Match

13 matches without a win for Bromley

The run now stands at 13, and the questions being asked around Bromley are no longer polite ones.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Byron Webster

74 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

9 saves: Sam Long was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings

Michael Golding, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.80

A mark of 7.80 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Michael Golding in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bromley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Bristol Rovers take the points off Bromley

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Jack Cunningham signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jack Cunningham and Bromley agree another 3 years.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑3 defeat, delivered by Simon Johnson to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings

Raphael Borges Rodrigues runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

The knee: Byron Webster out for 81 days

81 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Bromley lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

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

12 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

A falling-out at Bromley

Corey Whitely and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

Raphael Borges Rodrigues runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

A bad afternoon for Bromley against Cheltenham Town

0‑1 to Cheltenham Town, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Louis Flower

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Louis Flower, and the manager let it.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Bromley

9 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Simon Johnson: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Iván López

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Bromley told Iván López something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
