Dag & Red preview: Lost four of last six
Dagenham & Redbridge made the trip to bottom-of-the-table Ebbsfleet United on New Year's Day and managed to come away with all three points.
The pair went in at the interval goalless but Shiloh Remy fired the visitors in front with his first goal of the season in the 55th minute. A goal from Jakob Hessenthaler 10 minutes later made sure of the victory for Lewis Young's men.
That win put Dag & Red in 15th position heading into the Forest Green game on 31 points with 24 games played.
Predicted lineup: Justham (GK), Ling, Kalambayi, N'Guessan, Mahorn, Hessenthaler, Rees, Phipps, Hill, Remy & Stephenson
