Re: Squad for 22/23

I feel the list of 10 or so names listed above are a good start. If we can add 6-8 that are at that level or from League 2 if the budget allows. It’s clear from what we saw and the stats that going forward we are decent. So it’s pretty clear where improvements are needed. The northern sides that dom...

The Future.

First things first, today was bloody top class, all our players were excellent and absolutely controlled the game. McCallum was superb in my opinion but all of them were 9 out of 10. As for the future, the foundations are in place, recruitment will be absolutely crucial as always but plenty to be op...

Re: Barnet

It’s going to be results against the teams above us that will cost us I’m afraid. In order to secure a play off berth or better they had to deliver more points. We are moving closer towards being a play off team with the summer ins and outs being even more crucial than usual. Hopefully the owners wi...

Momentum.

Big game tomorrow in more ways than one. If we get the win the little run carries on and a visit to Wembley appears on the horizon. That will give the players and supporters a lift and very likely the momentum needed to turn this season from a what might of been to one we remember. The flaws in our ...

Playing Catch Up.

So we are now 7pts adrift of a play off spot, and with strong teams in between us and 7th position. It means the next three league games we must harvest 7 or 9pts, all against teams below us in the league and two at home. At this stage for me I think our most likely chance of a visit to Wembley prob...

Re: Torquay

A point down there is always decent, especially given a very poor start. Two big home games to come against Halifax and Stockport this month. We are genuinely in with a play off shout for sure especially with lots of the players now fit. Nice for McMahon to have selection choices to ponder. It’s goo...

Re: Crucial Week.

Job done. 9pts bagged and duly back in the game for the play offs. Dover were decent today, better than Aldershot. They may trip up a few before the season ends based on what we saw today, had four or five decent players at least. Let’s hope we can kick on in 2022 and get in the hunt to get back int...

Re: Crucial Week.

Two down one to go. A win against Dover and we definitely back in the mix. Today we looked very solid and controlled the game without looking overly dangerous. Great goal by Balanta and a nice team move. Zouma clearly motm, did not put a foot wrong. COYD!

Crucial Week.

Firstly happy Christmas to everyone. I think next week is massive for our season and the biggest for a few seasons, we find ourselves 6pts off of the play offs so a harvest of 9pts is an absolute must next week. We appear to have most players available again so with a bit of shuffling fielding 3 str...

Re: Welcome Trialist D

He’s a dangerous player. McCallum will be absent for a while it appears. A fit trio of this lad, Walker and Morias would be a decent strikeforce and may bring Balanta into the game more. Hopefully in time for three games we must win over Christmas they will all be fit and gagging to smash in a few f...

Re: Grimsby

Proper gutsy Daggers of old display today. A huge 3pts especially given with the three Christmas games looking promising for more points especially with some of the injured players in with a shout of playing. Well played lads. 👏

Grimsby

Are we unlucky or why does it feel like so many of the players that come to Dagenham are then injured for long periods? Perhaps it’s bad luck or is it taking risks on players who have talent but alongside a history of long term injury. Now of course injuries can happen in many ways and not always in...

Bounce Back.

That was just what we needed today, a strong away win and four more goals as well. Not many points separate the top seven so plenty of reasons to be cheerful for sure. Having seen Akanbi score three at hat trick at Aveley in pre season I’m not surprised he’s been a handful today, very strong fella a...

Re: Junior Morias

Good luck to the fella, this now confirms Walker won’t be seen for some time, presumably there is an issue with Wilson too. Surely this must be followed by defensive reinforcements! Money has been found for this signing. It’s so clear to anyone who follows our team where we are lacking that it’s now...
