So it's down the A127/A13 for our closest away game of the season, and last season's nemesis The Daggers.
Most of us will remember that they turned us over three times last season - twice in the league and also in the FA Trophy scoring eight goals without reply. Surely the time has come for some revenge!
Overall the record between the two clubs is still in our favour (7-5 on wins with 4 draws) and hopefully we’ll be a lose to stretch out lead against Daryl McMahon’s side who currently sit one place and one point above us in the league.
They had an indifferent start to the season but have been buoyed by 3 wins in the last 4 games, including an impressive 3-2 win at Chesterfield on Tuesday night.
In contrast to blues, whose first twelve games have featured just 21 goals in total (11 for and 10 against), the Daggers’ games have been goal-fests seeing fifty goals (22 for and 28 against), so who knows what the TV cameras will see on Saturday, the Daggers are probably due their first boring 0-0 draw of the season!
Kev has not been one to making sweeping changes - except when injuries force his hand - so it is likely to probably be a largely unchanged side on Saturday lunchtime. If Nathan Ralph has recovered from his latest injury, that could change things although it would be harsh to drop Jack Bridge after his last two performances at left wing-back. Marcus Dackers will probably be making his last appearance for us on loan up front and the rest of the team will probably pick itself although the case could perhaps be made for Powell, Wreh, Lomas, Fonguck and Nna Noukeu to come into the starting line up.
So who would you choose to start at Victoria Road and what do you predict the result will be?
