MATCH RATING

Entertainment 5

TOMLINSON: Stood his ground to repel Jon Nurse's double strike, but was helpless when Brian Woodall netted 7

YATES: Did very little wrong – a no-frills defensive display while posing the occasional threat in the attacking third 6

McCOMBE: Dominated in the air to contain the likes of Daggers striker Josh Scott 7

CHILVERS: Produced some well-timed challenges, and never looked hurried in possession 7

COLLINS: Made a couple of crucial interceptions to prevent Dagenham pulling trigger 7

MYRIE-WILLIAMS: Exploded into life by netting an outstanding long-range effort. Continued to pose a threat until a second-half injury led to his exit 7

GRIFFITH: The stand-in captain barked out orders and backed up his strong words with an uncompromising tackling display 6

LOFT: Endured a rare quiet day at the office as his ball-playing skills and ability to link play were left largely redundant in this League Two battle 5

TAYLOR: Was one of few players to shine early on, and produced a wing play masterclass to set up Guy Madjo's winning goal 7

MADJO: The muscular striker displayed quick feet, an assured touch and deadly instincts in front of goal to open his Vale account 7

POPE: Made an important defensive contribution, but the hard-working striker was unable to find a way past Daggers stopper Chris Lewington 7

SUBSTITUTES

RICHARDS (for Madjo, 73): Showed little sign of rustiness after injury absence, and could have scored had Chris Lewington not push aside his late drive 6

RIGG (for Myrie-Williams, 81): Never stopped running during a lively cameo 5

McDonald (for Taylor, 89): Had no time to make an impact 4

Not used: Roberts, Williamson.

DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE: Lewington, Spillane, Geohaghon, Doe, Ilesanmi, Nurse, Ogogo, Gain, Tomlin (Elito, 66), Scott, Woodall (Cunnington, 77). Not used: Hogan, Rose, Bingham.
