Dickinson told www.echo-news.co.uk: “I trained with Plymouth before coming down to Southend and want to prove to their players and fans that I made the right decision. It’s been frustration having to miss the last three matches and it’s seemed a lot longer than a week and half without a game. But hopefully I can carry on from where I left off because I was just starting to play well.”
Liam is the club's joint top scorer with three goals before a straight red in the JPT clash with Crawley Town last months saw him sitting in the stands for three games which the Shrimpers have picked up four poiints from nine and sit just outside the paly-off zone.
While out though he at least could rest an annoying ankle injury which with a pain killing injection seems to be keeping under control before a possible operation at the end of the season.
Dickinson revealed: “I injured my ankle ligaments quite badly last season and I had still been experiencing a bit of pain with it but it’s been feeling a lot looser since the injection. I haven’t been able to train too much because of it but I’m feeling good and I’m excited about this weekend’s game.”
And we're looking forward to seeing you back Liam, and going clear at the top of the scoring chart that centre-back Mark Phillips is getting far too cocky.
