Interview Number Two

For the first Wednesday edition we have Daggers fan Darren Attew taking on our gruelling interview, well this is gruelling as it gets!

A little bit about yourself

Early 40's, used to live and work in London, but now living in Port Talbot. Started supporting Redbridge Forest in 1989 and followed the transition through to the present day. Being so far away, I try to get to as many home matches as I can and the more "local" away matches. Lucky next year with Hereford, Swindon, Bristol Rovers and Cheltenham not far away. Look out for my Welsh Daggers flag (as seen at Wembley thanks to Robbo!!).


Favourite game from this season ?
Beating Charlton 2-1 just made me realise how far we have come in such a short space of time (and how far Charlton have dropped!!)

Least favourite game from this season?

Losing 1-0 at home to Plymouth as I think we really needed to win our last 2 home games to be safe.

Game you're looking forward to most next season

Crawley at home, enough said!! Also look forward to Hereford away as it's my closest fixture!!

Standout Performer This Season

Has to be Romain Vincelot. Goals from midfield and I think we will be very lucky to keep him next season. If he goes, good luck to him, as long as we receive a good fee.

Player realistically you'd like to sign and why?



George Porter

 I really like JS's system of unearthing non-league players and seeing them blossom in our team. If I had a choice of a league player to sign, I would have signed Guillem Bauza who was on a free from Northampton but has since signed for Exeter. I saw a lot of him at Swansea and he would have been a great asset in League 2. I would be tempted to sign George Porter of Orient, an 18 year old signed from Cray Wanderers, who has been on loan all season back in non-league. He would be ideal especially if Greeny leaves. I would like to see Medy Elito back on a free, and also a fired-up Sol Taiwo if he is released. What about a return for Benno as well?!



Lee Goodwin &
Junior McDougal

Best away day of this season and all time.

Yeovil away was a great victory and of all time, and not including Wembley, it still has to be Charlton in the FA Cup. What a day.

Best lookalike in the team?

Due to my age, it has to be Robbo or Darren Currie!!

Early prediction for next season and why?

I would be happy enough with a top ten finish, anything higher than that would again be a fantastic achievement. If we keep Greeny and Romain, or lose only one of them, add Josh Scott back to the team and recall Tomlin, who has done well at Torquay, I would fancy us to do well.



Francis Dunnery

What makes "a Dagger" to you?

Being part of a tremendous club, where you are always welcome, where the club and fans fight against the odds to achieve so much. The fact that the players that leave always either come back or have nothing but good words about the Daggers speaks volumes.

Any last words ?

Thanks for John and the boys on another fantastic season. We came so close to defying the odds when we were written off being a ball had been kicked. Supporting the Daggers has been a amazing experience, so many highs and so few lows. Long may that continue.

Thanks to Darren for taking part and we'll be back on Sunday for another interview. Remember if you wish to take part email, daggersfbpage@hotmail.co.uk and we'll send you the questions. At the moment we have 5 weeks worth of material, but this feature will go on so long as we have willing participants!
