Dagenham & Redbridge v Rotherham United: Millers are 'no dead ducks' says Moore

The Millers have dropped to sixth and need a victory to reignite hopes of winning automatic promotion.

Moore said: "Criticism is part and parcel of football management. One minute you're the bee's knees and the next you're a dead duck! That has never changed and it never will.

"We're only five points off third place. Three wins and we're bang in there. This month will be a big factor in our season. We have to be positive and go and do our jobs."

With striker Craig McAllister likely to make his debut after joining on a month's loan from Exeter, Moore is confident that his side can return respond to back-to-back defeats against Rochdale and Bradford City.

Dagenham are five points behind in the table.
