"We have been five weeks without Dobs now and, with all due respect to the lads that have come in, they have carried it really, really well.
"The important thing with a squad is that players come in and up until Saturday the result have been excellent, continued without Dobra.

Cook also said they have no other fresh injury concerns, while Dagenham will be without top goalscorer Josh Walker who is suspended.
