History will be made this Saturday as the Daggers host their first ever match in English football’s third tier, when Tranmere Rovers will be the visitors to Victoria Road. Both sides already find themselves at the foot of the table so it promises to be an interesting fixture.
I’m sure everybody was fully aware just how tough our introduction to League One was going to be. Away to Sheffield Wednesday is about as big as it gets, and in all reality we were never going to take three points away from Hillsborough. However, the Daggers were far from outclassed and it bodes well for the rest of the season.
Here we are on the eve of the new football season, and what better way to get in the mood than trying to win some cash? Just like last season we’ll be looking at the Championship down to the Conference and making our picks in the outright winners markets. With any luck we’ll do a bit better this time!
With the Daggers’ unexpected elevation to the third tier of English football, John Still has found himself with plenty to do in the transfer market. Whilst our thin squad was stretched to its limit in the middle part of the previous campaign, it seems there is no chance of similar problems this time around. Already 7 new players are confirmed on contract for the coming season, with other possibilities from an array of trialists.
Cheltenham Town swooped to sign Wes Thomas this week as the Daggers front man ended a two-year stay at the club. Signed on a three-year deal from Fisher Athletic in September 2008, Wes had one year left to run on his contract.
Another tournament, another disappointment. The usual rhetoric of “learning lessons”, “looking in the mirror” and “analyzing where it went wrong” was immediately spouted by a group of players who once again failed to deliver on the big stage. The biggest problem, though, is that we don’t ever seem to learn lessons. Here’s our take on England’s footballing woe.
We are a Dagenham and Redbridge FC fan site. The name was inspired by the Daggers winning the Ryman Premier League title in April 2000, coming from behind to beat Hampton and Richmond Borough after having 2 players sent off.
