Match Preview | Dagenham & Redbridge V Barnet FC

Barnet make the short trip to Dagenham and Redbridge looking to continue our run of form. 

So, What’s the Buzz? 

With 10 points from a possible 12, The Bees are league leaders going into matchday five. Ahead on goals scored, Dean Brennan’s side will want to pull away from Chesterfield and Solihull Moors, who are also on 10 points.  

The crowd at last Saturday’s 2-0 win over Woking witnessed Zak Brunt’s brilliant brace, already equalling open-play tally from last year, which he’ll hope to continue at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.

Opponent Report 

On one point, Dagenham and Redbridge sit bottom of the National League table. Combined with multiple unfortunate injuries, The Daggers seem to be having some teething problems following a big summer clear-out, offering a potential explanation for their poor form.  

That said, the last time Barnet beat Dagenham and Redbridge was in 2020, with the last two away results being 7-3 and 5-4 wins for The Daggers, offering some eventful games to say the least. 

In the Dugout: Ben Strevens 

During his playing career, the Dagenham and Redbridge manager made 195 league appearances for Barnet, scoring 42 goals in between 1999 and 2006. Having played for 11 clubs, including Brentford and Wycombe Wanderers, Strevens had two stints at The Daggers before eventually retiring at Eastleigh. 

He then went on to manage Eastleigh between 2018 and 2022 before moving to Essex, taking over Dagenham and Redbridge in March.
