Dagenham match thread.
- Thread starter andyd
- Start date
its started already. the game where everything can go wrong will go wrong. haven't seem to have beeten these sods at home for years. off side goals, deflections dodgy refs and assistants the list is endless. rovers v burnley plus rugby semi final and weather forecast for rain will really cut into the gate as well. said I,d never go to a Dagenham game again but you feel like a traitor if you don't turn up though. luck and Stanley are words not to use in the same sentence.
I know what you mean about Dagenham games, always dread them but hopefully this could be the one where our fortunes against them change for the better??
Maybe in the season when our run against the Shrimps was halted, our luck against the Daggers will change too but the other way - I know, straws & grasping come to mind but I'm hoping that by 10 to 5 on Saturday, Tuesday's fiasco against the Wombles will be but a distant memory - will be keeping everything crossed

I agree Cashy!
I think that Crooks returning will be a great bonus for us but I hope that we can muster a decent defensive back line?
All the more reason for the Clayton End and t'others around the ground to get behind the team and management 100% and be that extra 'player' that can make the difference between WINNING and losing!
UP THE REDS!
...and make that 3!
Great result,looks like the Accy spirit come through.
Spent all day on couch watching sky sports feeling sorry for myself (poorly) and the team give me a buzz no medicine can give.
Made up for Matty getting his first goal,he'll be ten foot tall tonight.
Just waiting for all the usual suspects with their match reports to cheer me up !!

Sorry to hear of your indisposition F19...I'm still struggling in this 34 degree heat in Lanzarote !...but Dan did an excellent text job and my afternoon has been a cheerful affair !.
Seems, from my eldests report that we missed something to savour, but old age is a bind !.
Glad for Seamus and Matty...like to.see Defenders scoring, hope they get more !.
Seems like the genius got it right for once !....although another of my forum friends will probably disagree !.
Get well....KTF.
Well deserved 3 pts against a poor Daggers side, Thought most had a decent game, could not understand the logic of starting Adam? he was struggling after a few mins, before he went down!!, seemed to me to just annoy whatever injury he had been carrying, will probably be out a bit longer now.
I don't know who those players were posing in Dagenham kits, but they were nothing like the John Still sides of old. No bite, aggression or guts in their game. Awful.
That said, the reds were fantastic at times. Could (should) have won by four or more. A solid midfield the difference from Tuesday night while the shored-up defence won everything thrown at them.
How we have Billy Kee in our squad I don't know but his quality is a cut above the rest in this league and his selflessness enables the fledgling talent that is Josh Windass to grab the headlines. Great to see Mingoia back to his best with a great assist for our third goal. McConville had a good game also, getting stuck in all over the park.
My man of the match goes to Brad Halliday who really had to fight against their pacey sub (Jones) once moved to left back. A great effort by a young lad thrown in at the deep end this week. Matty Pearson a close second.
Hope Dean recovers from his illness soon and the report on Bucko doesn't make for grim reading.

Excellent performance against a team that where weak at the back. We had lots of headed chances(it showed how weak they where at the back and our desire to win the headers) and we could have scored a lot more. Kee was my man of match. He won most of his duels and set up most of are attacks." I believe" we can go up!
A lot of our football was breathtaking today. Could easily have been 7 or 8 if a certain midfielder/ winger had taken his chances, but I think he is programmed to aim straight at the goalie! Great goal by Pearson at exactly the right time as it was looking like the wasted chances were going to cost us dear. Many stunning individual performances individually but I suppose I would go for Billy as my MOM with a masterclass of CF play, even if he didn't score. What a smashing game from our new man at left back too!
