The cup run ends for Bromley
0‑2 against Millwall, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

No sign of nerves from Damola Ajayi at 20 — 7.74
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Damola Ajayi did not need any: 7.74, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Carlos Richards is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 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.

Carl Jenkinson 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.

Bromley come up short against Swindon Town
Swindon Town left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The crowd has taken to Damola Ajayi
At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Grant Smith 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.

Ashley Charles 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.

The pass was always on for David Muñoz
Chances created: 5. Somebody has to open a door before anybody can walk through it, and he spent the afternoon opening doors.
