Liam Dickinson

[shrimperslad]

Played today for the first time in 16 months and scored 2 for Port Vale

I didn't know Dickinson was with Port Vale. Has he been signed or is he with them for fitness etcetera?

 

[southend-mad.94]

Happy for him! When he first broke his ankle you wouldn't have thought he would have such a lay off!

id happily take him back here! But he is a good earner apparently!

First half hat trick for Dicko as well as Tomlin netting for Port vale, both lining upfront together for the first half. What a pairing that could be

On trial I think, he was close to signing for them last season before further set backs with his injury.

I still think we could get Liam Dickinson if Phil Brown offered him a two year deal.

Lot of competition there though. Tom Pope around 30 last season and isn't Lee Hughes there as well?

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Interesting to see how Tom Pope gets on this season. He was excellent for the Valiants last year ...... but I think his goal scoring record prior to that was quite poor. Was it a one off year or can he repeat it in a division higher?

And Gavin Tomlin as well

Wasn't he one of the bad influences in the club?

 

[mattytheshrimper]

Would definitely snap him up!

I can see it happening but at the same time I wouldn't be disappointed if it did.

I think it was him, Hall and Ferdinand that were involved in breaking a curfew when travelling to an away game. Not 100% sure on that though.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I'd have him back, he had his critics here, harshly imo but the guy could put the ball in the net. In hindsight we were right not to offer him a new deal as he's been out for 16 months so we'd have had another Barry Corr on our hands. I wonder if he is a name on Brown's radar.

 

[BARNETBLUE]

I wouldn't sign him....One of the worst frontmen I've seen at SUFC IMO

10 goals in 28 games would indicate he is far from being that.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

I wouldn't complain much if we signed him but I don't think he's the type of striker we need. Corr is a better targetman and Seedy Njie also seems to be in that mould - he's big, anyway. We need a more pacey, mobile striker to replace Tomlin and Britt. I always thought Dicko was a bit lazy, too, and quite a few of his goals were penalties IIRC.

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

The football we played that season didn't suit him. Although he was big, he just didn't play like a target man. He was "good with his feet for a big guy" and we didn't use this for some reason. I'd have him back if the chance arose.

Agreed. Would rather we look at a striker similar to Tomlin and Assombalonga.
