JOHN Still laid into some his underperforming players after watching MK Dons destroy his Dagenham side on Saturday.

The Daggers boss was left fuming after a Aaron Wilbraham-inspired Dons side took his team's losing streak to three games.

Still said: "We had two players who thought they could do something different to the game plan.

"Anyone who thinks we're going to out play MK Dons is in another world. We have to defend properly and gradually wear them down.

"I've never moaned about getting beat or teams scoring against us, but we have to play as a team.

"All season we've worked hard to get to the position we are in where we've got a good chance.

"And then people believe that they're better than the team and as individuals are good enough to do it on their own.

"Well we aren't - we're a long way from that."

Wilbraham netted a brace in a game dominated by Paul Ince's side from the start.

The striker headed in the opener inside three minutes and scored again eight minutes before the break, his goals sandwiching Lloyd Dyer's slotted shot on ten minutes.

Vertan striker Kevin Gallen completed the rout with ten minutes to play.

"We have a really great team but we don't have great individuals," insisted Still.

"We have to play a certain way - that's what's got us up into this league and that's what's got the wins that we've had."

Dagenham host Shrewsbury on Saturday.

Dag & Red: Roberts, Smith (Sloma 28), Arber, Uddin, Griffiths, Gain, Rainford, Southam (Moore 68), Foster, Nurse, Strevens. Unused subs: Hogan, Boardman, Taiwo.
