After today's disappointment we move on. Daggers sit currently 19/24 with their home form from last 5 home games for all teams in league 2 - played 5 won 1 drew 3 lost 1. We have nothing to fear and all to gain.
Morsey loss is a pain, but we have other capable leaders and fresh legs to get us over the line. Midfield shape will be interesting on Monday as the 4 will not be sufficient to match their athleticism. Maybe Hird sat in front of Cooper and Evatt with Ryan, O'Shea, Roberts and Kearns playing behind a lone Doyle? Roberts behind Doyle because out wide he isn't involved enough and cannot track back?

Another option would be to play Humphreys and Hird holding with Roberts Ryan and O'Shea/Kearns in front to feed Doyle.

Lee
Darikwa. Cooper Evatt Smith
Hird Humphreys
Kearns. Ryan Roberts
Doyle

Looking forward to it! Believe we can do it when everything else around us seems chaos!

Daggers would crucify Hird and Humphries in midfield - in fact I wouldn't play either of them on the grounds that we need some pace at the back.
Ryan and Togwell midfield, behind Kearns, O'Shea, Roberts and Doyle.
And make 4-4-2 a bad memory.

Togwell simply has to play. It shouldn't even need debating.

Trouble is, he's hardly had a game all season, so how's his match fitness? Agree, he'll have to play though. We must get back to some kind of balanced system and not just hopeful formations and subs.

Big concern as the Dagenham will be athletic and we have Hird up against them

Also the bench is becoming a joke, will we be able to fill it. Strange for mega bucks Chesterfield with only 3 players out!

Agreed, he is just what we will be lacking with Morsy's absence

I fear the speed and skill of Hines and Murphy playing off the shoulder of Cooper and Evatt.
However I see both have been out since early March. Hopefully they will be still be out on Monday.

I agree but I think we'll see Ryan and Hird.

I'm sure I've seen somewhere that Murphy is out for the season, or am I thinking of someone else (I was one of the top scorers in our league and it wasn't Hogan)

It will be Ryan and Hird.

[Nitrous Oxide]

Thought Ryan wasn't back until Burton.

Wasn't that the point of him going on loan to Wycombe - to get match fitness?

Personally, much as I have not witnessed him have a good game, because he has done well at Morecambe I think we should bring Devitt back as our bench is looking thin and tired.

My team -

Lee
Darikwa, Evatt, Cooper, Smith (didn't understand his substitution yesterday)
Devitt, Ryan, O'Shea, Togwell, Kearns
Doyle

Good! We need everything we can get at the moment

[Goku]

Hines and Murphy being out is brilliant news, they had our pants down a bit last time. Come on, 3 points required.

Agreed! I thought they looked as good as anything we've seen this season. We really need the full quota of points again after yesterday - 4-4-2 anyone
