After a run of nine consecutive league defeats, League Two strugglers Dagenham & Redbridge earned a well deserved point away to Burton Albion to halt the run of defeats which stretched back to the beginning of October.
The recently relegated Daggers have had a tough start to life back in League Two after their solitary campaign in the third tier of English Football, but assistant boss Terry Harris feels the draw will act as a kick start to their season. Speaking to the club’s website Harris said, “Yes, we are still in trouble, but we have 20 plus games to go so we’ve got time. We’ve had a terrible couple of months but we are coming out of that now.”Along with the hard fought draw, the Daggers have endured success in the FA Cup and last Tuesday’s penalty shootout victory over League One Walsall was seen by many as the beginning of a run which will see the Daggers climb the table. Captain Scott Doe said, “The last week has been good for us. We beat Walsall and have dominated again today. I can feel a lot of confidence in the team because of these results and the only way is up now.”
Despite the Essex-based club's precarious position, propping up the League Two table, the recent successes on the field are sure to give fans optimism heading into the New Year.
