Preview - Notts County
The Daggers travel to League Two champions Notts County on Saturday with both sides still looking for their first Npower League one point. County come into the game having lost their two previous games 0-3 whilst the Daggers lost their opening game 0-2 at Hillsborough and had last Saturdays game postponed.
That week off from action has given Danny Green and Gavin Tomlin time to recover from their knocks which kept them out of the MK Dons Carling Cup tie.
This will be the fourth time the Daggers have travelled to Meadow Lane but the first meeting of the two sides in League One. The last three visits have seen the Daggers beaten twice and victors once. Their first visit in September 2007 ended in a narrow one goal defeat. Substitute Neil Mackenzie scored the winning goal seven minutes from time. The next visit in April 2009 saw three superb strikes; two from Matt Ritchie and one from Sam Saunders seal a 3-0 victory to the delight of the 382 traveling Daggers fans. Last season's game, a year ago tomorrow, saw the home side triumph 3-0. Two goals on the stroke of half time from Lee Hughes and Karl Hawley put the Magpies on their way with Johnny Jackson adding a third in the 63rd minute.
Two players have played for both the Magpies and the Daggers. Ian Richardson started his career with the Daggers and moved to Birmingham City before signing for County where he spent nine years. He is now involved in their Football in the Community programme. The other is a loanee for both sides - Matt Ritchie. Matt is currently back at Portsmouth but spent most of the 2008/9 season at Dagenham and the first half of the 2009/10 season at Meadow Lane.
The Daggers fans will, as usual, be housed in the Jimmy Sirrel Stand, located on one side of the ground.
Before the game there will be a minutes applause for 16-year old Notts County fan Terri Sheppard who tragically died last week
