Walsall v Dagenham and Redbridge

Super Sub Grigg gives Walsall needed win.


Will Grigg late strike hands Walsall a much needed win of fellow relegation candidates Dagenham and Redbridge

It took 80 minutes for Walsall to break the deadlock on a wet and cold night at the Bescot stadium, but when Mathew Gill fed in Jon Macken, the experienced striker was able to turn and find a waiting Grigg (on as a sub for Alex Nicholls), who fired home to grab a deserved 3 points.

Macken had plenty of chances to open Walsalls account and when the aging striker was unable to beat Tony Roberts one-on-one it looked like the visitors were going to hold onto a scrappy share of the points

Walsall should have had 4 or 5, while Dagenham couldn't force a single shot on target giving Walsall keeper James Walker an easy night between the sticks as Walsall move to one win away from the drop zone. The Daggers will have to hope that there remaining 3 games in hand will bring them the points needed to avoid the slip down to League two
