Re: Altrincham Match First Game for Fans

Nice to be back. Had a lovely Carvery and a few pints in the Pipe before the game, good conversation on the way to the ground with my top mates and then 90 completely forgettable minutes of football with a humourus bit of banter with their 15, followed by a good boo at the end. Good to be back to no...

Re: Time for Daryl to go?

I can’t believe that he didn’t bring on Deering today. The bloke runs his socks off and has a great football brain. How would he not have improved that dross today? Balanta was brilliant when he first joined us but looks like a cart horse on his last legs now. We are so slow and predictable. Probabl...

Re: Aldershot

Luck runs out in the end and we can't just rely on the amazing Elliot Justham to keep us out of the crap. We look OK defensively but absolutely clueless going forward. Only Deering has any creativity and he must be tearing his hair out because the players around him are slow, ponderous and lack conf...

Re: RIP Ted Hardy

I am lucky enough to remember Ted as manager of the original mighty Dagenham FC and the current club. When he came back in 1996 we were on our knees. Some very poor decisions at board level had left us with literally no team and a bleak future. Ted came in and built, from scratch, one of the finest ...

Re: FA CUP

We have to build on this now. Played like a proper team today for the first time this season. Wilson looks quality.

Re: Boreham Wood Postponed

The nightingale hospitals should be used for just that reason, all COVID patients should be treated there and allow the NHS to function as near to normal at local trusts. Its a hard act to balance the economy and peoples lives against a virus that's likely to wipe out 5% of the population. For cent...

Is this the most turgid football ever at Dagenham?

Not sure if it’s because I’m having to endure thus s**t sober and on TV but I honestly can’t think of a less energetic, slick and cohesive team as we have right now. Every game is painful to watch. We are slow, ponderous and downright clueless going forward. It might be that time blurs the senses bu...

Re: Darryl when you gonna earn your wages ?

Tim Howard seems about as interested in our club as I am about Strictly Come Dancing. (Very uninterested). I think he was bought in as a ‘face’ and nothing else. Very uninspired by him so far.....

Re: Yeovil Town (H)

Definitely 2 points dropped there. But a massive improvement on previous performances, and maybe if the ref gave that clear penalty on Deering then we would have got the result we deserved. Personally I think if we had McCallum playing to be winning the balls for McQueen to run on to, then we would...

Re: Daggers v Concord Rangers 22nd September 2020

Is the game off tonight? If not then all Daggers fans should turn up - could be the last game at The Vic ever!

Re: Refund?

Some good points on both sides here. I think the club should have clearly communicated that there would be no refunds for last season but pointed to the massive investments made in the last couple of weeks and also the fact that season ticket prices have been frozen. I don’t think any true fans woul...

Re: The Podcast Boys

We need to have a Daggers focused one. The one he did with the chaps from Ebbsfleet was a bit like watching your missus boshing her ex (probably). 😂

Re: Season Tickets 20/21

Would be interesting to understand how football clubs all survived the 2nd World War. I think that football was effectively closed for 5 years at least but not many clubs folded as far as I can see. Did they just close down completely, mothball the stadiums and restart after the war? Could learn som...
