Selection dilemma for Still

Dagenham boss John Still has no fresh injury concerns but must decide whether to play Shane Huke or Danny Foster in an otherwise unchanged line-up. Huke managed 83 minutes in the Daggers' 2-0 win at Bradford last time out having returned from a groin problem which had sidelined him for over a month. But after resting fellow defender Foster (groin) for the Bantams clash, Still must decide which of the two should start against Peterborough. Striker Paul Benson is yet to return to full training following his leg fracture, and midfielder Richard Graham closing in on a return to first-team action. Defender Lee Goodwin is the Daggers' only other injury absentee with his long-term knee trouble and might not appear for the remainder of the season.
Peterborough team news
Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson has the luxury of naming an unchanged side for the trip. Posh have won their last six games to climb above the MK Dons into pole position in League Two and Ferguson is unsurprisingly set to stick with the same XI which overcame Barnet in midweek. That will see former Daggers striker Craig Mackail-Smith continue in attack alongside Aaron Mclean and he will be hoping to end an eight-match goal drought. Recent signings Liam Hatch and Scott Rendell are hoping to displace Mackail-Smith but will again have to wait their turn on the bench. Winger Josh Low is fit and healthy after a recent calf injury and a bout of illness but is again unlikely to play while defender Kieran Charnock is the only definite absentee with his knee injury.
