Here are our player ratings from the game...

A mixed bag. Made a great save down to his left from Hill at 0-0 but mistakes crept in after that. The crucial one being when he opted to punch, rather than catch, a free-kick delivery and the Daggers recycled the ball back into the box and scored. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Played at right-back, a position he has played before, but it's not his natural role and he put in a commendable display. Got some joy going forward in both halves and stuck to his guns defensively. Put in a big shift in sweltering heat. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Started ahead of Palmer at centre-back. Started confidently, although one slip-up led to a big Daggers chance. A bit hesitant on the ball in the second-half. He was subbed off on 83 minutes as Chesterfield tried - and succeeded - in making the extra man count. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Solid. Not much got past the skipper. One crunching tackle on the halfway line prevented a counter-attack and got a fist bump from Cook. A couple of nice switches of play out to Mandeville drew applause. His headed knockdown from a set-piece should have been buried. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

A good first start. Played some nice passes into midfield in the first-half and showed a willingness to get forward after the break. One or two heavy touches, and one moment in the first 45 when he got himself in a bit of a tangle but, other than that, he can be pleased. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Outstanding. Played the game like his life depended on it. Shrugged off challenges, won the duels, stopped attacks, started moves. He was a machine. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

A calm head in the middle of the park. Dropped deep to try and start attacks but also got between the lines. Wasn't afraid to take the ball when marked. A smooth performance. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Started brightly, looked like he had a point to prove, one early goal-bound shot was expertly blocked. But he frustrated after that. Ran himself into dead-ends and got himself tangled up. Continued to work hard. Off on 88. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

His brilliant, curling free-kick on the angle of the box found the top corner and made it 1-1. He was direct and had the beating of his marker all day long but Town did not get the ball enough to him at times. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

Two big contributions. Drew the foul from Phipps which got him sent off and helped to change the game. Cool as ice from the spot to make it 2-1 in the 90th minute. (Photo: Tina Jenner)

The sub had a big impact off the bench, winning the penalty after running at the Dagenham defence before being brought down. Every time he got the ball he was direct and the fans loved it. (Photo: Tina Jenner)
