Match Preview - Dagenham and Redbridge
The Silkmen are in the middle of a frantic run of games which has seen 10 matches in just 35 days in a run which has seen matches against all of the top our, including Bury twice, as well as other teams in the promotion hunt.
Despite the side also being hit hard with injuries the tribute paid on the pitch has been three battling performances. The lads have shown tremendous strength of character to have picked up seven points in those three matches since the death of Keith Alexander.
And the weekend is no different with a long journey down to London to face 12th placed Dagenham and Redbridge who sit three points adrift of the top seven.
Current Form - Last Six. WWDDLD
Dagenham's season to date peaked in the middle of January when they beat Crewe to lift into third place. But a disastrous run of four straight defeats followed which dropped them to 12th place. This ended with a win against Bournemouth, but the rebound was short lived as it was followed by a defeat on the road at Rochdale. This brings us into our last six matches as a 3-2 away win at Aldershot looked to have got them back on track for the play-offs.
A home win over Grimsby installed them back into the top ten at the end of February, but this was their last win for four matches as trips to Torquay and Bury ended in draws before a return home brought Rotherham as the visitors who left with a 1-0 win. They played Lincoln City midweek and were held to a 1-1 draw.
