Salford settle for share of the points
Posted Sunday, September 02, 2018 by PA
Salford were forced to settle for a point from their trip to rock-bottom Dagenham after playing for over half the match with a man less.
The promotion favourites had taken 10 points from their previous four games but, following Danny Lloyd’s first-half dismissal, they could only record a goalless draw.
Salford bossed the opening period with Lloyd and Lois Maynard both testing Daggers keeper Elliot Justham while top scorer Adam Rooney saw his 30th-minute tap-in eventually ruled out for offside.
Rooney also saw another effort cleared off the line but Salford’s stranglehold on the game slipped in the 40th minute when Lloyd was sent off after receiving a second booking.
Despite being down to 10 men, Salford continued to create chances after the break with Tom Walker firing over before Rooney was denied by a brilliant Justham save.
At the other end, Lamar Reynolds’ header was saved by Chris Neal while Tomi Adeloye spurned a late chance for the hosts, who at least managed to double their points tally for the season.
