Dobbie is back at Swansea City and very much in favour after playing a big part in Blackpool's promotion to the Premier League last season.<\/p>\n
Dobbie was a summer purchase 12 months ago – the last signing made by Roberto Martinez – but did not fit into the Swans plans under Paulo Sousa and was shipped out to Blackpool where his goals helped the Seasiders win an unlikely promotion.<\/p>\n
But that is now in the past and after his match winner against Cheltenham last Saturday he is very much looking forward to the season opener against Hull a week on Saturday.<\/p>\n
He told the Evening Post "I was very pleased with the goal against Cheltenham. I struck it very well and the keeper didn't get anywhere near it <\/p>\n
"But the difference is doing it against the big boys in the Championship, that's when it matters.<\/p>\n
"These are only pre-season games, but of course it does boost your confidence.<\/p>\n
"It has given me more confidence going into this trip.<\/p>\n
"Hopefully I'll get a few more goals and that will put me in the starting line-up for the game against Hull — that's what I've got my eyes on.<\/p>\n
When I came down last year my aim was to score regularly in the Championship, but it didn't really work out as I would have liked," he admitted.<\/p>\n
"I went to Blackpool and it did me a lot of good. Over the last six months I've really had a level head. I couldn't get carried away despite the good situation at Blackpool.<\/p>\n
"But that is in the past now — I'm back with Swansea and I'm glad to be back with the squad.<\/p>\n
"I've managed to score some important goals, so I know I can do it at this level."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
