OK Phipps did start but went off Injured

Onnariase took a nasty knock
against orient and was wearing head bandage, looked injured still and not match fit hence his poor performance today...

After such a bad start a share of the points isn’t such a bad return but I thought we had the initiative to put the game to bed before their 4th goal, I’m not convinced on Nunn at the moment, his slide rule pass for their second was unbelievable, a few poor performances today that include McQueen he was working hard in the first but just didn’t seem in the game.
Last 10 minutes of the first half and all but 5 of the second we looked like a team that wanted it, a proper Daggers performance, we need more consistency to get the results we need to stay safe.

Games certainly like this don't pop up too often and definitely more strain on the ole ticker, but we must praise the boys how they kicked back into it so well especially first 20 to 30 minutes of the second half it could quite easily have gone to a 5-3 during that period and we'd have sealed it, hope we don't see any more of those give away's that put them well in top and sure Luke Gerard must be throwing a few tea cups. Just had a funny feeling the way in the latter stages Wood were breaking strong again we just wouldn't hold on and after they did get it to four four I was pretty worried that they would sneak it as it returned in their favour. After three down and grab a point at the end we can be still be fairly elated. Phipps was missed, McQueen was fairly backstage, best I've seen Liam Gordon in red today and still wondering when and where does Bellamy get a game?

Liam still has a huge amount to learn about positioning and defending; too often he backs off until the player in possession is in the box.

I cannot wait to have Robinson and Phipps back, because Wright and Harfield are not good enough to play midfield in this division.

Outstanding comeback, the fact that we walked out slightly disappointed just to draw having been down and out after 35 minutes is a testament to that. However, having to score five goals just to win against an average mid-table side is far from good enough and our defending was shockingly bad at times today. Thankfully when we had nothing to lose we pulled out an unbelievable comeback and it's a big shame that we couldn't hold out at a time where we were quite comfortable. All credit to the boys though and it was a great spectacle but the hesitancy, fragility and overall weakness is a worry.

By-By wave from Wilkinson as he left the field?

Well his loan does end on Monday so that's probably it for Wilkinson

Brilliant if he stays, but if the rumours about his attitude were the reason he couldn't get a game higher up the leagues, the last couple of months should show there is a player who can def do a job at League One or Two level. We aren't the most creative club in this division let alone higher up the leagues and he has been a huge performer.

Liam Gordon makes the National League team of the week.... As a striker. Doh!

Relive Saturday’s eight goal thriller that saw Gordon strike twice as The Daggers came from three goals down to earn a point against The Wood.
