Dagenham v Grimsby

The Opposition

The Daggers survived their first season in the league on 49 points, 7 ahead of the last relegation place. Though it hardly warrants a celebration for many a small club in the East End of London fighting against the bigger clubs for notoriety it was a big achievement after running away with the Conference with 95 points in 2007. It is hoped that the East London club can now move forward and establish themselves in the leagues and expand along the lines of Leyton Orient who have been grown and grown since the late 90’s. Last year Dagenham and Redbridge were seen as just as successful on the road as they were at home accumulating only one point less outside of the capital then they did at their small compact home in the borough of Barking. The East End club will though want to improve on their -21 goal difference which they found themselves with last season and, though none of last year statistics can be attributed to one single problem, such a high minus number indicates The Daggers need a tweak rather then a full refit when it comes to the team they have impressively gathered together.
