Matt and the team will be looking to build on Saturday's eye-catching victory, though I expect that D&R will be more robust defensively than Chesterfield. They're now unbeaten in eight matches and have climbed to 7th in the table. Their away games this season have all been tight affairs, either drawn or settled by the odd goal.
I think Craig Eastmond is available again, but I'd be inclined to stick with Saturday's starting XI.

Hmm, I would expect a three game ban for a straight red? Or is it a three game ban for a straight red because of a bad tackle, whereas denying a goal-scoring opportunity is just one?

Denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity (DOGSO) has always attracted a one match ban. The change in the law where a yellow is considerd sufficient in a DOGSO situation, is where a player is considered to have made a legitimate attempt for the ball but fouls the player and that foul results in a penalty.
Three matches are given usually for serious foul play or violent conduct.
Foul & abusive language usually attracts a two match ban.
Spitting at an opponent carries a 6 match ban (or it did when I was working at Surrey FA).
Any incident that does not come under the laws provided for incidents on the pitch or where evidence is provided that a player engaged in improper conduct is overseen by misconduct laws. A recent example of that was James Comley's simulation that led to Omar Bugiel's red card being rescinded and Comley apparently being given a two match ban for his actions.

FA website indicates a 2 match ban

Thay maybe because he had a ban hanging over from last season and missed the first match of the season at Hartlepool. The FA system has therefore read it to be his second red card of the season which is incorrect.
Not sure that the FA have got that right (and knowing their system it wouldn't surprise me).

Alternatively Craig may have contributed some verbals to the ref at Wrexham, that seems to be the only offence for which a 2 match suspension is imposed. Though there have been alterations to the way Handball should be viewed there does not appear to be an alteration to the ban.

As I said their system is not infallable.
Definately only a one match ban.

Just looked - it's last season's crime sheet. He got the extra match because he had been sent off earlier in the season. If it had been his third red he would have had two added to the ban that the reason for the dismissal would normally attract and so on.

Beaten by a much better team this evening. Lost all hope of scoring when Wright went off. Cannot remember having a shot on target and why bring on two players in the 87th minute?. You do that to waste time. No player can have an impact in 5 minutes. No Kearney or Bugiel on the bench so Harry Beautyman played up front.
Plenty of possession in the second half on the half way line because Dagenham were not interested in scoring more. Do not have the movement to find a killer pass and seem to be content to rely on corners when we did not win a header all night. Stockport at home becomes a big game now.

Utterly threw away any chance of a result by gifting a solid well organised side two goals just before half time. Bola should have put the ball (and man if necessary) in the stands long before inviting the oppo player inside and stepping on his heels for the free kick in a very dangerous position, while the second goal which killed the contest stone dead two minutes later was a defensive horror show and utterly avoidable.
We simply have to stop gifting goals at home, these are all very well drilled sides (except for Chesterfield who were all over the place) and going behind just makes the task so much harder. We don't have the nous to break teams down or a plan b, but the immediate thing to address is to stop creating mountains to climb. At 0-0 we're always in the contest.
Also bemused by our starting line up. Two left wingers on the bench yet we change our shape to accommodate Beautyman and eastmond by playing the former on the left of a very unbalanced 4-4-2. Eastmond at right back and bola Randall or Reid on the left would have been more sensible as we were never going to get anything like the same freedom down our right as in Saturday. Grays tactical decisions and our general defensive lapses at home have me immensely concerned about our prospects this season, although I still think we will pick up enough points on the road to finish outside bottom 4

Down to earth with a bump. As detailed above, defensive lapses in the five minutes before half-time gifted the visitors a 2-0 lead which they defended effectively in the second half. Almost inevitably, one of those goals was a screamer from our former player James Dobson.
We started strongly, the pace of Ajoboye and Wright creating a couple of openings. But as the half progressed we gradually got pegged back. I imagine that there were some strong words in the dressing room during the interval, and the players gave it a real go in the second period, winning several corners - but D&R used their height advantage to ensure that these came to nothing.
Tonight's results drop us to 19th, the lowest we've been all season. But the middle of the table is still very tight, Barrow in 7th having only five points more than Aldershot in 20th.

I think Tom B playing at Right Back was OK but yes - nothing on the left wing made us totally unbalanced.
Once they got the second they had no need to do anything except hang on and hope for a breakaway. We were lucky that they didn't get another one. It was very naive to not hang on until half time just one goal down. Where the minute stoppage time came from I'm not sure. Has any game not had one minute extra in the first half?

we gradually got pegged back. This is a repetitive theme, failure to find the out ball has seen us concede goals time and time again. I don't blame the defense at all, they are simply under far too much pressure. On Saturday we got away with it because Chesterfield were terrible, and we got 2 quick goals similar to that of Dag tonight, the game has then gone. The lack of options forces you into the long ball and back it comes at you. Our problem is in front of the back 4, no one who is available for the ball out and who can hold it up to let players get forward. Our most successful teams have had good players in that holding position, someone who can play with their back to goal. I would trade any winger for a good holding player because without one you will never get out, and you need to play 8ft giants and live off long balls. What I wouldn't give for another Nick Bailey..

This season: with both Beautyman and Eastmond in the starting 11. W0 D3 L4. With just one of them W3 D3 L0. U's have 3 Stattos listed in the programme - would any of them like to work out the odds of that being a coincidence? Even if you accept Will Randall was not match fit enough to start a second game in 2 days and therefore exactly Matt's XI had to start their positioning was wrong. As pointed out above, Craig has shown competence at RB, Tom has played OK on the left wing and Harry has been our leading scorer and most effective player as the central attacking midfield. That would have give us 2 wingers and Harry in his best position.
If the thinking was Tom has more pace than Craig to cope with Dagenham's fast winger it failed, Tom floored the player in the prime position six yards from the goal line and the free kick was headed home. Craig was not as good as Harry has been in the midfield slot he occupied tonight. And Harry, well - which of the egg-heads came up with the idea that a right-footed midfield player might do a good job as a left-winger?
We started brightly with David skinning the coverage down our right wing, but only until the Daggers sussed we had no left wing threat, so they could shift across and tighten up on David. As for the timing of the substitutions - far too late when it was obvious after an hour plan A was bust - incompetent.
