Hi Mash Excellent once again. I honestly don't see a lot of changes coming. Corey played nearly every minute last season and I see Ben with his energy doing the same. They may get a rest in the FA Trophy but with every match a key game I think Andy will play his best XI. I would like to see Lewis Leigh start best player on the pitch imo in the first half. As he likes to get forward maybe its an option to play Woods behind him. It is worth playing him just for his corners worth a goal a game and I think he will score goals for us as well.
Not a big fan of too many changes anyway Frank Lampard never liked missing games once said and I paraphrase the more games I play the better I get. It suits some players to play every game maybe not others though.
As for the final goal...I have looked at it about 10 times. The Ref must have seen it. The only way you can justify it is that the keeper looks like he is going down anyway as he has to stoop to punch the ball so even without contact from Cheek would have gone down anyway so its not a trip from Cheek so maybe a bit soft to give a free kick or maybe he was thinking about his plans post match as the match was drifting to a quiet end until Mr Whitely had other ideas. What a fantastic dipping effort.!
I think a couple of things about the game, one probably at odds with the feel good of the run we're on.
Firstly, Woods made all the difference in the second half when he came on I thought. Lung busting rungs, breaking the lines, and carrying the ball is something that Leigh doesn't offer (despite his obvious quality). I would *love* to see Leigh and Woods in a double pivot.
The formation we play right now (and your observation about Ben + Corey is crucial to this) exposes whoever is in the middle of the pitch. We saw it with Billy at the start of the season, and I think we're seeing it again. Corey + Ben have to do so much work getting out wide because we play a front two, it means they get through miles of work, but leave massive spaces in the middle.
Secondly, I do have some worries when I watch us. I know Woodman thinks posession football is boring, but boy is it a break on the legs and gives the players a rest. We've been "dominated" on the ball by Wealdstone, Oxford City, and Dorking - and I know folks will say they haven't hurt us, but surely all of this work out of posession catches up to us at some point...
(Though of course this is still a fabulous run and we should be grateful!)
I need a petition to be signed up by all the players staff RSG and the fans for when I attend back to court in Bromley on the 22/11/23 would that be possible to sort out for me please Mach
Bromley fc are my life and soul and you know that and I’m gutted not to be on this journey right now I want to be a part of it see what you can do and let me know
A good assessment of our midfield. However, I'm inclined to disagree that there was a foul on the keeper in the creation of the second goal. From the halfway camera it appears evident that Cheek extends his leg (hopefully) towards tha ball, and that Male comes from behind Cheek, launching himself over and across Cheek's leg to get to the ball first. Perhaps the referee viewed this event similarly?

Great write up as per.

Certainly looked a foul to me, but take nothing away from Bromley they're on a fantastic run!
Great report as usual
Keep up the good work

I await your reply buddy
Will hit you up via FB messenger
Thanks bro
I couldn’t go but watched the stream.Last gasp ‘Worldy’ can so much change the perspective of the game.
Look at both managers post game interviews to see.
How long can a team win Ugly.
For me,who doubted AW for a long time,I am already nervous about the play offs.
Game On !

I reckon if it had been the other way round we wouldn't be so generous to say it wasn't a foul.
