"We started the game very well, had chances, didn't take them - looked decidedly shaky at the back.
"It cost us goals and put us out of the game in a 20 minute period where they were quite ruthless.
"It's happened before that we've had good possession, good chances and good play in the first 10 to 15 minutes and not taken our chances. It's a problem for us.
"We've got thinking to do about Saturday and then the window opens again. Loans aren't always the best thing, you've got to keep a continuity and a unified feel about the squad."
Dagenham & Redbridge coach Warren Hackett told BBC Radio London:

"We just really tried to stick to a simple game plan.
"We're bottom of the league. We took a chance to change things and it worked for us this time.
"Apart from maybe a couple of lapses in the first 10 to 15 minutes, we were quite resolute and looked quite solid."
