Great performance and result but now have to go to Solihull in nine days time and make sure that we can finish above Wealdstone.

Get in, turns out I’m something of a Southend fan myself

Two ex daggers on the scoresheet and suddenly this catastrophic season is back in our own hands

[DaggerJoel11]

We've rightfully questioned the players' bottle, especially in must-win games, and in the biggest yet we've done that. Absolutely phenomenal, to a man. Could not believe what we were watching. We could barely have dreamt a better set of results today, to somehow wrestle control over our situation in some style. Still lots to do but it's in our hands now. What a day.

Fantastic result today so glad I went to the game today along with the 2 first timers I talked into coming. I know we are still right in the sh@t. But for now I just want to enjoy the incredible moment for a few days. Been along while since I've been able tondo that. The supports where incredible again today especially the ones sitting behind me I'm the new stand. Final words COYD

Simply incredible. Every man worked their arse off and turned up for a real fight. Turner I feel for, made some amazing saves and deserved that clean sheet. Tbh all the boys at the back deserved it. Umerah and Hess played the best I have seen them in ages. Please just give us this one more time Dagenham.

That yesterday has got to go down as one of the greatest daggers showpieces as nearly everyone of us even perhaps most of the players were completely unexpecting that! Incredible day think a fair few of us were dumb struck for words in the top bar afterwards couldn't believe what we saw even the own goal was a contender for NL goal of the Season, can't see why not with what surely be hundreds of us making the Midlands journey next Monday with our vocals we can't win that Moors game, also Dagenham & Redbridge have a great habit of picking up good goalkeepers even injured Louis Jones looked pretty good and with Jake Turner we seem to have a diamond there. Let's turn Solihull Red for the day and at last put this relegation threat to bed.

Great support yesterday, really got behind the boys. Still some mindless booing at the end from a minority and 'Benny Strevens'. Come on lads we just won 6-1

[steeevooo]

What a performance yesterday, as unexpected as it was! Every player deserves full credit and praise for the shift and performances put in. The most important moment of the match though surely has to be the fantastic reaction save by Turner at 1-0 where he managed to change direction and flick the ball over the bar. That goes in, we go 1-1 and it's a completely different game that I wouldn't have been surprised if we lost. A sterling performance and gives us that worst thing...hope! one more strong performance required but it's (finally) back in our hands.

[Lcbdagger]

No idea if we can keep hold of him next season, but what a find on the goalkeeping front these past few weeks... Liked Jones and his injury was unfortunate, but some of the game changing/ saving stops from Turner have been immense.

On the other hand, I appreciate it was all speculation, but earlier in the season hearing that players like Rees were already told around Christmas that they would have contracts extended next year, I don't know how we ever thought we could get through the season without him! Stands up tall when the club really needs him, on a regular basis these last few years.

Just been watching the highlights again (fifth time) and I’m still laughing at the response for the 6th goal, wonder who the woman is having a Harry met Sally moment?

Guilty as charged. Sorry, not sorry.


I’ll add them to the pinned post with a warning.

[BB-Dagger]

Apologies not necessary, I just thought it was funny, haven’t had much to cheer about recently so enjoy the moment

[Auntie Merge]

I don't think I need to explain myself, but just in case.

I was sitting in the back row of the Sponsors section, with at least 2 seats either side of me empty.
Although there were people around me, none knew me well and none knew how I dreamed of 6-0 wins.
One of the greatest moments for me watching the Daggers, and there was no hug, no cuddles, no high 5 and it felt like no one directly to share my excitement with (story of my life!).

Especially as goal number 6 had been an own goal.
(Not sure if I've said this elsewhere. My perfect 6-0 is always a hat trick, 2 other scorers and 1 own goal scored by the opposition player you hate the most.)

Plus it had been so long since I had seen us be in a 6-0 winning position, I'd almost forgotten what to do.
My body (voice) just took over... and that was the end result.
Of course I was seated too close to the commentary team.
Had I been in my normal seat it might not have been too bad.

Just a shame we had to let in a sloppy goal in those final 3 minutes.

But overall, what a great win at the time we needed it the most. Hopefully we can do well at Solihull.
I'll be in the same lucky fancy dress that I wore to Wrexham 0 Daggers 1 when we made the playoffs in 2017.

I can assure you Auntie that the 6-0 scoreline, along with the scorer circumstances, were noted and observed by those that sit around your normal seat.
