Plunged to the bottom of League Two with the 1-2 reverse against Port Vale, a fug had consumed the terraces with the Conference trapdoor beckoning. Fast forward three weeks, and things are looking up.
Lately, the Daggers have been on the slide. A painful, jarring slide which makes you wince as you gradually drop to your inevitable fate, powerless to stop the force of gravity. Rather like when you were a child and made the mistake of going to the playground in your shorts before crying in agony as your legs screeched against the metal surface.
With the new football season just a day away, it is time to delve into the betting markets and try to win some cash. Followers of our tips last year would’ve picked up on Huddersfield who finished in the top 3, but sadly Port Vale fell apart after Micky Adams’ departure having looked set to claim promotion. York weren’t quite consistent enough and ended up 8th, but overall we were on the right lines and will hope for better luck this time.
