DAGENHAM and Redbridge boss John Still insists the mission remains the same after the team’s defeat to Gillingham: win three more games.

The Daggers have just four matches remaining in which to transform themselves from League Two overachievers to League One promotion candidates.

As the season enters the final straight, Still’s men are on the shoulder of the leading pack.

A comprehensive 3-1 win over Aldershot on Saturday moved them into contention for a play-off place, but Easter Monday’s 2-1 reverse against high-flying Gillingham has pegged them back.

They now sit on 59 points, four behind Chesterfield in seventh place, but, crucially, they have a game in hand over most of their promotion-chasing rivals.

And Still has not lost his appetite for the fight, bullishly stating that his team are very much in with a shout of gatecrashing the play-off places.

“Nothing’s changed. We’ve got to win three games from the four we have left and the way we’re playing, we’re capable of doing that,” Still said, after seeing Dennis Oli’s late goal rob his team of a valuable point at the Priestfield Stadium.

While the Victoria Road side are still in the play-off mix, it is growing increasingly likely that there is just one place up for grabs, as Gillingham, in sixth, have galloped into a six-point lead over Chesterfield.

Shrewsbury, on 62 points, Bradford (61 points), as well as Morecambe (59) and Lincoln City (58) constitute the rest of the group that are lunging for the line.

However, none of those teams have a harder run-in than the Daggers.

Saturday’s game, at home to Bradford, is a must-win for the local side.

A win for the Bantams would send them five points clear of Still’s men, leaving them with a mountain to climb in the final three games.

A home clash with runaway league leaders Brentford will follow on Tuesday, while the team will close out the season with a trip to Notts County, before welcoming Shrewsbury to Dagenham in a potentially decisive final game of the season.

Goals from Matt Ritchie, Paul Benson and a Sam Saunders penalty brushed aside Aldershot at Victoria Road on Saturday.
