Well would you believe it! Since February, the idea of Dagenham & Redbridge making the play offs has been a fading dream. Nevertheless, since the return of Paul Benson and Peter Gain, the Daggers have looked a revitalised outfit and now have a genuine chance of making that two legged semi final tie.
Last time I [...]

First of all, apologies for the lack of blog updates lately. Have had several different situations arise resulting in a lot less free time for me to write.
Anyway, back to the action on the pitch. Following the disappointing last minute defeat to Bournemouth, a long trip to Chester was next on the Daggers agenda. It [...]

It’s amazing how quickly things can change in football!
2008 ended with the Daggers becoming the first team to defeat Aldershot Town at The Recreation Ground for nearly a year. As a result, this defeat seemed to knock Town for six and they have since plummeted down into mid table. Unfortunately, where many thought the victory [...]

Well, what a very frustrating month!
Following the superb comeback against Rochdale, Daggers then went on to gain a well earned point in midweek against Grimsby Town. However, the game that followed will live long in the memories of the home supporters.
Darlington were the visitors and the game was a scrappy one. However, what the match [...]

Still here are [...]

Come on admit it!!
With the score at 2-1 to Rochdale after 70 minutes, you didn’t think we would get anything did you!
I must admit, I didn’t either. It’s testament to the squad of Dagenham & Redbridge FC that we kept going and showed that we never say die.
Rochdale are undeniably a very good side [...]

Following a fantastic victory at the back end of 2008 over Aldershot, the Daggers have found life to 2009 a little bit trickier.
The manager of the month curse struck immediatly into 2009 as Rotherham grabbed a last minute equaliser in game 24 to deny the small club from Essex a place in the automatic [...]

As 2008 draws to a close and Daggers fans all around dream of securing that prestiguous play off spot, it’s key to look back and realise just how far John Still has brought the team. What started as a stabilising job back in April 2004 after the Daggers plunged into financial difficulties has four and [...]
