Dickinson aims to put the boot in

Liam Dickinson wants to send the Huddersfield defence bananas tonight – in his new yellow boots.

Nike's latest model, dubbed the 'banana boots' are all the rage with players up and down the country.

Dickinson said: "I don't like dull, boring colours. I like to brighten the pitch up a bit. I've had a bit of stick off the lads."

Dickinson is on a revenge mission against his old club after his first goal for Albion was overshadowed by their 7-1 hammering at the Galpharm Stadium in August.

The striker, who scored six goals in 13 games for Huddersfield on loan from Derby last season, said: "The gaffer has drummed it into us that we are not good enough at home.

"Huddersfield are a top side but we owe them one for that drubbing away from home earlier in the season."

Dickinson continues to deputise for out—of-favour top scorer Nicky Forster. He was dropped from the squad for Saturday's 1-1 draw at Leyton Orient and will be missing again following his contract fall-out with manager Gus Poyet.

Poyet confirmed: "The situation hasn't changed, so there is nothing really for me to comment on.

"Like I said after the game on Saturday, I don't want to talk about Nicky Forster."
