Following the 6-0 demolition of relegation threatened Staines Town on Saturday Bromley head into the Valentine’s Day match against Hayes & Yeading United at Hayes Lane second in the league after briefly leading for three days. With Ebbsfleet’s involvement in the FA Trophy at and end I fully expect Jamie Day’s newly assembled super squad to push for at least a play off spot if not the title. They may be twelve points behind us, but we play each other twice in the next month and the outcome of these matches will go a long way to shape how the season progresses from here especially considering that sandwiched between these games are tough trips to Sutton and Chelmsford. Basingstoke, Whitehawk, Havant et al will all being eyeing up Boreham Wood who seem to be on the edge similar to our capitulation at this stage last season.
There are plenty of reason to be optimistic as a Ravens fan right now, recently returned Brad Goldberg has found his scoring boots along with new strike partner Ben May and the midfield are really stepping up with a lot of competition for places. The defence looks more solid and we now have a keeper who fills his teammates with confidence rather than doubt. Whisper it quietly, but with games in hand if we continue the good run of form, it really is a golden opportunity to move on up.
