We have the rarity of an unchanged lineup this week. Hopefully a similar result too as we welcome a Solihull side that have enjoyed an upturn in form under their new manager Mark Yates, who took over shortly after we won 1-0 at their place last month.

Justham; Vilhete, Johnson, Clark, Wright, Saunders; Jones, Sagaf, Robinson; Balanta, McCallum

Excellent week for the Daggers...although I'm sure someone will find some negativity from somewhere.
Really enjoyed those two games.

A really tough battle against a tall and tough team who were so much better than Eastleigh, the team learnt quick how to deal with the giant up front and came away with a deserved second win scoring 3 goals this time, it was difficult to pick a best player because once again they all put in a shift including McCullum who was forced to play at the back and he was awsome, perhaps he could become a reliant defender for us, this vast team improvement shows that they are playing for each other and the manager, so lets give them some credit from now on and realise that this team if kept together could do great things for next season .

Great to see us adding goals to our play finally. Look how little focus there is on the two sloppy ones we conceded now that we've got a few at the other end to talk about!

Like the look of this midfield at the moment, Jones as a holding player especially at home could be a good plan as he is much more comfortable on the ball than Rance. The other two box to box guys are doing great work, thought Sagaf was excellent yesterday.

Thought we dropped back a little bit too willingly after the red card, we stopped getting people up with McCallum and then he himself came deeper and deeper to get the ball. We invited a bit of pressure and without those two excellent blocks (Clark and Johnson I think) we could have snatched a draw from the jaws of victory. Nerves to be expected I suppose given our season.

Think the last couple show just how vital the wing backs are in this system, and good ones don't grow on trees. More energy in those positions has given us a lot more going forward even if the delivery isn't always brilliant. Weston is a great player and created all our chances when he played but he can't get up and down for 90. Difficult for Daryl when everyone is fit!
