We've absolutely had it... I don't see how there is any suggestion otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the only games we win between now and the end of the season are Ebbsfleet and Maidenhead... Even these will be a struggle with no real goal threat currently. You don't accidentally get to mid-March having not won a game since New Year's Day in a league like ours, and to expect everyone below us to just lose every game was always generous, at best.

Fylde have two wins in four, Boston one loss in five and Wealdstone three wins in five. We only need two of the four teams directly behind us currently (ignore Ebbsfleet) to drop us in to 21st and only Maidenhead have played 36 games currently... Boston and Wealdstone have two full games in hand.

The only real hope for Boston to go down, especially after the way they dismantled us in short order, is because they were so cut adrift with Ebbsfleet a month or so ago.

Over the remaining fixtures, many of them including ours, involve games between struggling teams so they will be taking points off each other. These will then be classed as six pointers so they will be even more important to win. This I’m sure will be uppermost in each teams mind.

I would be happy to see us get past 45 points come the end of season, on current 2025 form... Even second from bottom in the league only requires 12 or 13 points in ten games to get past this. I have us below only Maidenhead and Ebbsfleet going in to the Solihull game as I just can't see where the goals come from to keep us up, even if we battle hard against the Barnet's of the league.

We’re getting relegated, anyone that thinks we’re not needs to go to the funny farm with Dan ‘I know sweet FA about football’ Hall.

Even with Ebbsfleet I can’t see where the next win comes from. This is the worst Dagenham side I have ever seen, and the players as individuals aren’t even that bad. The coach, the SD and the owners have just completely killed the spirit here. We are down. Accept it. People won’t like it but it’s getting to the point where I do really wish ill upon those doing this to us, such is the callousness of their negligence. They need to be pushed out asap.

With still ten games to play I don't know for sure how the relegation fight will play out anymore than the rest of you. However, while it's statistically possible none of the bottom clubs can be relegated yet, we shall have to see how it pans out.

What you state is of course true. However, those of us without rose tinted glasses have looked at the table and seen that all of the teams in the relegation fight are managing to pick up wins. In the last six games: Braintree (W3, D2, L1), Woking (W2, D4), Aldershot (W3, D1, L2), Fylde (W2, D2, L2), Wealdstone (W3, L3), Maidenhead (W1, D1, L4), Boston (W3, D2, L1). Our last six are D3 and L3. The odd draw will not be enough, we must start winning some games. I still think we can do it but it needs to start on Saturday.

To add to that the teams around have made moves on their managers or helped their current managers with some good signings and we’ve don’t neither. As sad as it is we’re going down and unless the owners step in with some very good last minute players one being specifically a very good striker we’re done for.

Our last 12 games form is worse than Ebbsfleet’s, says it all really.
