Dagenham & Redbridge 1 – 0 Crystal Palace

A new look Crystal Palace side took to the field at Dagenham only to lose by a goal to nil to a competent and efficient Dagenham side. Dagenham deserved their victory but Palace looked out of sorts as new strikers Conner Wickham and Patrick Bamford looked to strike up an understanding. Indeed Dagenham took the lead when a shot back across his goal from Chambers only for Mc Clean to slot home and give the daggers the lead.

Palace went close when Chung Yong Lee went incredibly close for the eagles only for McClean to slot home and give the daggers the lead. Only to be denied by a great save from the Daggers keeper Cousins who also saved well from Bamford and Wickham. Palace looked good but Dagenham was solid.

 Quintessentially Dagenham Challenged palace for supremacy but Alex McCarthy a new Acquisition from QPR was on reasonably hot form to keep Dagenham at bay til they scored midway through the second half. Palace had the pace of Sully KaiKai on the wing and looked fundamentally like a cracking winger and an able deputy to the injured Yannick Bolasie. Indeed for a league two club 

Dagenham was excellent but both Zavon Hines and Frasier Campbell were taken off injured. Jodi Jones hit the Crossbar for Dagenham whilst Jamie Cureton shot narrowly wide, in a game Dagenham and Redbridge won 1 – 0 .


On Saturday Dagenham kick off the season at Leyton Orient in a London Derby, Whilst Palace Kick off away to Norwich City
