Stat Attack: Notts County vs. Dagenham & Redbridge

Notts County and Dagenham & Redbridge have met just nine times, and all the meetings have come in the last nine years.

The first clash was back on 15 September 2007, when the Magpies beat the Daggers 1-0 at Meadow Lane in League Two.

Last time round, on 29 September 2015, the East London side drew 1-1 against Notts at Victoria Road in the league.

Notts are just ahead in terms of head-to-head, with four wins to their opponents’ three, plus two draws.

Based in Dagenham, in the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham, the club was formed in 1992 through a merger between Redbridge Forest and Dagenham.

The club can trace back its ancestry to 1881 as Redbridge Forest was an amalgamation of three of the amateur game's most famous clubs, Ilford, Leytonstone and Walthamstow Avenue.

Between the clubs they won the FA Trophy once, FA Amateur Cup seven times, Isthmian League 20 times, Athenian League six times, Essex Senior Cup 26 times and London Senior Cup 23 times.

Tony Roberts, the club’s record appearance holder with 507 games over 10 years, is the only goalkeeper in the history of the FA Cup to have scored a goal from open play. He netted against Basingstoke Town in October 2001, a fourth qualifying round.

The highest ever scoreline in the first leg of a play off game is now held by Dagenham & Redbridge, who defeated Morecambe 6–0 on 16 May 2010, although they could not build on this afterwards with a 2–1 defeat in the second leg.

The Daggers also hold the record for highest scoring penalty shootout in professional football history, defeating Leyton Orient in the second round of the Football League Trophy 14–13, 27 penalties in total, on 8 September 2011. 

This was later equalled, but not bettered, by Liverpool who beat Middlesbrough in a League Cup penalty shoot out by the same score in September 2014.

In addition, they hold the joint highest aggregate score in a League Cup match, with 12 – On 12 August 2014, Dagenham & Redbridge drew 6–6 after extra time at home with Brentford in the first round of the League Cup. They went on to lose 4–2 on penalties.

--

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has no new problems as his search for a first home win in charge continues against Dagenham & Redbridge.

The Magpies fell to theit third straight defeat on Saturday, but the Scot has plenty of options at his disposal should he wish to make changes, with the likes of Alan Smith, Liam Noble, Graham Burke, Thierry Audel and Izale McLeod all starting on the bench at Plymouth Argyle.

Defender Scot Bennett, meanwhile, has missed the last four games with injury and he will be checked on once more.

Rock-bottom Dagenham, who are without a win since January 2 and on a five-game losing streak, remain without a trio of players.

Midfielders Luke Guttridge and Frankie Raymond have missed three and two matches respectively due to ankle injuries that are set to keep them out for another month.

Forward Zavon Hines, meanwhile, is a long-term absentee with a knee issue.
