After a precious if slightly lucky win over Weston we lost the momentum with a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Dover the following Tuesday. We dominated possession and pressed well for the first half, but failed to create and fell victim to some decent finishing and poor defending in the second period. There was some nice football played by Hayden Bird’s men, but in the end it’s about how many you score now how long you have the ball.
After a Saturday off we travelled over to Welling, who are under a transfer embargo and were only able to name eleven players for the game with Player/Manager Jamie Day named as sub although he was actually attending the birth of hid son! The eleven players who were available did The Wings fans proud with a very committed strong performance and well deserved their 2-1 lead prior to the floodlights failing and the game being abandoned early on 87mins. The only plus point on the night for Bromley was a goal for Warren McBean, although it won’t actually count in his tally for the season, it will hopefully give him back the confidence he had lost in front of goal.
Welling’s players could have just gone through the motions with no chance of being subbed, but they had the pride and character to give their all while Bromley’s players looked short of both these attributes as well as confidence.
Whether the players are actually able to pull off Bird’s preferred style of play is very much up for debate right now. He has brought in striker Charlie Ide & Fulham youngster Cortney Harris toadd options in his squad.
We face Staines next at Hayes Lane quickly followed by Ebbsfleet in the Kent Senior Cup, we need to win both games as two poor results would see the season over and done with as a competitive proposition
