I really hope Conway gets a chance and he has done about as well as he can. But there's also no way we're going into the season with our only specialist a still unproven if promising kid.

We basically want Jack Iredale. Primarily a LB but versatile. Good egg. Can push Max but not smother him.
Unproven until given a chance. Now look if Schumacher thinks he’s not up to it then fine. But in which case we should have released him in the summer.

For me if he’s here he should get first go at left back. Otherwise basically you have no pathway as a younger player here. He’s done the loan the level below and excelled. What more can he do?

As for Iredale yep a player like that is ideal. We again never replaced him and he’s a better player I think than we have had since.
Why would we have released him when we had the extension option? At the very worst we should now at least be able to get a decentish fee for him.

Why would you extend the contract of a player you don’t think is good enough? They aren’t going to attract much of a fee.

It’s a business if young players are here they need to be here with a view to them making the first team grade. That may be via different paths but Conway surely is at the now or never stage.

I don’t get why fans are so worried about playing our younger players. We’ve endured absolute unproven dross on big fees - players who have barely played this level. Why can’t Conway get a chance. He could be far better than signings we might make and let’s be honest we paid a considerable fee for Schon who is bobbins or has been thus far and has little experience. Conway should get a go imo.

I have no idea whether he's good, bad or indifferent, so it's a bit tricky to be honest. I know some folks watch the B / U21's of whatever, but I'm sure, like most managers, Schumacher will determine whether he thinks him playing is a slam dunk or an arse out of his keks risk...
