The Bromley Courier

From our football correspondent Crisis

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.

Match

4 matches without a goal for Bromley

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Tempers go at Bromley

Richard Taylor 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

Words at Bromley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jordon Ibe 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.

The dugout

Richard Taylor gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Fleetwood Town take the points off Bromley

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Andrew Hall left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

Conor Thomas signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Conor Thomas commits to Bromley for another 2 years.

The dugout

Bromley pick somebody else ahead of Nathan Broome

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The Crewe Alexandra Chronicle

3 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Transfer targets

Crewe Alexandra rebuffed over Harvey Davies

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

Squad

Mickey Demetriou signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mickey Demetriou commits to Crewe Alexandra for another 2 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Crewe Alexandra

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

Transfer targets

A loan move for Miguel Ángel Brau is in the works

Crewe Alexandra have made the call to Coventry City. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Matúš Holíček falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Still no ink between Crewe Alexandra and Reece Hutchinson

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Crewe Alexandra, another week without a signature from Reece Hutchinson.

Market

Fin Roberts told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Fin Roberts has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Crewe Alexandra.

The dugout

Reece Hutchinson knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Reece Hutchinson trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Ian Lawlor takes the armband

It is a strip of cloth and it decides nothing on a Saturday. It still tells the dressing room exactly whose opinion the manager values, which is the whole point of it.

In brief
