‘Cheers, thank you,’ ‘best wins of the season’ – Hartlepool United fans praise Dagenham & Redbridge following 2-1 Good Friday win

Goals from Rhys Oates and Gavan Holohan cancelled out Matthew Robinson’s goal for the visitors and helped Pools continue their fine run of form in the National League.

It’s now 12 unbeaten for Dave Challinor’s side, who have also won 10 out of their last 11 games at The Vic.

They currently sit second in the table, two points behind leaders Sutton United who have three games in hand, six points ahead of Torquay United in third and 16 points inside the play-off places with nine games remaining.

Here’s how Pools fans reacted to another three points on Twitter…

@AndyMcCormack14 commented: “Good hard fought win and a BIG 3pts against a tough side who have matched up well over our two recent games. They should definitely be higher in the league based on their showing against us.

@hartlepool22 tweeted: “A very good win against a very organised team.”

@jb4pools praised the Daggers: “For me that's one of the best wins of the season. @Dag_RedFC were very good all over the park, constant press and intensity for 90 minutes. Great win lads!”

@AlanJac47649719 said: “Hats off to the Daggers, they give us one hell of a game. Now we need other teams to perform like that against Sutton!”

@PhilEames3 paid tribute to Pools’ opening goalscorer: “Great start to the bank holiday weekend. On this weekend of all weekends let us all Hail to the King Rhys Oates.”

@Ryannx97 wrote: “Good win against a solid side! Gave us a proper game home and away. 12 unbeaten going into Monday! UTP!”

@leeconnor9 hailed Ben Killip’s performance in goal: “Massive 3 points, onto Monday. And we’ve got the best keeper in the league hands down.”

@StellingRobbie said: “Fantastic. Holohan was top class as were all the lads!”

@MarkReeve85 commented: “Another win. Well done DC and the lads on a hard fought victory. Keep them coming.”

@kate_hufc tweeted: “Got no nails left, my hearts going ten to the dozen and I still feel sick...but oh my days, another 3pts and another game unbeaten. Happy Easter and UTP. Cheers, thank you!”
