Daggers boss Burnett makes a great transition

Replacing John Still after nine years at Dagenham and Redbridge looked an unenviable task but Wayne Burnett is already stamping his mark in east London.

Still, who guided the club into the Football League, left to join Luton in February which resulted in his No2, Burnett (right), taking charge on an interim basis before being appointed permanently in the summer.

Dagenham are just one point outside the play-offs ahead of tomorrow’s home game against Cheltenham.

Forward Rhys Murphy, who joined in July, said: “It must have been difficult following John but Wayne has his own way of doing things, which I am told is quite different.

“Everyone knows how he wants to play and we’re all enjoying playing under him. We’re surprising a few at the moment. We would like to think we can be around the play-offs.”
