An all-too-familiar position

September 20th, 2012

With seven games gone, the League Two table is beginning to take shape. It is rather predictable which end the Daggers find themselves at, as we look set for a third consecutive season of struggle with only goal difference keeping us out of the drop zone.

Finally kicking into action, we were a team reborn in the final seven weeks of the season, pulling well clear of the drop zone to finish in the dizzy heights of 19th place. As a poignant juxtaposition, we’ve also left it late to look at just how we managed it…

Disastrous run sets Daggers adrift

March 16th, 2012

It is fair to say that the last two months have been a disaster. Back in early January, it seemed we had finally started our season with 7 points from 3 games. It proved, however, to be a false dawn.

We’ve finally bitten the bullet and offer our take on recent developments.
