DARYL McMahon praised the character of his table-topping Dagenham & Redbridge side as they came from behind twice to claim a share of the spoils against Wealdstone.
WILL WRIGHT’S exquisite free-kick equaliser set Dagenham & Redbridge on the path to all three points on the road after John Rooney had given the Hatters an early lead.
THE suspense was gripping but ultimately the denouement of the movie – or rather the live stream – was not what was wanted in Hollywood by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, the actors who have become Wrexham’s new owners.
Chesterfield welcomed fans into the Technique Stadium for the first time in 445 days and the home fans were not left disappointed as two goals from Rowe cemented victory for the Spireites.
The slight compensation for their manager Daryl McMahon is that with his side’s latest victory, their seventh in eight games, they may well also have dashed Halifax Town’s hopes of making the top seven too.
Two goals apiece from Matt Robinson and Paul McCallum, along with a deserved goal for the energetic captain Angelo Balanta, secured a sixth win on the bounce for the Daggers.
Daggers made it six wins on the bounce at Wealdstone yesterday with strikers Paul McCallum and Angelo Balanta brimming with confidence and the squad as a whole putting in the kind of consistent performances that McMahon always felt they were capable of.
Dagenham & Redbridge cruised to a comfortable win against Barnet, their fourth on the trot, with goals either side of the interval, from ex-Bee Paul McCallum and Matt Robinson, hinting at the gulf that separated the sides on the day.
Goals from Paul McCallum, Angelo Balanta, and Matt Robinson handed the Daggers a third successive win in a game they never really had to get out of second gear.
Jordan Cranston’s early strike had put the away side ahead before goals from George Saunders, Angelo Balanta and Matt Robinson put the Daggers on the path to victory despite a late strike from Adam Rooney after Tyrone Williams had been sent off.
Chesterfield manager James Rowe and Dagenham & Redbridge forward Angelo Balanta have claimed the honours in the National League’s monthly awards for March.
If only they had a striker in red-hot form like Michael Cheek, the Bromley match winner, then it’s likely Dagenham would still have something to play for.
Balanta struck his sixth league goal of the season ten minutes from time to ensure Daryl McMahon’s side kept their hopes of a late push for the play-offs alive while bouncing back from Tuesday’s defeat to Hartlepool
