No problem the Rhino charged through them,just having a coffee at Stafford Services.

Well done chubbyman, fantastic support.
I have only done Dagenham once, it seems to take forever to get around the M25.

It does when you're looking for a curry house!

Do a full report later but Stanley were awesome and should have surpassed the Morcambe score.

Well done to the team and JB. Sounds like we did enough to win. The important thing was that it was one more point towards our safe target.
Well done to the 32, (OR WAS IT 33?) travelling supporters.
ON STANLEY ON

[cashman]

Concensus of daggers fans on yon is Stanley unlucky not to win.

[Chubbyman]

Just spent an hour typing and lost it,I'll do it again tonight ,off golfing I hope I play as well as stanley .

[smudgie]

Another good point on the road to safety IMO.

As others have said, nice to see a few results go our way again.

Northampton a week on Saturday could be THE game.........

Think if we get 6Pts from Exeter n Northampton games its the end of all worries.

Since the corresponding game against The Daggers back in October (2 points from 30!) Stanley have performed an unbelievable turnaround, given the club's facilities and finances. Since the start of this year, every game has been like a cup tie in terms of potential impact on the club. The remaining games are even more vital. With the number of clubs squeezed together in the same fight, every one of the next games could be the equivalent of a six pointer, and the next six opponents all have something to fight for.
Forget the celebrity angst of the PL and it's media groupies, if fans want real drama and tension, League 2 is the venue.

Well what a game and a pleasure to meet Exile from Stanley at half time.....The first half Stanley had two cleared off the line and a great save by the keeper to palm one onto the crossbar,they shaved the first half.How Stanley didn't win this game by a bigger margin than Morecambe is beyond me.I don't remember going to any game with more clearances and blocks off the line.After the game I went to the programme shop for a programme for my lad and there were 6 old timers there,they just couldn't believe how they( in their own words) robbed two points off us.All were in agreement that Tom Aldred and the Rhino were outstanding players.Young Gray had a great game and he would have scored at least two goals if he could have kept his feet.....every time he cranked over at pace his feet went. I don't know who sorts the studs out for the players boots but it wants addressing .Naithsmith powered into the box with his first touch after coming on turned sharply and went flat on his backside...surely with modern boots this can be alleviated to a great extent.Whoever said on the Dagenham Board that it was a boring game must have meant he was bored waiting for Stanley to score, in a nutshell all the team were up for it and every single player put a full shift in...the coaching staff must have been pleased and deserve a big pat on the back.As for the match stats Stanley had more shots on target than the total shots shown,as I said earlier a pretty even first have shaven by Stanley but the second half Stanley had much more possession so where the 45% comes from baffles me have you ever seen a game 13 corners to 4 and had 10% less possession.The officials were awful for both sides a lot of blatant errors .THE FUTURE...It would be great if we could keep JB and his coaches for at least another season along with most of the squad as I can't see anything but automatic promotion next season the way this team is maturing into a well drilled outfit.I am still buzzing from Tuesday and can't wait to be on my way to Exeter.... another cracking game I expect.

If the possession stats were true, I suspect a good 15% of the Daggers time on the ball was passing backwards, as the Stanley players pressed them in their own half.
Suspect the pitch was a bit slippier than it appeared from our elevated seats; it had been drizzling for much of the day.
Only one small negative comment about Mr.Gray, who otherwise put himself about and ran everywhere, was that he and Kayode got in each other's way a couple of times, but that was because they were both desperate to get a crack at goal.
But, like you Chubby, I'm still buzzing from that performance. Roll on St.James Park.

[cashman]

Yep really looking forward to sat, if daggers display can be replicated should snare 3 pts.
