Head2Head & Team News - Dagenham & Red

Last updated : 26 October 2007 By Deano
The Millers will travel to Victoria Road on a five match unbeaten run, but Mark Robins has a few injury concerns.

Chris O'Grady (right) is still very much 50-50 after 14 stitches in his head wound from last weekends win over Morecambe, Ryan Taylor returned from his loan spell at Burton with an jnjured foot but did mange a reserve run out in the 1-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday earlier this week. There may also be a suprise inclusion for Pablo Mills, possibly as a midfielder as he returned to the club from Crawley and played in the same game.

Mills could be drafted in in place of Danny Harrison to partner Mark Hudson, who is set for his first league start in a Millers shirt after Marcus Bean was recalled by Blackpool.

Elsewhere, Andy Todd will probably continue amongst the substitutes and Derek Holmes is out injured with a broken foot, leaving Robbo with a striking option of selecting two from Jamie Yates, Marc Newsham, Tom Cahill and if needed last weeks emergency substitue Ryan Cresswell.

Daggers boss John Still has only seen his side win once at home this term, scoring only six goals. With the Millers drawing four of their six away games already, it maybe worth a punt on a 1-1 down at the bookies.

Regards the home side's team news, Still told Daggers online: "We did manage to get a friendly during the week to get our injured players on the road back to recovery and we were fortunate enough to give ninety minutes to Jon Boardman, Magnus and Richard Graham, three players who have been missing a little bit with injury. Also Solomon Taiwo who, although not injured, has just joined the ranks and the full time training is taking its toll and we were able to include him for a full ninety minutes.

"Unfortunately Dave Rainford wasn't quite ready from the knock that he has which kept him out at Chesterfield. He has been able to train for a couple of days this week and could well be available for selection on Saturday afternoon. Definite non starters are Jon Nurse who is well on his way to recovery and we're looking forward to him resuming full training this coming week. Sam Saunders is probably a week behind Jon and Lee Goodwin as we all know is a long term injury and we are looking nearer Christmas for him. "


Both teams will be lead out by the kick it out flag as the get racism out of football campaign continues into its second week.

As its the first meeting ever between the two, we have no head to head this week, so here's the league table for you to digest.
