Win or lose the result tomorrow has become of relative importance. The main thing is that we have a committed group of players on the pitch that are worth supporting. My team for tomorrow:
Agu
Fray Graves Harwood Nanami Dunk
Daly Harding Henriques
Sobers McBean
Subs: Jones, Wedgeworth, England, Britnell, J Fray
With England not on the bench yesterday, as far as I'm concerned the 11 players on the pitch pick themselves, couldn't think of a different way of putting them out on the pitch other than the above, with Sobers up front. There is an argument for starting Jones, but that really is throwing him in at the deep end.
Good luck lads - make us proud!
PS Well deserved awards for Toots and Harrison last night as well as a long service award for Sobers and honourable mentions for Harry and Graves.

Basically, in light of our slide this season and antics last night. I dont think we can underestimate the negative contributions some individuals have made to this squad (in so far as their bad atttitude). I actually think we've been forced to carry some players since January as their performances have made clear they dont want to be here. Thank god for the end of season clear out to come.
In light of tomorrow, agree with Antonio but possibly Id put Sobers in the back line and put Harwood in a midfield 3, with Harding playing off Mcbean

Glaring omission: Ugo Udoji has a place on the bench in that team. Apologies to Ugo!

Well done to Tutu even though i voted for Graves who many fans took a long time to appreciate ,Tutu would have been my 2nd choice a true Bromley clubman who has had a good season . Dunk is clearly our best player but he has had some bad luck with injuries,i am hoping he can work his magic in the Final.Its strange how form can change because probably up too xmas Finn would have been on his way to gettin my vote.Lots of people will be watchin monday ,good chance for players to put themselves in shop window .

According to BBC, Gills & Charlton management will be there tomorrow, so a good chance for Dunk to really impress, not that you could ever accuse Dunk of not trying to impress, whether it's 30 hardcore fans at an away match or visiting league scouts.
I've no idea what Mash is talking about regarding 'antics last night', but i agree with the rest of his post. I do think until yesterday that McBean has played well in recent games, not that he should be singled out for underperforming yesterday as a few of the players seemed to be lacking a little, maybe with Monday in mind. Hopefully the spell on the bench with Finn or out the team altogether was the kickstart he needed. We really need him to be on fire tomorrow though, Ide looks handy in a support role, but not a high goal scorer & might ven be injured for tomorrow too.
Sobers has got to start in defence tomorrow. Harwood is playing really well at the moment (why on earth did we let him go earlier in the season & get Sharpe instead?) & Sobers & Nnamani are not struggling to score from a defensive role.
Attacking options will be limited, particularly if Ide & Finn are injured. I thought Jones had a very promising game yesterday albeit he didn't have too long to impress, & I'd have no problem seeing him starting & Harding behind McBean if we need to.
Would have thought Holloway has to be 1st choice rather than Agu? He didn't have a great day yesterday, but when fit he's as good as any other in the division, but saying that, I won't be at all worried if Agu starts tomorrow.

With Ide trying to stretch out a stitch after 20mins yesterday and Finn persona non grata I'd now go with this:
Holloway
Fray Graves Harwood Nnmani Dunk
Harding Daly Henriques
McBean Sobers
Subs: Udoji England Agu Jones Ide
I think the academy kids are away on a tour somewhere?

Why is everybody picking Sobers up front??!!! Am i missing something here?
And Harwood in midfield?! He's our best centre back by a long way ( which isn't saying much) so must play in defence.
Also, no proper mention of the final on official web-site when i just looked? Do they know we're playing tomorrow LOL

I think you'll find thats because we dont expect Ide to be fit, hence being so low on bodies we will need to find some way around it. Therefore we'll be 4 center backs in a side that needs one more person up front

Have to say my team for tomorrow if everyone is fit would be Holloway,Graves,Harwood,Sobers,Nnmani,Dunk,Daly,Harding,Tutu,Mcbean,Ide. Think you always have to go with the experience of Craig in goal for these games and also while i don't like Ide,at least it's another attacker.Have to have the aerial threat as that was what caused them so many problems at home.Come on the Brom!

if the asssumption is that Ide is not fit, then I can see why people are going for Sobers up front (at least we'll win a few headers), but I just feel that if he's in defence, Dartford will struggle to score, & we have a chance of creating a goal from Dunk or at set pieces with Sobers, Nnamani & Harwood even if we don't get as many as the other week with Leon in the side.
I'd have been tempted to put Finn alongside McBean if he's fit, simply because we're down to bare bones & he is an attacking player, though I'm not sure what the comments about are inferring (if anything) about Finn & TBH I'd be just as happy to see Jones start. Braintree's efforts winding up Leon rather than playing football has certainly hurt us for tomorrow as well as that game.

Shame really if I'm reading between the lines correctly. Whereas McBean seemed to be coming back into form & playing well after his spell on the bench or out the team, Finn still hasn't looked anything like the brilliant player who started the season, so presumably there is a bit more than just lack of form or injury. I couldn't believe the management had managed to replace Ryan Hall so easily, let alone with someone even more entertaining to watch, but looks like the comments of a few other team's supporters may have been right.
So, only one thing for it then, Jerry Dolke starts up front with McBean, IIRC he used to put himself about a bit, Vinesy style.
Whatever else happens today, I still think it's been quite a reasonable season. We just need to keep a bit of perspective sometimes & look at what happened to Welling & other clubs. Seems to be a few rumours flying round the net on other clubs involved in the play offs too so might not be the end of it yet.
Can't see Sobers or Finn warming up but looks like Ide is out there
