Conway should be starting every game ahead of a 33 year old Nahki Wells who has scored 1 goal since September. That run he did last night was lovely but he'd done the hard part and just had to tuck it home but scooped it so high it hit the point of post and bar.

His should be starting - 1st half last few games chances have fallen for Wells that Tommy puts away, usually time he gets on the service/opportunities are drying up. Rightly would be pissed especially as he’s a fan - probably spending his days off visiting places like Glasgow, Bournemouth etc scoping where he’s living next season. It won’t be here.

W-S-M Seagull Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Where has this sudden idea come from that Conway isn't very good at pressing? That was one of his main strengths until Manning coached it out of him.

We don’t have legs in the midfield but we waste probably the fittest player in the squad in a pressing role up top.

RollsRoyce Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I just think that is how Tommy is a bit like that, but he looked happy when he scored against WHU.

Edgy Red Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I've still got some reservations about Tommy's all round game but there is no doubt that his finish last night was pure quality. I think he will leave in the summer, but goals like the one last night should keep a lot of clubs interested in him and may add a few quid to the fee.

Slack Bladder Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Watching Tommy's goal last night, it reminded me more of a counter attack of old Longish ball up the wing and a quick cross into the box from the byline.

If LM wanted to change the style of play then that’s fine, but if the squad he inherited isn’t up to that and can’t perform to the required level then you have to play to the teams strengths whilst trying to implement your new ideas gradually. you then find out who’s up to it and who’s not and you can recruit accordingly. Hopefully that would have meant that we’d have seen a smoother transition in style with better results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you've mentioned Manning, it's clear he's not found a way to use Conway effectively and that's a really big issue right now, one of several piling up. But it's also not related to the contents of my post. Stop looking into agendas that aren't there and focus on the post, I wish I was subtle enough to infer and put things between the lines but I'm really not. Take a deep breath and read my reply again, I didn't say you had mentioned Manning As I said its very possible if there's anything impacting him it could be outside of football? Another thing, he's just been called up to Scotland U21s, maybe he's disappointed he thought he'd be in the full squad and he's already been told he's not going to be promoted?
