Who can't play for us against Bromley due to injury or suspension? It's getting hard to keep up to date.
I'm not at all concerned with yesterday's result and we are still third in the table, not third from bottom.
We have two winnable games coming up and our home form is great. Two wins against Bromley and WSM would put pressure on Dartford and might scare Woking a bit to.
That is an interesting link Moo. The conference south have far more players awaiting suspension than any other league. Are the players in this league really that dirty, or does this say something about the standard of referees in this league?
All the players were pissed off after Monday, this is their chance to show they can get back on track. I know for a fact the bromley guy at Staines thought we were poor and just launched it without stringing two passes together. Lets hope he sees the good side of our play today he said the bromley we will see against Welling are a lot better than the bromley we saw earlier in the season at their place.
Good test for us today. 6 points this week and we are cruising again.
Although the ref didnt get everything right, nice to see one who told the players to get on with it (when appealing for fouls) and he talked to people before just showing yellows everywhere.

Bromley website is whipping their masses up into a frenzy with a video of their 2009 win at PVR! :D .. however they will be bouyed by Chelmsford win.
I seriously hope we actually get sent a decent ref today as past few games have been Ryman North quality at best .. someone who can tell the difference between a Pen or a Free in the other direction would help
They are playing well and their new players have really made a difference it seems looking at their results since new year. They have gone from a seriously relegation threatened side to 1 of the form teams on current results including snapping the essex boys' unbeaten away record so i feel first goal is crucial today. They do seem very up for this game so we need one of our performances that we all know this team is capable of this afternoon,the last 3 games have all had strange and controversial incidents,lets hope we get a decent ref today and our football does all the talking. COYW!!
One nil half time. Poor quality match. Our midfield is being bypassed. Parkinson playing at right back and it's obvious that's not his position. Pires looks sharp but has been starved of service. Ref has been ok, certainly better than some we've had recently.
bit of a melee in the tunnel just after the match. For some reason, a BroMley player was determined to try to hit Anthony, and other Bromley players had to pull him away.
In my opinion, we were fortunate to come away with the three points. Obviously I'm glad but Bromley for me played the better football for long periods of the match. I don't think Captain Jack will be pressing to make "right-back" his first choice position. The overall quality of our passing and movement off the ball was below par this afternoon. I felt we got better about 5 minutes before our second goal, which I thought was excellent. Bromley's number 11 was lively and made our defence work and it is partly for this reason that Anthony A was my man of the match. Glad that Scott has got off the mark for us and I can't wait to see how Bromley scored, what happened there? The points were important today especially after last Monday. The ref today was fine and it did make me laugh when he was dealing with their number 9, there must have been 12" difference in height. Roll on Tuesday.
You gotta love Champz, he lost his form and took it on the chin, got his head down and has been our best player for the last few games i think. Kinch man of match today, without him in midfield in the first half we would have just been defending all game. Loick was tireless must have won every flick or header from the hoofs forward. Our effort in the last 20 minutes got us the win which is pleasing as it wasnt a going day today for us.
Big win now we face anti football X1 on Tuesday at home, try and lump it forward against them and they will play the ref with injuries and waste time and hit us with route one and kabbas pace.

To be honest, I thought no one had a good game except Achempong, Pires (for his hold up play) and maybe Cracknell. It was pretty much hoofball until the gaffer came on. We need to sort it out if we want to progress beyond the play offs.
Very interesting comments regarding our MOM......seems it was very different where I was behind the goal
That's because you don't get a proper view of the whole pitch from behind the goal so the view of those standing there is completely irrelevant, unless they happen to agree with the match sponsors decision in which case I would congratulate them on their awareness and good sense.
If we can play like that and win we must have a good side, had just called Kinch a carthorse before he volleyed in!
Nice to meet you mate, I was the one who sais "Sure he's a carthorse?" after that volley!!
I think Trigger is bang on (sorry I didn't let you know I was there Trig, work got the better of me...), we were lucky to a point and the Bromley goal looked a proper scrap from the other end too. Glad of the points, but as ben said, we need to find another answer to 'Route 1', as it was flat tempo until Day came on. Any news on what happened afterwards? Saw it start to kick off...
