Conway: Terrors back on track

04 March 2009 11:06
United secured only their second Scottish Premier League victory of 2009 when Conway's 27th-minute goal earned them a 1-0 triumph. Conway forced a good save from Dani Mallo and created several other chances as he impressed on his recall to the starting line-up. He believes United can now prove they will not miss Willo Flood too much. The midfielder moved to Celtic just after influential anchor man Scott Robertson picked up a serious groin injury. United struggled to pick up points in a stuttering run that continued with a 1-0 defeat by Hearts on Saturday. But Conway feels they can now challenge for third spot after moving two points behind Hearts, 24 hours before Motherwell visit Tynecastle. Conway said: "Obviously when you lose Willo and Robbo, they have been such big players for us this season, it's bound to affect you eventually. "But we've done really well to win at Falkirk and I think even on Saturday we played well. "Robbo will be back soon and we have other players who have not had a chance yet, we've got a good squad. "Hopefully we have had our wee dip in form and we can go on another run." Conway made the most of his recall and he is eager to make sure he remains on top of his game. The 23-year-old said: "I did have a wee dip in form but hopefully that's me past it. "But that's something I need to work on, you can't go through every season having a dip in form." Conway expertly slotted home the penalty after Thomas Scobbie had blatantly handled Paul Dixon's deep cross towards the winger. Conway took the initiative to the frustration of striker Francisco Sandaza, who missed a late spot-kick against Hearts. "It was going right in the top corner, I was just about to strike it sweetly," Conway joked. "Nobody was getting the penalty off me when the ball fell at me. He (Sandaza) had the cheek to ask for it but it fell right at me so I wasn't giving it up."
