Post-Match Thread and Ratings Dagenham & Redbridge 1, Southend United 3

Brilliant travelling support, actually believe that after their goal went in the fans getting behind the side gave them a buzz and pushed them to the win.

By far the best side.

Professional and classy at times.

Don't think we even got out of 2nd gear to be honest, Hall wanted it and showed that he wants his place, meant everything he did, a long with everyone else.

Special mention to the two 'characters' who walked down to the barrier and used some kind words that Wordsworth would have been proud of...:smile:

Excellent playing surface, they just need to build another end and then their ground is an okay lower league ground.

BARMY ARMY!

NEXT!

Can only echo what people have put already. A thoroughly professional display against a very mediocre Daggers team, albeit one decimated by injuries by all accounts. Their ball retention skills were virtually non existent.
Special mention for Hall, Moshni and Timlin, all superb. Hall is too good to not be in the team in my opinion, where you play him that is the question as we do lack pace up front. Perhaps being paired with Dicko or Harris up top?

Great support too, nice new stand with good acoustics. Shame to see a legend like Maher look way past his best in a poor team.

Listened on the radio last night, another positive result great for Hall get a couple and the SUFC bandwagon rolls onwards. Didn't realise King Kev was playing for D&R until the second half when Paul Clark said Maher must be getting neckache watching Daggers long balls go over his head!

Also well done to all those who went, heard you all loud & proud, superb.

Decent blog by a Daggers fan with some thoughts on the game - nice mention for blues fans and he rated Mohsni and Hall.

Yeah that's quite a good read.

He is right, I think the JPT needs to change it's name for a start, but that wont ever happen due to advertising money.

I did note a bit of frustration on the OMT, when they equalised, stating that we should have been out of sight by that time. However, I never actually thought that we weren't going to win. I think that perhaps the confidence that exudes from the team at the moment, is also manifesting itself in the supporters.

You know what Yogi I think you are right.

For the first time in ages, I strolled into an away end expecting us to win and win comfortably.

Even when they equalised, I knew we had the ability to go up a gear and score again. I think most of the supporters felt that as well. Nobody was really that concerned at all, it was very calm and relaxed.

That is no disrespect to Daggers. It's just nice after all we have been through over the last few years, to feel confident and believe in our team again. Long may it continue.

As for the game. Much the same view as everyone else. We strolled it. We we're pretty average for most of the game, but turned it on when needed. We should of really buried them by 5 or 6, but a special mention to their keeper for that. Hall the stand-out for me, with Bilel getting a mention for his aerial prowess and keeping calm.

I hope for Daggers sake they get some of their players back from injury. As on that showing they are a shoe in for relegation. Cue heavy defeat when we visit again in November for the league game!. On that note, how the hell are they going to fit us all in for that game?! I don't think there will be many left after Seaso's have first dibs, if any. With any luck they maybe able to give us some of the terracing as well. I can easily see 2,000+ wanting to go to next month, especially if we are still up there.

Yeah work got the better of me so couldn't make this one last night I'm afraid. Makes me all the more determined to get a ticket for the game in November. Thanks for the FB invite though!

I won't be going in November, but as a STH I'm more than willing to purchase a ticket for a non STH..

Might have to take you up on that offer then mate. Need to tick the ground off. Lets see what allocation we get first though.

I'm glad Paul Sturrock is mentioning our fans recently, I always wanted him to realise that we have good support, Sturrock did join us in a hard time as our fans had been through alot and just wanted to see passion in the team. Now it's finally all showing, the team are doing fantastic, we are bringing more numbers home and away, love it. Keep it up lads.

Great night, good game which was well controlled by us, liked the stadium and away end which we get to visit in a couple of months again.

Moshni and Hall were our top boys, they are creating huge headaches for sturrock I am sure, along with Grant (nice bit of skill in front of us eh?)

Great to keep the momentum going! How many corners did we have?? felt like 30 and we didn't attack one of them.

It is stated on hear that if we avoid Charlton we may go all the way to the final .Well at present that wont be hard to do as Charlton are losing 3 0 at home to Brentford .:thumbsup:
