Albion boss Gus Poyet has let Liam Dickinson join Peterborough on loan, because he cannot guarantee him a regular place.

Dickinson's move to London Road for the rest of the season reunites him with Jim Gannon, his former manager at Stockport.

Poyet told The Argus: "He knows he is going to be in and out, depending on so many things.

"The manager there knows him personally and knows how to get the best out of him. He just wants to play football."

Dickinson's departure, after six goals in 32 appearances this season, leaves Albion with a strike force of Glenn Murray, Chris Holroyd, Gary Hart and the out-of-favour Nicky Forster, whose contract dispute remains unresolved.

Poyet confirmed Forster's situation is "still the same".

Asked if he will be moving back into the loan market for another forward, Poyet added: "Probably but there are options in every single department, not only one."
