Squad18 Oct 2032
The knee: Dmitry Medvedev out for 27 days
27 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.

Jonathan Haftom puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bromley, and it is not being withdrawn.
Match16 Oct 2032
6 matches without a win for Bromley
The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Bromley are no longer polite ones.
Squad18 Oct 2032
A one-man rearguard from Keehan Willows
There were 6 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.

Tommy O'Donnell stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Tommy O'Donnell and Bromley agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Squad18 Oct 2032
A falling-out at Bromley
Bruno Baldini and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match16 Oct 2032
Crewe Alexandra take the points off Bromley
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout18 Oct 2032
No hiding place for Andrew Jones
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andrew Jones, and the manager let it.

Interim Coach: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
