David Tutonda made a return to first-team action last Tuesday as a second-half substitute and will again be in contention this afternoon.

One to watch: Joe Quigley

22-year-old forward who wears the number 15 for the Daggers. Joe’s career began with Bournemouth where he would enjoy a number of loan spells away from the club.

Most Notably, Quigley represented the likes of Torquay United, Wrexham, Gillingham and Newport County.

He made his first permanent move to Maidstone United in 2018 before further spells with Bromley, Eastbourne Borough and Havant and Waterlooville.

Joe signed for the Daggers this season and has netted four goals so far this season.

Talk

Darren Currie: “I expect a different type of game this afternoon. Dagenham are on a brilliant run and that alone tell you it’s going to be a tough game because they’re hard to beat.

“I want us to get back to handling the ball, creating chances and taking control of the game.”
