Still in That Creek, but we Now Have a Paddle!

After impressive wins at Salisbury (2-0) and at home to Chelmsford (1-0) and five games un-defeated Bromley have given themselves half a chance of survival going into March. The extra investment in the squad has paid off in results so far and there are one or two of the new faces who look to be playing below their natural level. The form of Ali Fuseini & Albert Jarrett in midfield have been key to the up turn in form along with Hakeem Araba’s goals and the central defensive combination of Liam Harwood & Moses Swaibu in front of a solid Keeper in Joe Welch, we now have a central core of quality that the side has lacked all season.

There are some tough games ahead and we are not out of danger yet, but hope is very much alive at

Hayes Lane

after months of despair and disillusion.              

Glimmers of Hope

I left the blog for a while as it would just have been very negative thoughts on the club I love’s seemingly imminent demise, but now seems a good time to revive it like the season itself.     

After a terrible run of 17games without a win we finally came good away to Weston Super Mare winning 3-0 a vital win that not only lifted us out of the relegation zone it lifted the spirits of everyone connected with the club. Dropping into the bottom three was the catalyst to big changes in the squad and the owner & manager have decided to loosen the purse strings in order to aid survival. We’ve given two ex-pro’s who lost their way a chance to revive their careers in Ali Fuseini and Anthony Thomas, plus brought in some quality players from the league above in Pierre Joseph-Dubois & Ron Welch. Albert Jarrett & Michael Malcolm also look good signings on paper as we add some experience to the young squad. I shed no tears at Rob Gillman’s departure, he always seemed to have one eye on the door, and partnered with Jo Dolan they were too slow but was sad to see Rory Hill go after what had been a decent first half a season in midfield for us.

Once this cold snap has gone, very frustrating after just getting back to winning ways, if we can get this current squad settled and playing to their potential then we have an excellent chance of staying up and playing some winning football that will hopefully bring back a few more fans to Hayes Lane for our home games.
