Cooper hails players’ character after win
Assistant manager Andy Cooper praised Town's character and togetherness after they beat Dagenham and Redbridge 1-0.
Andrew Oluwabori's superb second-half goal earned Halifax their fourth consecutive win but they had to work very hard for it, surviving a lot of late pressure to hang on for the victory.
"I'm really proud of the lads to dig a result out," Cooper told the Courier.

"I'm just really pleased the lads were resilient, dug in, they were absolutely first-class to a man and worked hard to get the three points.

The Daggers were the better side in the first-half and ended the game stronger as well, but couldn't break down a resilient Halifax.
"They created multiple chances in the second-half, Sam's had a superb game and does what he does best which is dig out clean sheets and give confidence to the lads in-front ofhimwithcomingforcrosses and long-throws, having good handling in the box to not give away any seconds or loose balls," said Cooper.
