A really informative piece: thanks. Personally I think you have a bit of a Louis fixation, but, setting that aside, our inability to make a like-for-like substitution (which was even more obvious when we had to bring on Olomola instead of a defender right at the end) shows what an amazing job Woody has done with a thin squad buttressed by loanees.
If we go up it's going to be a frantic summer and money's going to have to be spent (on the pitch and facilities as well as on squad depth). If we don't, the challenge will be just as great, to overcome any prolonged hangover, maintain a challenge for next year and (for all I know) keeping Woody. Starting again when you've just missed out is psychologically very tough. But let's hope it doesn't come to that.
Go Ravens! 12,000 plus of us will be there on Sunday, and I hope we convert some of the new fans into permanent supporters - so come on all you Bromley-based Palace fans, avoid that miserable trip to South Norwood and support your home team!
If Ben does miss out then I guess Louis comes in behind Cheek. It was good to have a two goal cushion before Weston had to go off and we played 25 mins with effectively five centre backs. Which made me smile.
Another brilliant piece , Jude has had his best season yet & Louis looked at his confident best . We will have to be good again on Sunday as I think Solihull are more ruthless than Alty . For me it's a 50/50 game despite us finishing higher as Solihull are better away from home .
Another good summary, Mach, and I'm relieved I am not the only one to notice your Louis fanship.
I have been smiling since watching the match, and that smile becomes a grin when I hear observation/criticism at small players grabbing headed goals. Nor least the Alty manager, Parkinson, refers to Myles' first goal with disappointment and extols the worth of his centre-halves. But from my view it was clear that one of those defenders propelled Myles with one hell of a push right at the ball. Thanks for the assist, Alty!
The memory resurfaced just as I was passing the height restruction on the Nuffield Drive that "louis will play a part". Any hints on lottery numbers in 3 months time,.oh wise Seer?
Still can't believe where the club is now compared to the one I loved as a kid.
One final observation....Pass's limp at the final whistle was far less noticeable than his pre-game limp.....maybe...just maybe

Yep you're right - a busy summer awaits whatever happens in the summer.
Privately I worry we lose Andy in the summer if we dont go up

Seen Finley Robert’s a few times who looks a player. Maybe too old at this point though
Another great summary as always
Once again... spot on... and LET'S GO, BROMLEY!!!

I make no attempts to hide the Louis fanship - In fact I've even admitted it on these pages.

I need to do some digging on Passley!
