Views from the Sieve

Very poor performance today too reliant on the long ball second to every 50-50 can’t remember a ball being won in their box very frustrating. Dion and Ryan barely saw the ball in their half.

I only saw the first hour in which we were awful. Not a shot at goal, constantly losing possession and too many long balls to Umerah who is totally inept at holding it up and bringing others into play. Hill wasn't in the game anymore than Pereira. WTF has happened to the Daggers who beat Sutton & Gateshead. I accept we've a few injuries but what I saw today was an insult to the loyal fans who made the trip.

What a shambles of a performance but given we’re missing 4 probable starters we had a centre back playing his first game after 1 training day, 2
Players playing out of position and Dion who was way off the pace you’re asking for trouble. Very bad day at the office.

Injuries are going to cost us this season along with failing to sign a decent striker and a proper left back, have to look at the manager and sporting director for that failure. No play offs I’m afraid and we will be looking over our shoulder if we’re not careful.

No Dion next week, big banana skin game.

Why will Dion be missing next week is it too many bookings?

Real shame to the 100 plus fans who made the effort and was so unentertaining to watch, beats me whatever reason we just couldn't pass their back line and with an opposition goalkeeper hardly a sniff of work to do what more can one say? But what parcels the dagger experience a great away day it was with the social side to it all, know it never wins matches but it was a good showing yesterday this side to DRFC takes afair bit of beating!

International duty I believe.

He will be a huge loss.

Horrific yesterday, and Strevens said as much when he came over to the away end. A pitiful lack of quality and tempo across the pitch. Yeovil were comfortably superior without having to exert themselves beyond first gear it seemed. This has been a disappointing comedown after three straight victories but is Dagenham to a tee.

Sounds like a dreadful performance and really there isn’t any excuse for it. Hard to not be pissed off that Morias has now disappeared from the squad after the cup match on Tuesday, alongside Cox. When will we catch a break with injuries? Maybe when we start to sign players that aren’t injury prone, but who knows…

Luckily there is a good chance to put things right next week, and restart our momentum from a month ago. Much weaker opposition that we are easily capable of blowing away. Unluckily though, we have been in this position twice before and served up the two worst performances in recent memory. Hard to not be worried…

Potential Banana skin coming Cup Saturday and an away again? Visions of Bracknell Town and since Everton very dismal record moving up from qualifyers on it? Hard to believe just around a month ago a good win over Sutton and a slaughtering of Table topping Gateshead u'd have thought we'd have the crest of a wave to carry on moving forwards with those type of results, we can't really blame injuries, Yeovil no excuse should have been taking out.
