They lost at Woking on Tuesday, their first defeat in eight. They've drawn a few recently.
Dennis Bergkamp's son Mitchell plays for them, hoping we get to see him today.

Watched via stream Thought that was a superb game, best performance of the season? Could have easily folded after the sending off which was very harsh indeed. The ref didn't know it was a red he took so long over it! He made a last glance to the lino before giving it out, shocking, ban him from reffing us again. 3 central defensive partnerships, all were solid. I agree with Alex Pike on Comms that Rutherford is better going forward than defending hopefully we can find a role for him once Camp comes back into the frame. Thought the sacrificial sub of Whitehall was odd , maybe thinking about more speed on the counter with Lloyd and Mitchell over 1 of them plus Whitehall, not sure how a full time player will take being replaced over 2 loanees. One last thing, things that need to change in football part 12568, when a player goes down after giving away a corner, don't get treatment so you have to go off. Get up defend the corner then go down (Maghoma 42nd min)

Thought it was a very good game, which the ref did his best to spoil with a couple of appalling decisions, but he failed.
We played superbly after the red card and deserved at least a point against a good side, who won't be pleased about not having taken advantage of us being down to 10 men.
Apart from the sending off (should have been a yellow), the officials also made a complete mess of the Whitehall-Martin substitution, for which Martin got a yellow for doing nothing wrong that I could see.
Credit to the whole team for some good football and a positive attitude throughout. Both teams looked like they wanted to win. One of the better 0-0 draws I''ve seen, and I felt much more 'entertained' than last Sat.
The manager's interview is worth listening to.

Decent performance and a well earned point. Will be interesting to see the red card incident again. Didn’t think it was and very suprised the ref gave it after such a long time. Normally a red card for a foul is brandished pretty quickly

Great performance, tremendous game for a 0-0. Created 5 or 6 first rate chances although Bromley had pace to look as if they could get in behind the back line. After sending off still created the better chances.
Three forwards, two very attacking central midfielders and two very good full backs who look great pushing forward, Lee Bradbury has put together a decent side with a lot of attacking intent.
As for the red card, I can see why it was given. Corey arrived late and caught Cheek above the boot without malice but I assume the referee classed it as out of control. Put it this way, I don't think we would win an appeal. Hopefully I'm wrong, and need a trip to Specsavers, as it will be a three game ban.

........Three forwards, two very attacking central midfielders and two very good full backs who look great pushing forward, Lee Bradbury has put together a decent side with a lot of attacking intent...... About bloody time!!! Thats what we've been asking for all season. Playing to our attacking strengths and taking the game to our opponents instead of being scared of losing with that 9-0-1 crap he has been playing most of the season.

highlights: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE5Ed_4uMoIred card incident is at 5.00. Don't think anyone would have complained had he given a yellow. If we play at Wrexham in the playoffs and one of their players does that, not in a million years are they getting sent off

I reckon they rarely overturn decisions and probably mainly for something like mistaken identity

Good to see the replay - looks worse than it did in real time, and from the Blue Stand it didn't look as if he made much contact, if any. That was the problem I had with it. But as said, the ref could judge it as out of control if he wants to. Probably could have been either yellow or red in retrospect. Also agree there's no point in appealing.
