Idah , looks slow and clueless 16:09 - Sep 27 with 3619 viewsWales

Hope I am wrong but so far this guy looks garbage.

All well and good scoring a few in the jock pub league but today he was slow and looked totally out of his depth when he came on , even getting in the way of Vipotnik who was about the smash it goal bound.

When he was put through clean on goal he was slow and non committed, also reacted like a snail at the end when it came back off the keeper, then ball placed perfectly on his head to nut it miles over.

His record at Norwich was 8 goals in 100 games, that hardly inspires confidence, it was a bit better playing in the pub league but when your squad costs 10 times the amount of virtually all the others thats not hard.

£6 million wasted I am afraid. I doubt if the dud gets us 10 league goals this season.

Far too early to say that definitively but if we go on what we’ve seen so far then there are worrying signs.

Give him time and support and let’s see how he develops.

I did mention that he was average when at Norwich, i was hoping that he would be a bit sharper than he has been.

Im going to give him time though.

All I can say in his favour so far, is it’s early days and he doesn’t look match sharp.

Underwhelming so far and it’s hard to see where he’s going to get the minutes under his belt if he keeps flattering to deceive and Vipotnik keeps playing well.

Was it a goal though? I thought he kicked it out of Bendas hands, but my mate watching a stream thinks Benda didn’t have it under control

The Celtic forums at the time of the transfer, they were not keen to keep him.
There were comments from Norwich fans saying he was poor.
Time will tell but at the moment those fans appear to be right.

I just wonder if there is any truth in the rumour that Montague didn't want to sign him.

CRAZY comments to make based on his short time with us. Give the lad a chance. We spent 1 years doing it with VP and look how that turned out. People need to chill.

We didn't spend anywhere near as much for vip.

For what we have paid for idah he should be better.

He didn’t want Galbraith, I’ve heard that from a few different sources that would know. Also didn’t want a few other signings, Stamenic being one of them. He negotiated the Idah deal so doubt that is one of the ones he didn’t want as Gorringe apparently had to step in on a few.

If Idah is not up to speed them why play him, let him integrate into the squad during the training sessions. We have the likes of Widell who had started to look sharper amd up to speed and now we are not using him, Eom and Cullen got us up the pitch against Forest making a difference, I know it is early days for him but so has it been for others, We want players up top with guile and movement to open teams up we seem to be relying on the likes off Tymon and Key to provide that but that leaves us so exposed at times at the back.
Bringing on the extra attacker would seem to be a good idea but at the moment Idah is not ready.
Vipotnik also now seems to link up well with Ronald who will be disappointed to put his chance over the bar, right place right time I had called to give Benson a chance but Ronald was playing ok but Sheehan really needs to look at the partnership of Key and Ronald because it really slows the play down on the right, Key taking far too many touches on the ball,getting caught on the ball far too often also resulting in the safe momentum killing back passes.

Personally I think we need to play Idah to get him up to speed, if its there. Training only won't get you "up to speed" and match sharp. He hasn’t been brought in for the u21s and he won't get Championship match sharp there.

Fine line with all our players when integrating into a team.
I was happy to persist with our other players. Vipotnik now seems to need good movement around him with us getting balls into feet, at the moment has Idah got that good movement, Sheehan needs to be a bit more patient with his existing players, he will get people complaining but our moment on the pitch has been improving without Idah's presence, his time will come but I was willing to wait a little longer for our other players who had seemingly got up to Championship speed in the new team we have this season.

I certainly don't think he had it under control the ball was away from his hands and then he put his hands on his head as if I'd hed been caught so of course the ref disallowed it then

His finishing was atrocious yesterday but he was getting on the end of a lot of chances which we don’t usually see with a Swansea striker. If he keeps doing that and gets a bit sharper he’ll be a real handful.

Agreed, the ref got plenty of decisions wrong yesterday but that wasn't one of them.
Slow start from Idah but way too early to write him off

It could be he’s nervous and trying a bit too hard? I wont write him off until he’s had a good enough period of time. With strikers you never know - one shinner in off the post and they can go on a proper goal scoring run. And it’s not like we don’t have a striker who is almost goal per game so we have the luxury of time with Idah.

Did he have anything that could be deemed a finishable chance? Not sure that he did.

Can't say that I've been impressed with what I've seen so far. Vip had more about him even during his struggles last season, but it is early days. Like all strikers he probably needs a run of games to build his confidence, a run that he's just not going to have given how well Vipi is currently playing.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

My opinion on Vipotnik and Idah. Vipotnik needs the ball played to his feet, whilst Idah needs the ball in the air preferably from wide left because he drifts right. It was interesting yesterday with both on the pitch together, Vipotnik dropped deeper while Idah played further forward, I would have played them the other way round if anything.
