MATCH RATING

Entertainment 6

ANYON: Looked like he was impeded when Dagenham scored their goal, and afterwards produced a couple of neat saves to keep his side in the hunt 6

STOCKLEY: Felt harshly treated in receiving a second booking, which marred a tireless display working up and down the right flank 6

SLATER: Sometimes a little indecisive, but generally stood firm and produced a couple of vital challenges 6

McCOMBE: Mr Reliable produced another solid performance at the heart of the defence 6

COLLINS: Willing to cover his fellow defenders and is already looking like a shrewd loan signing 7

RICHMAN: Will have been pleased with his first-half showing when he set up the equaliser, before hobbling off in the second period 6

GRIFFITH: Tried his best to dominate, but needs more support in the engine room, especially in the creative department 6

DAVIDSON: Showed flashes of attacking flair and was unlucky not to find the corner of the net with a first-half grass-cutter 5

DODDS: Flittered in and out of the game, but again suffered from a lack of service, although he tried to create from set-pieces 5

RODGERS: Had a couple of efforts on goal which got snuffed out, but never looked threatening, despite offering his usual committed display 5

RICHARDS: Scored the equaliser and should have done better with a late chance after breaking through 6

SUBSTITUTES

HOWLAND (Davidson, 57): Difficult match to influence, but displayed some nice touches 5

PERRY (Richman, 75): Tried his best to get involved, but had little opportunity to impress with his side on the back foot for much of the closing stages 5

PROSSER (Rodgers, 81): Thrown on after Stockley was dismissed and didn't let team-mates down 6

Not used: Martin, Glover.

DAGENHAM: Roberts, Okuonghae, Uddin, Arber, Griffiths, Saunders, Taiwo, Gain, Nurse (Graham 78), Benson, Strevens. Subs Not Used: Thompson, Boardman, Southam, Nwokeji.
