Kieron Dyer is convinced he can add something new to West Ham United's play.

Supporters up at Ewood Park were delighted to see Dyer take the game to Blackburn when he came on and he is hoping that he can get more chances to impress between now and the end of the season.

He told whufc.com: "It is nice to hear that, for me it has been frustrating because they haven't been able to see me play much, if at all. They have certainly not seen me at my best yet.

"These things happen in football and I honestly believe I can bring some more pace to the side. If I can get a few more run-outs before the end of this season, then next season will hopefully be the one where everyone will see the real me."

While he only had a few minutes against Blackburn, Dyer showed a little of just what West Ham fans have missed and was involved pretty much straight away.

"I am nowhere near match fit yet, I haven't played 90 minutes in nearly two years but I spoke with the manager and said I would like to be on the bench [against Blackburn] and if am needed, I am here, put me on and see what I can get through. That was the case and it worked, I should have got a penalty as well when I came on, so it could have worked out even better."
