Post-Match Thread and Ratings Dagenham & Redbridge 0-2 Southend United

Cricko · Saturday at 5:02 PM

A good win over a very poor D&R team but one Swallow does not make a Summer and we certainly needed to improve. It was great to see a more attacking formation with 3 up top and we played with a lot more pace. Why we do not play well at home seems to be our problem atm but at least Kev made some changes in his set up.

Really pleased Bonne got on the score sheet at last , i have been no fan of his but he worked very hard today alongside Kendall and was my MOTM. Morton also had a very good game.

Overall a good performance and the travelling loud 1200 Shrimpers fans were fantastic. I hope Collin is ok and not out for to long.

Good performance and a good result. Great for Bonne to finally get one, Harness doesn't look as **** as everyone claims he is, Bridge still can't beat the first man. All in all happy with that. Bonne MotM with Kendall a close second

Pennyfather just said that by changing it up with 3 up front that we looked so much better.

Hopefully there will be more of that to come.

Amazing away support - an incredible set of travelling supporters.

A look at the table tells you we're a long way off that 7th spot & a playoff place ,which is how the season will ultimately be judged IMO.

So Goodliffe was out there organising the back four, that sounds like the tough centre back I know, he won’t take any prisoners just like his dad Jason Goodliffe who played many games mostly non league.

Get it. Great result. Gutted I couldn’t get a ticket for this - we only seem to win the games I don’t go to. Taking donations to stop me going to the Fylde game on Tuesday!

It's amazing how you can still draw a negative after a result like that.
Onwards and upwards.

He also said that Morton was fantastic all game….strange, can’t normally get a game?

We are off the playoffs but not a long way. We have a run of games over the next few weeks that will define the season and they should be winnable.

Really important performance and result, and some big individual performances.

Morton should hopefully now have cemented his place with another good performance. He just oozes confidence and composure. And Bonne was excellent. Hopefully big things to come from him now.

Credit to Kev for mixing it up and trying something different. Needs to carry on in the same vein now. Hopefully he sticks with the 3-4-3 going forward and if Husin and Miley have to wait patiently for an opportunity back in, then so be it.

I’ve noticed that almost every win we’ve had this season has been caveated by the opposition being so poor. I wonder if some realise that just maybe we made them look poor.

GBJ · Saturday at 5:16 PM

Outstanding performance. Best we’ve played since Eastleigh at home back in sept(?)

Bonnie was my MOTM.

Everyone gets a 10/10.

Off for a celebratory corned beef sandwich
