Bas fire lights up Daggers

Don't write off League One strugglers Dagenham and Redbridge just yet.

Though only 2,140 were in attendance at Victoria Road as they secured back-to-back wins for the first time this season, John Still's men are hitting form at just the right time and have now moved out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

Colchester manager John Ward was far from impressed with the quality of the match and said: "It was a soft performance. We've been emroiled in a really poor game of football from both teams and we've been the poorest of the two. We got what we deserved, which was nothing."

But that won't worry Daggers, for whom big Bas Savage swooped for his first goal since October to lift them above the drop zone.
