Tuesday night’s 3-0 defeat to Chelmsford was as one sided a game as you are likely to see, for an indication of how outclassed Bromley were Mark Goldberg opted to go for a 4-5-1 formation in the second half just to keep the score down to three!
The decision to put Harry Harding up against Dave Rainford in midfield was cruel on the teenager and gave us little chance of winning the midfield battle, which would have been tough for a far more experienced player let alone a rookie on work experience.
The gulf in class was alarming and a good indicator of how much we’ll have to improve if we ever really wanted to have a tilt at the title in the future. Even the play offs look unlikely with the current run of form, our league position only buoyed by the amazing seven game winning start to the season. The tale of the season so far is that when we lose we really lose, 4-0, 3-0, 4-0, 7-0, 2-0 & 3-0, two of those in cups. Not many teams are in the top five with a minus goal difference!
Since John Scarborough’s departure we have looked very weak in defence, without the out of favour Wes Daly the midfield is too lightweight and unfortunately aside from Leon McKenzie our strikers haven’t scored since early November, which all adds up to a bit of a problem.
Saturday sees us entertain Basingstoke before a trip to Lewes on Wednesday, a minimum of four points is required to keep us in a good position, sadly somehow I can’t see it happening.
