Overview

• Carroll, 36, received a straight red just before half-time for a foul while contesting a high ball with Dagenham leading 1-0.
• He was handed the captain’s armband for his full debut in the FA Cup second qualifying round away to Bedford Town.
• Bedford equalised in stoppage time to finish 1-1, setting up a replay this week that Carroll will miss through suspension.
• The dismissal made it three consecutive matches in which Dagenham have had a player sent off, underscoring ongoing discipline problems.
• Carroll joined in July after a season at Bordeaux, missed the start with a hamstring injury, debuted off the bench in a 5-2 loss to Worthing, and was reportedly signed the same day as a Qatari-led takeover with a minority stake in the club.
