Should have won their Goalkeeper was a flapper and we did not test him enough in my book.

As somebody was commenting not for the first time in recent weeks the Daggers of August and September would have taken them apart, something is simply not clicking at moment.

Somehow I think the replay suits both sides financially so not surprised it ended like it did.

Romaine is busy but not a goal threat. Whitely looks low on confidence and has stopped running at defenders, possibly in part because we are lacking the Cheek/Ferrier pairing making space for him.

That's not true.

I know of about 15/20 people who went because it was Dagenham v Orient.

If there was 2,500 there how we can fit in 5000+ I will never know. 900 in the away end only 1600 in the rest of the stadium? Sounds a bit fishy to me.

Been ages since we’ve had that many be I do remember it being a bit of a sardine situation when we had Morecambe in the play offs which was around 6000.
Wasn’t as packed in the Sieve towards Bury Road, and obviously there was still the cordoned off bit by the TBS. Family stand didn’t seem to be open either, so could have comfortably fit in another 1000 I reckon, but definitely was more than 2500.

Cheek was due to start training last week, Our recovery time for players is nothing short of a joke.

If he started training on Monday, I wouldn't have risked him in a cup tie 5 days later tbh

He had already started training just not with first team. Was due to start full training with the first team last Monday. Given our options would of thought he might have been on the bench. The whole Injured player scenario is quite frankly embarrassing. Is Kandi still alive?
