Nigel Pearson has praised the reaction from Tommy Conway after the academy striker grabbed his 11th goal of the season to put him level-pegging with Nahki Wells in the race for the golden boot in City's 2-1 victory over Rotherham.
After the City manager criticised his impact from the bench against Sheffield United, alongside Alex Scott and Mark Sykes, the 20-year-old superbly headed the hosts in front when he latched onto Cam Pring's cross after 15 minutes.
The Robins should have been home and dry after 45 minutes with Harry Cornick spurning a glorious chance from three yards before Conway was denied a penalty from referee Josh Smith under the challenge of Cameron Humphreys.
