The Daggers weren't at the races in this game. The decision to play a near first-team may or may not have helped as people tried to save themselves for the upcoming play-offs. It was a pre-season friendly attitude from the home side as they didn't close down, mark or make any physical impact upon the game. Yeovil are undoubtedly a good side, but the Daggers made it easy for them to pick their passes from midfield, hence the scoreline.

The goals came as the defence went AWOL, uncharacteristically, on several occasions. The first goal came from a cross to the back post where unmarked Jackson headed back to the diving Gall who dispatched in trademark fashion.

The Daggers made a brief fist of it, and Paul Terry should have got more power in a header from a left wing cross, and some other long drives were not sufficiently accurate to trouble Collis. Just before the break, Gothard punched a cross away over the head of Jackson and the referee gave the penalty. Gothard saved to his right.

The start of the second half let Jackson in early as Gall had an age to pass to him, and he had time to look up and pick his spot before any defender came within 5 yards of him.

Just over an hour gone and amazingly offside-looking Gall and Jackson went through, before Gall passed to the even-further-offside-looking Jackson and he easily dispatched the ball into the back of the net. Minutes later and Jackson had converted a right wing cross to get his hat-trick and it looked like it could be a pick-the-scoreline from Yeovil's point of view as the Daggers still couldn't manage to labour themselves into any sort of effort.

As the game fizzled out, McIndoe could have added with a left foot volley from the edge of the box, and Danny Hill shot over in a rare Daggers attack.

Another good celebratory win for Yeovil, although the Daggers made it easy for them, it will almost certainly be a very different team in 'red white and pink' come the play-offs.
