English League Shield Round 1

Manager Grant Cameron Choose to field a weakened team in the first round of the League Shield as his priorities are to gain promotion this season.
When comparing the side that faced Dagenham and Redbridge in the cup to the team that drew against Woking in the first game of the season an incredible 10 changes were made the only player that managed to keep his place was Goal Keeper Yassine Bounou. The side that was picked to face Dagenham in the cup was definitely a shadow of the side that played 2 days previous.
