That is Dagenham's modus operandi, ie kill a game off by half time and make moderately defensive substitutions from the 55th minute of the game to secure the points. And it works, as it did against us today.

Proof you say:

Home - Barrow - Dagenham -2-0 up at half time, Dagenham win 2-1, strikers substituted in the 65th, 82nd and 88th minute and a defender, midfielder and 198cm centreforward brought on late when the score 2-1.

Away - Boreham Wood - Dagenham 2-1 at half time, win by that score. strikers substituted in the 68th, 73rd and 87th minutes with the 198 cm cf brought on as well as a defender and a midfielder.

Home - Ebbsfleet - Dagenham 2-0 at half time, win 3-1. Strikers substituted in the 69th and 72nd minutes and substitute striker and centreforward brought on.

Home -Bromley - Dagenham 3-1 at half time and win 5-1. Strikers substituted in the 52nd and 77th minute and big centre forward and striker brought on.

Home-Town - Dagenham - 3-0 at half time, 3-1 full time, striker substituted n the 77th minute for a midfielder.

Notice a pattern here??

You could also add:

Home - Sutton - Dagenham 1-1 at half time and lose 1-2 to a 90 plus 1 minute winner to Sutton. 2 strikers subbed in the 63rd and one in the 85th and a striker, a defender brought on in the 63rd minute and a midfielder in the 85th.

Sometimes you have to play horses for courses.

One of the results quoted is wrong.
Given that we play at a high tempo with a lot of forwards we're always likely to substitute forwards more than any other position.
We don't generally make defensive substitutions though - they're normally as close to like for like as is possible.

Good result against Ebbsfleet though

Just read the thread. This royals1992 guy is a bit of a clown. Claiming all sorts of random "facts".

[Kevin]

I heard a rumour that the majority of our substitutions are made by substituting a player that had previously been playing in the match, for a player that had been on the bench as a substitute.

:shock:

Surely given the detailed analysis of the game and our tactics by Halifax fans the way to combat us is very simple... don't be rubbish and go three nil behind against us??!! Is that too simplistic a way of looking at things?

[Mark]

Agree. They left us the opportunity to make defensive substitutions like bringing on midfielder Bloomfield.

Was it him who warned to look out for Lokko in the last 5 minutes of the first half? That one made me chuckle. It was like the woman in Airplane "Jim never vomits after dinner at home."

[Adrian]

I've heard that outside of minutes 40 to 45 we will. It sum a corner or free kick at Lokko and if the ball endsnup near him he will miss on purpose.

Not always , they sometimes replace players who do little more then run around a lot aka Gavin Tomlin. What say you Arnu
