Liam Dickinson reported to be going out on loan, as Rams struggle to score.
Liam Dickinson is said to be on his way out of Derby County for a loan spell to build his confidence, according to a report in the People.co.uk. The report comes after strikers Nathan Ellington and Rob Hulse spurned countless chances during the first half of yesterdays match against Doncaster Rovers.

Jewell persisted with his new strike pairing during the whole 90 minutes of yesterdays match and with Tito Villa an unused substitute it looks as though Jewell has nailed his colours to the mast, as to his chosen strikers. Twenty two year old Dickinson scored 21 goals in 41 games last season for Stockport and was unlucky to have a goal ruled out for a foul by Villa in a pre-season friendly.

The report mentions that Jewell will be loaning out the young striker to give him confidence, although many would like to see this fresh young goal scorer given his chance in the Derby team. Will Dickinson become this season's Rob Earnshaw. Dickinson cost the Rams a quarter of a million pounds during the summer but now faces a return to football at a lower division. Will this give him confidence ?...
