Top assister in the Championship last season

Thu May 15, 2014 3:27 pm

Craig Conway, for Brighton and Blackburn, with 17, also contributed 5 goals.

Was he better than what we had on the wings at times this season, or simply not good enough for the Premier League?

I always thought his crossing was quality, but often struggled to beat his man and played it simple too much, maybe due to a lack of confidence. Any thoughts?

Gives away possession cheaply, He was OOC anyway so we had to let him go.

Treated like garbage by Malky.

He had no pace which is imperative for any winger in the Premier League.

Beckham didn't have pace

Have you really just compared Conway to Beckham?

He would of done well in the prem, as good as any of those sunderland mugs that dug deep in midfield above their heads

So what? Is that a comparison you are really going to make?

Let's remember Malky picked Smith over him in the 25 man squad due to a personal issue which had no problem with what he done on the pitch.

I wouldn't have said no to him being in the squad due to the lack of wingers we had in the squad and looking at our squad.

You made a comment about premier league wingers needing pace, I was just pointing out that Beckham didn't have any but was a good pl winger

if Conway was in our team our left backs wouldn't of struggled as much because Conway can track back and help out his defenders, our wingers in zaha and noone couldn't, the myth of wingers needing pace in the premier league is laughable
