Blackburn Rovers, Nottingham Forest, Brentford, Charlton Athletic and Derby County players feature…



Henri Lansbury is one of the best players on the books of Nottingham Forest at the moment, and he has been playing well this season.

Forest are not doing exactly great in the Championship at the moment, but midfielder Lansbury is striving to make things happen.

As the Opta Stats table below shows, the former Arsenal prospect has created as many 34 chances in nine Championship appearances for the Reds so far this season.

Lansbury struggled to make it at North London outfit Arsenal, but he seems to be doing just fine in the Championship.

Tom Ince also failed to make it at a big Premier League club (Liverpool), but he is a rejuvenated player in the second tier of English football.

The 23-year-old attacker has been one of Derby County’s best players this campaign, having joined them from Championship rivals Hull City in the summer transfer window.

The former Liverpool and Blackpool prospect has created as many as 29 chances in nine league games, as Derby continue to push for a top-two finish in the Championship this campaign.

Leading the table for the most creative players in the Championship this season is Blackburn Rovers’ Craig Conway.

The 30-year-old former Cardiff City winger has created an astonishing 45 chances in 10 league matches for Rovers.

Alan Judge of Brentford is third in the table (31 chances created), with Charlton Athletic’s Johann Berg Gudmundsson just two places behind him in fifth (29 chances created).
