CRAIG Conway has vowed to start next season in the same impressive manner in which he is finishing the current campaign.

The hard-working winger will be looking to continue his fantastic form today when Rovers cross the Pennines to take on Huddersfield Town (3pm).

Conway, who has set up four goals in the last three games, believes he is now playing as well as he did at the back end of last season.

The 29-year-old, man of the match in Tuesday’s 2-0 home win over Millwall, was unable to carry those performances over into the start of this season.

But he is determined to do just that once the 2015/16 campaign, which will be Rovers’ fourth in the Championship after missing out on the play-offs, gets under way on August 8.

“I’m feeling really good,” said Conway, who for the second season running leads Rovers’ assists charts.

“I’ve said many times that when the strikers are scoring goals it makes it easier for me just to put the ball in there and they’ll finish it off.

“But I must admit I’m feeling really good at the minute and to be fair that’s been the case for the last few months.

“Now I just want to build on that in these final two games and then hopefully keep doing that next year and start fast out of the blocks, both personally and as a team.

“I’ve think we shown at times this season we can be a really good team but in this league it’s just about being consistent and we’ve got to try to put it together a bit more.

“But there are a lot of young lads here and hopefully another year’s experience will do them good.”

Conway, at 29, was Rovers’ oldest outfield player on the pitch at the end of the Millwall match.

And afterwards his manager, Gary Bowyer, praised the Scotland international for his growing leadership qualities.

“It’s probably something I’ve never been in my career before – one of the more experienced lads – but that’s something that I am now,” said Conway, a Championship winner with Cardiff City before his £100,000 switch to Rovers in January 2014.

“But I don’t mind that at all, I’m experienced enough and I know what this league’s like.

“Hopefully I can pass on a wee bit of knowledge to help the younger lads along.”

At the opposite end of the age spectrum to Conway on Tuesday night was 21-year-old Darragh Lenihan, who came on for his debut after stand-in skipper Matt Kilgallon came off with a thigh injury.

“I was delighted for young Darragh when he came on,” said Conway.

“It was a tough situation and he won his headers and thought he was brilliant.

“He’s a strong lad and he deserves all the plaudits he gets.”

Lenihan was congratulated by his team-mates after returning to the dressing room.

And his centre-back partner, Tommy Spurr, was certainly impressed.

“Darragh has gone away on loan and come back and showed in training he’s ready to play,” said Spurr.

“I had no qualms about him coming on and playing alongside me because he’s shown he’s good enough to play for the first team and I thought he was outstanding.”

It was Rovers’ second clean sheet in four matches, the 0-0 draw at Reading being followed by 2-2 and 3-3 draws away to Birmingham City and at home to Nottingham Forest respectively.

“We were pleased with our draw at Reading, because it came on the back of the FA Cup against Liverpool, but then you look at the next two games and we’ve dropped four points basically,” said Spurr.

“But on Tuesday we’ve managed to go in front, kick on and managed to hold on to the lead, which is a big positive for us.”
