Staines

Yes,fair play to Staines who earned their win.We just we'rnt good enough today,better second half off the line twice,hit post and missed penalty so some bad luck.
Our home form is crap,we come out slow and just let the other team dominate.
Got to come out the blocks and get at them from the go,Once we're in front we are better.
Again too many times hoofing it to Bradley.
Need to win at Bath now.

It really is "a funny old game"

Firstly fair play to Staines who were worthy winners.
So many questions thrown up by todays performance:
Why do we have squabbling over penalties?
Surely one designated players should take them?
Why did Louis try something clever when the keeper could barely stand?
Why is Brad seemingly untouchable when it comes to being subbed?
Why is one of our two major goal threats being played at right midfield?
Why play long ball against a centre back with Premier League pedigree?
Why water the pitch before the game which made it cut up?
Hoping this is a blip and a bad day at the office, not a collapse.The pack is closing in.

Should of had 4 goals and they scored a great goal, but like 'bromleyboy1999' said, typical home game, and that's the reason why I don't think we will go up.

Funny old game ,at times i think this is our year (sutton,chelmsford ,a split second at Hemel ) but today we had no luck in front of goal it was almost like they had a force field on their goal line .My only gripe is over the penalty taker i suppose Moses would have taken it if he had been on pitch ,but surely a 2nd nominated taker should be sorted pre game ,looked like Brad wanted it but Louis took it off him ,he had been very subdued and i said before he took it ,fair play he has balls to want to take it but he will miss ,the 5 or 6 fans near me agreed .Fair play to Staines they battled well ,were well organised but i wont miss playing them 9 times out of 10 we have crap games with them .Hope lads can improve next week at Bath ,maybe Joe & Jack will return . Lastly the one positive today was PJD coming on ,great to see him back ,i think he would have got a bigger reception but for everyone being so shocked Moses was subbed.

two big centre halves fast full back against two midgets

Spot the weak link in our team at the moment, I'm sorry if I upset the apple cart but Bradley has to be sacrificed at some point, why did Pinnock not come on, he scared the crap out of Farnborough on Tuesday. Management have to take some sort of responseability at some point. That was the worst performance of the season by a country mile. (I have only missed 2 away games by the way) before any one starts too crow!!

Pinnock came on in the 78th minute

[mikeyh]

consensus around me was Pinnock should have come on for Louis earlier ,not picking on Louis but i think today was one of worst performances i have seen from him .

yep well done to Staines no complaints about result. a few things puzzled me today.... as stated earlier why did we hoof constant high balls up to Brad against a big experienced centre half, my 7 year old even commented on it! Nonsensical. Unsure why Reece who is by a street our calmest , most assured player on the ball got subbed - good call to bring on Birchall who looked lively from the get go on but I'd have taken off BG.

And talking of Brad he seems to have taken over as current whipping boy from slabber and the aforementioned AB. Fine, people pay their money and should have their say of course, but in second half I was stood on side terrace and he was getting flak - as was MG for so-called nepotism - as if the entire performance and scoreline was BG's fault. OK so he's not hit last season's heights but it seems totally counterproductive to slag a bloke off who looked nervous and edgy anyway with the result that he became more nervous and edgy (not just him-the whole team), more lacking in confidence = a downward spiral which doesn't help the team one bit but it seems to me some "fans" ain't happy unless they're having a good moan (unless I'm mistaken we are top of the league?)

Yes a very surprising result but that is what makes football such a great game - you never know what you're gonna get. Slabber to score last-min winner at Gosport to send us up with resultant pitch invasion - it's what dreams are made of. KTF

As far as yesterdays game is concerned I can't improve on what Col has said, good points well made.

Ok, after a day watching Crystal Palace ladies and playing football at the club, I've thought this through a bit more clearly.

You know what? This, along with Hemel, should really give the players a real kick up the backside for the remaining games, and I think that's possibly something they could do with right now.

Of course, we have Bath next up, which is usually a close game whenever we play them so they better be up for it.

However, Its our home form that's the issue. Its what could cost us.

Our next home game is Boreham Wood, so what better incentive for the players to try and go and do something about that than our closest rivals for the title.

There's a good chance that this will be our best opportunity to try and get into the Conference Premier, so let's just throw everything we got at it!!!

Bromley Football Club forever and ever.
