Dickinson: 'I nearly joined Rotherham United before coming to Southend'
Shrimeprs striker Liam Dickinson is hoping to show Millers manager Andy Scott what he's missing and when he wants to do that, he usually scores! Dickinson: 'I look forward to these types of games' Southend United's top scorer Liam Dickinson felt he had to show the Plymouth Argyle what he was made off and with chants of 'judas' ringing in his ears he struck home a fine second half spot kick. And after nearly moving to South Yorkshire in the summer he will not only be trying to score for the fourth game in a row for the first time in his career, he'll be hoping to put one over another team that didn't secure his signature! Dickinson told www.echo-news.co.uk: “It would be nice to keep my run going, especially against Rotherham because I nearly joined them before coming to Southend. I trained with them and we opened talks but then their manager had a last minute feeling that I wasn’t the signing for him. That means I will be fired up for Saturday and, just like last week, I feel I’ve got a point to prove again.” Dickio though knows that individual targets aside the team as a whole will have to work hard to leave the Don Valley Satdium Sheffield, where Rotherham are playing their home games at the moment, with a win that will cement their rise in to the play-off zone. Dickinson said: “I look forward to these types of games as it is a chance for us to prove we’re as good as these sides, if not better. I think we’re definitely capable of picking up the points because we have good players in our squad. But we will have to play well to win.” Best of luck to Liam and the lads.
