from Idah this season is exactly what we saw from him last year minus a few penalties and tap ins. He had one great game last season vs Kilmarnock, that was it.

    I was never keen on his return, would have paid no more than £5m for him. He's bang average.

    Not gonna completely write him off.

    But seen more than enough to know he was not worth the £9m.

    Not a chance.

    Absolutely rinsed by * Norwich, because we showed our hand too soon and had * all backup plan for when Norwich would demand more. And Norwich knew that.

    That's as much a poor view of the recruitment angle as it is of idah himself.

    Kyogo looks way better out of position than Idah does in his natural one. Different game today if we had even a half decent striker in the middle.

    He's had his run of games now, and he hasn't done much.

    I still think we struggle to properly feed whoever leads the line, but he isn't doing much outside of that, almost a man down.

    Back on the bench for a few, a bit like Engels earlier in the season, continually playing him won't help currently.

    He's weak as *. Mentally and physically. Offers nothing.

    I can accept effort with not getting the breaks. I can't accept * it out of a 50/50 where you might get a goal or a penalty.

    Looks devoid of all confidence. Take him out of the team, kyogo through the middle and give kenny a go.

    He's just a total passenger it's all fun and games when we are 16 points clear , give him more time etc etc, but if we want to actually progress and get to the next level we need better. He's just not very good at anything I can't believe anyone can defend it .

    Don’t care about the argument that “£9m doesn’t get you much these days”.

    It * does if your recruitment and scouting team is competent. It got us Kyogo and Maeda for less.

    Norwich absolutely shafted us and we were thick enough to pay it.

    He may well go on to prove me and many others wrong. I hope he does. But for the money we spent, he’s been absolutely pish so far.

    If he was a 19 year old from the B team we would all be saying that he isn't up to being a first team player and we'd be hoping to strengthen in the transfer window. I'd play Kenny over him at the moment.

    He was bad and should have scored. However to offer him an olive branch, Kyogo also disappeared when he moved up top. Our system doesn't appear to serving our strikers.

    He is clumsy on the ball. Expected more from him so far.
