Andy Carroll had a disastrous full debut for his new club Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday afternoon.
After ending his stint with Bordeaux before the start of this season, he has now joined Dagenham and Redbridge.
However, the former Liverpool player has had a difficult start with the National League South team.
He finally made his first appearance last week as a substitute in a 5-2 defeat against Worthing.

To make matters worse, Carroll received a straight red card on his first start for Dagenham and Redbridge.
This result means they now face an FA Cup second round qualifying replay this coming Tuesday, a match which Carroll will be absent from.
In other news, Liverpool are eagerly anticipating the debut of their new record signing, Alexander Isak, from Newcastle, in their upcoming match against Burnley on Saturday.
The £125m striker has only played 18 minutes for Sweden this season, indicating that he needs to work on his fitness levels.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised Swedish manager Jon Dahl Tomasson, saying: "First of all, the Swedish manager (Jon Dahl) Tomasson deserves a big compliment because he gets maybe the best striker in the world in and needs him for his country but understands that playing him might result in injuries, so he took care of the player and he deserves a big compliment for that.
"We will treat Alex the same, so don't expect 90 mins every week, he missed pre-season and team sessions so we have to build him up gradually.
"But, that will be a challenge but we have signed him for six years, so this is what the fans have to keep in mind if I bring him in.
In football, there's always criticism, sometimes they cheer for us; after the League Cup they were happy with him, in other moments you get criticised, this is part of his life, my life and now he is a player for us."
