Disappearing defence trick obscures Akinde magic (pt.1)

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

The last six games have been something of a disappointment. Unbeaten in the previous half-dozen, two games against Brighton halted this run but results in other matches haven’t gone to plan either. We take a look at that first Brighton game, along with the trip to Exeter and visit of Peterborough.

Daggers battle as Megson prattles

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

The Daggers have continued their remarkable upturn in form over the last couple of weeks. A 2-1 win over Charlton was followed by a point at Orient which could so easily have been 3, whilst Saturday’s cagey 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday maintained the unbeaten run.

Purple patch lifts Daggers belief

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

The last 3 games have seen a remarkable upturn in fortunes for the Daggers. Seven points from nine against Bristol Rovers, Colchester and Swindon has created real belief. Finally getting our heads above the water of the relegation zone has set up a nail-biting but exciting climax to the season.

We’ve fallen a bit behind with our views from the Daggers recent games, but we begin our catch-up with a look back to late February.

Recent matches have heralded a welcome upturn in fortunes for the Daggers.

A somewhat fortuitous home win against Yeovil Town set everything up for a trip to rivals Walsall, but the Saddlers put a dent in our aspirations with a well-earned 1-0 victory. Here’s our take.

Daggers deflated in smash-and-grab

Monday, January 24th, 2011

Another three matches have passed since we had a look at the Daggers’ progress on the pitch. The latest trio included very winnable home games against Rochdale and MK Dons, with a long trip to the north east and Hartlepool sandwiched in between. Two defeats and a win later, we find our situation unchanged.

Carlisle respite a false dawn

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Despite the recent lack of updates on the Daggers’ fortunes, only three games have passed since late November. Poor weather put paid to almost all the festive football after a great win at Carlisle, and the break obviously hasn’t helped with 2 defeats since.
