Match

Bromley finish in position 18

49 points, and the season has a number on it. Whatever it felt like from the inside, this is what it will look like in a book.

Player ratings

A debut Michael King will not forget — 7.28

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.28 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Igor Tyjon at 19 — 7.95

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Igor Tyjon did not need any: 7.95, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Juankar signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Juankar and Bromley agree another 2 years.

Squad

Words at Bromley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juankar is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Ahmet Daniel Akyıldız sends Bromley past Cambridge United

It finished 2‑1, and it was Ahmet Daniel Akyıldız’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Bromley.

Squad

Tempers go at Bromley

Jonathan Hogg was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces

One of their own: Carlos Richards

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Bromley come up short against Chesterfield

Chesterfield left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Samual Archer says Bromley went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Tempers go at Bromley

Juankar was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Real improvement from Carlos Richards at Bromley

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Carlos Richards is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Mitch Pinnock signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mitch Pinnock commits to Bromley for another 3 years.

Squad

A row about effort at Bromley

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Logan Briggs was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Bromley keep their word to Igor Tyjon

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Market

Experience through the door at Bromley

George Williams arrives at 33 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Nicke Kabamba

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Colchester United in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout

A door opens for Byron Webster

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Transfer targets

Joe Hilton is a medical away from Bromley

The deal with Bradford City is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Boardroom

4 academy players handed senior numbers at Bromley

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Bromley rebuffed over Toby Savin

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Wigan Athletic have kept their man, and Bromley go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

One of our own: Jason Carter joins the Bromley first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jason Carter is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Michael King joins the Bromley first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Michael King is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Bromley promote Liam Green from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Liam Green has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Nathan King joins the Bromley first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Nathan King is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Match

Bromley get the job done against Barrow AFC

A 1‑0 win over Barrow AFC, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Tade Ibrahim — 6.65

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 10 actions, 6.65, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.
