As we come into March Bromley are still top of the league which is quite some feat considering the size of our squad a relatively low budget compared to some teams in this league. Eastleigh are hot on our heals though six points behind with two games in hand they have a bigger squad, seemingly infinite budget and the bonus of being full time, meaning two or three fixtures a week is less of a problem to them.
Mark Goldberg’s sides have always suffered a dip in form once the pitches have got heavier and after the monsoon style winter we’ve had it’s no wonder results have taken a bit of a dip now we are playing again. It’s hard to move the ball round the way we like to when the mud is over your ankles! We probably don’t have the players to adapt to a different style of play and that’s if MG would even consider doing so.
Play off chasing bitter rivals Sutton Utd come to Hayes Lane on Tuesday and we look set to face them with only one recognised centre back with Jack Holland on England C duty and Rob Swaine injured. We then head up Essex to face a resurgent Chelmsford City on Saturday a notoriously unhappy hunting ground for us without Swaine who will be suspended after his red card against Boreham Wood. If we can come away from these two tough fixtures with four points then we’ll have done very well, with two games a week for the rest of the month they’ll be no let up in the hard work ahead to achieve the highest league finish possible.
As far as the race for the title goes this could be a make or break week, but whatever the outcome it’s important for Bromley fans to remember just how well we have done to be here in the first place.
