Aided by a supporting cast down both flanks, where it's been good to see creativity emerge in the absence of Joe Haigh bearing the single-handed burden, Stan Leech stole the show.

Daggers 3, Hampton 1

A spectacle so mind-numbingly tedious that the youngsters not yet fully drained of appetite preferred to stage a makeshift Sports' Day behind the stand while announcements of added minutes were booed with genuine sincerity.

Maybe my shortest ever report: https://dagnificent.weebly.com/match-reports ...

The arrival of KSI generated extraordinary fanfare around the club for the first home game of a ceremonial new era - and this was better Dagenham's day in every sense as they rose to the occasion with a brilliant performance.

In the latest crazy development at this football club, it's been announced that internet personality KSI has become a part-owner and strategic partner.

A deep, balanced exploration into everything this could mean for us:

The chance to kick on and we wilt like always. After a lively start, we completely lost our way and surrendered control to a side who'd lost eight straight away league trips dating back to September. It could have been four or five by half time considering the efforts off the line. Absolutely ...

Apparently they are also absolutely riddled with injuries including Vigrass who came on for just a few minutes in midweek before being forced off. Despite getting a red card their 12-goal top scorer Tony Lee can play due to that weird seven day rule which we're very familiar with this season.

This ...

While Bradbury framed this defeat within the context of the play-offs, the reality is that it leaves his side closer to the relegation zone.

Yes, they did fall on the wrong side of moments that shaped this game, but the real blame lies within:

7, from 32 games all comps, which must be the most in the top seven tiers. 5 of those being straight reds.

The discourse about everything on and off the pitch is just so tiresome and repetitive. Nothing changes.

A game that obviously hinged on two big moments we fell the wrong side of but at the end of the day it's another loss which leaves us closer to relegation than the play-offs Bradbury laughably ...

Really disappointing. It took us well over an hour to pluck up the courage to ask questions of them, in no small part down to tactics which by Bradbury's own admission sought to contain and frustrate rather than take the game to them. When we finally did, we found them to be quite ordinary and we ...

Great to get back to winning ways and convincingly so too in the end. Where we were all expecting a nervy ending, how nice for us to instead pick them off and add some gloss. We scored a lovely catalogue of goals too, Leech's proper centre forward instinct, a couple slicing them apart for close ...

This break from league action, while most inopportune when we want to keep riding the wave of momentum, represents the perfect waypoint to assess where we're at.

The past few weeks have seen a brilliant turnaround, but what exactly has brought it on? ⬇️

Relegated together on the final day of last season to signify a ninth consecutive in eachother's orbit, Daggers and Maidenhead reconvened, both around mid table but in very contrasting form.

The game went according to it, with Joe Haigh's goal the difference:

So nice to walk away from Victoria Road after three points and a good performance.

A satisfying day. On another we might have been punished for not killing it off and scoring more, but a much more solid base provided the foundations for one goal to be enough. On that, 5 clean sheets from 6 is good ...

I'd like to get through in this competition but if we can't do so against a side in the relegation zone of the Isthmian North, while being able to shake up the squad, then we might as well give up what slim hope there is left.

I'd have pretty much all of the bench at Bath City starting, plus ...
