Chalk it off as a ‘bad day at the office’ but it’s put a bit more pressure on us for the next 2 games now. In normal circumstances I’d be expecting us to win both those games but we’re clearly blowing hot and cold at the moment and the loss of Deji is disappointing.
Dorking will be determined to prove their gaffer wrong after the Barnet drubbing so I’d take a point there and a home win on Monday against a Woking side who’ve found form of late, so that’s by no means a given.
Ideally we’d go into the tough finish to the season with 3 out of the 4 last games against promotion rivals with 3rd place secured but that’s looking unlikely. It could all end up going to the wire. I’m hoping King Louis will step up and show his class on the home straight of our journey to the promised land!!
Now come on, Machel, I really am going to take issue with you here. Louis Dennis is, I’m afraid, a liability who never wins a 50/50 ball, and who has contributed little since his return on a free. I am gobsmacked that in all the years you have been watching Bromley you consider him the most ‘technically gifted’ player the club has had. What about Gareth McCleary, messrs Krauhaus and Fisher, and the two lads we had on loan from Birmingham and Preston; all literally in a truly different league to LD, as Portsmouth and Leyton Orient quickly realised. I know the boy is something of a cult figure at Hayes Lane because of what he achieved at a rather lower level. But take it from one who has also watched lots of football at a higher level we really do need to be looking for more ‘gifted’ players if EFL ambitions are to be realised. AW is no fool who is slowly trying to build a squad with more quality, and I would put money on LD not being the only current first teamer who will be absent from the manager’s retained list at the end of the season. Sorry to be so brutal, but I want our Ravens to be high flyers, not also rans.
"so it wasn’t as if they were completely crap" - this line has just made me giggle snort.
It wasn't the greatest game, in fact, I didn't think Bromley were there at most parts. Onwards and upwards!
Perspective and truth. Good traits to have re: in football, writing and LIFE.
But... With great ability comes great Accountability!
