From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Byron Webster

128 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Bromley lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Sam Long

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Both of them Michael Cheek's — 8.98

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.98, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

No end in sight to Bromley's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Bromley has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Alfie Brooks is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Transfer targets

The window shuts on the Joe Adams deal

Bromley ran out of time with Wigan Athletic. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Match

Michael Cheek’s goal not enough for Bromley

Michael Cheek scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Walsall, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Tempers go at Bromley

Rhys Chadwick 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.

Market

One of our own: Edward Phillips joins the Bromley first team

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

In brief
