The dugout

Dillon Addai: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Bromley have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at Bromley

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

Match

Michael Cheek the difference as Bromley beat Barnet

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Michael Cheek. 1‑0 against Barnet, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Match

Bristol Rovers take the points off Bromley

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

Squad

Words at Bromley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Logan Briggs 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.

Market

Talks stall between Bromley and Jack Holmes

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Mickel Miller

7.85, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Bromley had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Ryan McAidoo

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

Squad

Lakyle Samuel makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Juankar delivers — 7.52

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Juankar scored, was marked 7.52, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad

Real improvement from Logan Briggs at Bromley

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Logan Briggs is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Juankar stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Juankar and Bromley agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bromley

Richard Taylor and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Time is catching up with Juankar

Everybody at Bromley saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 36 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

Match

Jack Holmes the difference as Bromley beat Crewe Alexandra

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jack Holmes. 2‑1 against Crewe Alexandra, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Jack Holmes

Marked 8.05 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The dugout

A satisfied Charles Hughes

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑1, Charles Hughes could afford to be generous.

Player ratings

Ryan McAidoo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 13. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

In brief
