[strangelybrown]

From the D&R site:

Last minute win at Cressing Road

The Daggers came away from Braintree Town with a 2-1 victory with Tommy Tejan-Sie scoring the winner in the 89th minute.

The visitors opened the scoring on 14 minutes from Wesley Thomas. The striker notched his third of the pre season campaign cutting in from the right and unleashing a cracking shot into the net from the edge of the area.

Braintree equalised with the number 4 turning on the edge of the six yard area and shooting past Chris Lewington on 83 minutes. Six minutes later a Harlee Dean effort lookd to be going nowhere but Tejan-Sie arrived unmarked to head home.

D&R: Chris Lewington, Abu Ogogo, Alex Bentley, Scott Doe, Gavin Dayes, Tommy Tejan Sie, Stuart Thurgood, Jon Nurse, Billy Bingham (Harlee Dean 46 mins), Wesley Thomas (Daniel Charge 68 mins), Glenn Poole. Unused Subs: David Hogan, Charlie Hurlock, Graeme Montgomery.

An unsurprisingly tough match for the Iron.
After going one down early on when Braintree were pressing hard, D&R broke well & score a decent goal. The two chances for the Iron in the rest of the first half both involved Jacob Mingle. The first was a super cross from Ryan Peters but Mingle just could not connect his head properly to the ball with only the keeper to beat. The second being a free kick that forced a good save. To be fair, D&R had the upper hand in this half.
The second half again see D&R have the upper hand but with about 10 minutes to go, the Iron had a new lease of life with several good attacks & eventually we scored (scorer?) . After the Iron made three further changes, D&R took atvantage of the new defence to snatch thier winner on the stroke of full time.
Entertaining game. Good to see that the manager appears to be looking for a settle back 4 to build on.

Can anyone confirm the team? I did not know 2 of the starting line up & most of the subs.

I understand that the scorer of ou goal was trialist Kayan Kalipha (ex Dagenham and Redbridge and Concord Rangers)

[Peter]

The played well when he came on.

Like most fans i was worried when Billy left for Dartford, but Ryan Peters looks very handy at right back, his got pace and he loved the old tackles against Scumbry and Dagenham.
