Norwich City boss David Wagner praised Adam Idah following a solid start to the season that featured a goal for Ireland against the Netherlands.
Idah has never established himself as a consistent goalscorer in the Canaries lineup, but he has done well on the international scene by contributing athleticism and effective hold-up play to the Irish assault.
There was anticipation that Idah would produce the prolific finishing he displayed at junior level this season, and he started well, scoring in the season opener against Hull and then adding a goal and an assist against Huddersfield on August 26.
However, that was the last time the Corkman scored for his club, and as a result, he was dropped from the starting lineup for Wednesday’s match against Leicester City.
For once, however, fortune was on the 22-year-old’s side. Ashley Barnes, who replaced him in the Norwich team, suffered an injury in the second half, so Idah came on for the final half-hour and will most likely start for the foreseeable future.
David Wagner lauds Adam Idah.
Speaking to the media today ahead of Norwich City’s Championship meeting with Plymouth on Saturday, Canaries manager David Wagner praised Idah’s recent showing.
“You can see a step up in his confidence and performances in the last few games,” he added of the Ireland international”He made an impact against Leicester on Wednesday, and he’s done it for Ireland against the Netherlands.”
Ashley Barnes has been ruled out until after the November international break. On both counts, ouch. That’s ten matches for the#NCFC.
A devastating blow. The result is still unknown, but Adam Idah will not receive another chance like this at Norwich.
He needs to go get it.

The German then backed Idah up even more, saying, “He’s made big steps in the last six or seven weeks,” apparently impressed not only by his Norwich performances but also by his contribution to the Irish team.Chance.
