DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE got back to winning ways in fine style with a 3-0 triumph over Lincoln City on Saturday.
Here is how we rated the players.
GK: Tony Roberts - 7 - won't have an easy game than that this season, with only Richard Butcher's shot warming his gloves in the second half. Kicking was slightly suspect at times though.
RB: Scott Doe - 7 - another solid showing from Doe, who kept Lincoln quiet whenever they foraged on the wing.
LB: Scott Griffiths - 9 - could have ended up with his second goal of the season, but his lob bounced narrowly over. Storming display though, both in defence and attack.
CB: Mark Arber - 8 - won everything in the air and also claimed an assist for the third goal, looks very calm and assured in everything he does.
CB: Will Antwi - 8 - proving an excellent signing even though the season is still in its infancy, his partnership with Arber gets better by the game.
RW: Danny Green - 9 - cracking finish for Daggers second, curling a peach into the top corner, always looks to run at his full back too, which is a pleasure to watch.
CM: Peter Gain - 8 - back in his accustomed role in the centre of midfield, and good to see him snapping into tackles and winning the battle.
CM: Stuart Thurgood - 9 - STAR MAN - where he finds his energy from who knows where. Runs and runs, but there is a touch of class about him too.
LW: Jon Nurse - 9 - two goals was a fine return after a recall to the team, wants to play upfront, but didn't do his chances of staying in the side as a winger any harm at all.
CF: Josh Scott - 9 - a powerful and intelligent performance from Josh, who seems to have everything at the moment. Proving an ideal folly for Benson.
CF: Paul Benson - 7 - not much can be said about Benson's miss, as it will give him nightmares, doubt he could do that again if he tried!.
SUBS
Graeme Montgomery (Green 83) - 6 - he will be hoping for more of a run out against MK Dons in midweek, as once again, the game was all over.
Billy Bingham (Nurse 88) - 6 - again, no time to show what he could do, but his Football League debut, and was naturally delighted.
SUBS NOT USED: Chris Lewington, Alex Bentley, Abu Ogogo, Wes Thomas, Anwar Uddin.
