Still impressed by Cherries' character
DAGENHAM & Redbridge boss John Still is tipping Cherries to stay the course in the race for League Two promotion. Still's charges impressed during a 0-0 draw at Dean Court on Tuesday, the stalemate trimming Cherries' lead at the top to a point and seeing Daggers drop to fourth. But with just four points separating the top five and the chasing pack not too far behind, Still is predicting an intriguing battle for the ultimate prize. It's tight at the top and there are a lot of good teams up there, said Still. I think nine or 10 are going to vie for the top-seven places. No result surprises me. With the greatest respect, we probably should have beaten Bournemouth and Rochdale but didn't win either. The top nine or 10 are all capable of beating each other and I think the pack will be shuffled before the end of the season. It might not be the best teams that secure the top places, it might be the most resilient. The table is certainly taking shape. For some, the transfer window is going to make a big difference. The big hitters like Rotherham, Chesterfield and Notts County may be able to bring in some good players. Then again, they may not have some of the spirit that some of the smaller clubs have got. We will have to wait and see. Bournemouth have every chance and the table doesn't lie. In my opinion, the teams with real character will probably stay there and Bournemouth looked a decent outfit to me.
