Still offers high praise for Loft

John Still
Still was impressed by Loft's all-round contribution

Dagenham & Redbridge boss John Still praised on-loan midfielder Doug Loft for his performance against Wycombe.

Loft will be with the Daggers for the rest of the season, after joining from Brighton in February and impressed Still in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat.

"I thought his performance for the first half was absolutely outstanding, his tackling, his movement and on the ball was fantastic," he told BBC Essex.

"I thought he ran out of steam towards the end, but he will get fitter."

Still also refused to be too downhearted following their defeat to Peter Taylor's promotion-chasing outfit, which leaves his side ninth in League Two and three points shy of the play-offs.

"When I first came to this club all we had to do was stay in the Conference," he said.

"We have absolutely over-achieved against bigger and better clubs than us and we'll keep over-achieving.

"Ok we've lost against Wycombe, but we'll win a lot more games this season.

"This group of players have been absolutely fantastic and they cannot give any more and if sometimes, on different occasions, someone might not be quite good enough I'll take that on the chin because they've been great."
