On pure footballing terms, it’s not such a big step up. Mistakes in both finishing and defending are punished more, so that’s a step up but an expected one. I honestly thought there’d be teams head and shoulders better than us (a few have definitely been better), but thus far no one has given us...
No six fingered peg selling at Hayes Lane on Saturday, just a damn long trip down from Barrow and hopefully an unhappy long return journey. We really could do with a run of four or five decent results, and on the back of Tuesday’s improvement a follow up home win would be nice
It wasn’t pretty, but pretty isn’t important when you’re hovering close to the bottom 2, so a dogged out 1-0 away win was just what we needed. Much better defending and top drawer display by Grant Smith was enough last night for the 3 points, onwards to Saturday
As Div 2 new boys I guess we can’t expect too many compliments, but if teams are worried about so called “shithousery?”, that probably says more about them than us, and mid table obscurity will do us nicely this season. Lose and we’re on the crest of a slump, win and we’re where we need to be...
Cambridge (Cup) (H) - Win
Colchester (A) - Win
Notts County (H) - Draw
Grimsby (A) - Lose
Chelsea U21 (Cup) (H) - Lose
MK Dons (H) - Win
13 points from 8 games come end of September
Interesting comments about us being ‘Masters of the Dark Arts’ yet Webster might be a weakness. I’d accept we’ve been playing ‘professional’ football for a couple of years now (hence promotion) and I’d argue Webster is one of those that’s key in that, but don’t forget Alan Dunne (ex Millwall) is...
I’ve been in and around football long enough to know success and failure are just inches apart, but our performance against Wimbledon today was simply professional, against a team I’m sure have intentions of being in or around promotion this year. I think we’ve made a few sit up and take notice...
Top 4 clash for our first Div 2 home game tomorrow lol. Expecting us and Wimbledon to make 5 or 6 changes to Tuesday nights Cup game but hopefully we can get a result. Early days, but a good test of where we are tomorrow
Very early days indeed, but a confidence boost at least. No notable signings, as I’ve said in another thread, we aren’t bankrolled so it has to be slow, affordable progress for us which the vast majority of us who’ve followed Bromley since our pre Ryman League days are quite happy with. Thank...
Our business looks to be done :-
Cameron Congreve - loan from Swansea (Mid)
Danny Imray - loan from Crystal Palace (Wing back)
Kamarl Grant - loan from Millwall (Def)
Taylor Foran - from Arsenal (Def)
Marcus Dinanga - from Gateshead (Forward)
Sam Long - from Lincoln (Keeper)
Lewis Leigh - from...

Likely to be the second (Sowunmi from Sutton the first) of 5 or 6
