Braintree Town 0 Bromley 2 - BSS - 13/11/2010
Bromley took their place back at the top of the table after an impressive display of solid defending, hard working midfield and good finishing on the break.
Braintree started the game on top, but despite creating several chances they failed to really trouble Keeper Wes Foderingham. Guy, Reason & Lechmere were all off target when well placed, while Bromley had a couple of chances on the break but Harrison Dunk & Salifou Ibrahima both missed. Late in the David Graves went off injured and was replaced by Wes Daly with Tutu Henriques dropping in at right back.
The second half saw Braintree continue to pump long balls into the box, but Foderingham was equal to the task as were both his centre backs. After an early spell of pressure Bromley took a surprise lead when Tony Finn broke down the right and his deep cross was headed back into the area by Warren McBean for Salifou Ibrahima to head home on 52mins. Braintree continued to press, but Bromley held firm Davis missing the home sides best chance when he fired wide from close range. McBean was denied twice by last ditched tackles as The Ravens continued to look dangerous on the break. Late on The Iron had a series of corners which Foderingham, Sobers & Scarborough dealt with immaculately before Bromley broke once more and sealed the victory when Finn burst out of defence and ran the length of the pitch before slotting the ball past McDonald for 2-0 in injury time.
This was an impressive win for Mark Goldberg's side at the league leaders who had only conceded 4 goals at Cressing Road before today's game.
Quote for the game, 'I told you it would be 2-0.' - Chris.
Bromley: Foderingham, Graves, Sobers, Scarborough, Dunk, Finn, Ibrahima, Henriques, Dolby, McBean, Vines. Subs: Daly, Harding, Harwood, Patterson, Holloway.

Bromley 2 Woking 2 – BSS – 09/11/2010
Bromley threw away the chance to draw level with the league leaders conceding an injury time penalty after they had dominated the second half.
The game started with both teams looking to attack, Federico & Quarm both fired over for Woking while Tony Finn had a free kick saved by Little. The visitors took the lead on 22mins when hesitant defending saw Gilroy nip in and lob Craig Holloway for 0-1. Bromley battled back and drew level on 33mins when Warren McBean powered home a David Graves cross with his head. Both sides had chances late in the half Falconbridge & Quarm went close for Woking, while Marlon Patterson had a free kick saved by Little.
The second half saw Bromley have the best of things playing some nice stuff, John Scarborough put The Ravens in front on 62mins when he placed his shot past Little after good work by Tony Finn. McBean had two good chances to extend the lead before going off injured and Harrison Dunk shot wide before deep into injury time Bromley played themselves into trouble at the back and a low cross struck Scarborough on the arm for a penalty. Gilroy tucked away the spot kick to equalise to stun the home crowd. Just before the final whistle emergency striker Liam Harwood shot just wide, but Bromley had to settle for a point.

Bromley 0 Farnborough 0 – BSS – 06/11/2010
Bromley and Farnborough drew a blank in an entertaining draw at Hayes Lane on Saturday played out by two sides who will be looking to challenge for the play offs, but play very contrasting styles of football.
Farnborough started well and had some early pressure from a series of corners, Bradley Bubb had a header saved by Wes Foderingham, but The Ravens held out against their direct style and started to come into the game as it went on. Tony Finn was at the heart of all the creativity setting up Warren McBean and Paul Vines who both headed good chances wide as Bromley had a very good spell and McBean had another effort saved by Michael Jordan, but the half finished scoreless.
Bromley started the second half well, but they were stifled by the Farnborough game plan of late tackles and theatrical diving. The game drifted for a long spell before both sides had late chances, Daryl McMahon fired the visitors’ best chance wide, while McBean was once again denied by Jordan when well placed. Neither side could make the breakthrough and in the end the points were shared.

Margate 0 Bromley 2 – Kent Senior Cup 1st Round – 02/11/2010
Bromley progressed through to the next round of the Kent Senior Cup with a professional display at a windy Hartsdown Park in Margate on Tuesday night, both goals coming from Paul Vines in the first half.
Margate started on top and had some early pressure, but Bromley created the better chances with the impressive Harry Harding, Salifou Ibrahima and Leon McKenzie all forcing saves from young Margate Keeper Krumic. After Wes Foderingham had made a good save from James Pinnock Bromley took the lead on 32mins when a low Nick Greene cross was scrambled over the line by the tireless Vines. Foderingham had to make a save at the feet of Pinnock after gifting him the ball from a poor kick before The Ravens got their second on 38mins. Marlon Patterson cut in from the left and was brought down by John Keiseter in the box for a penalty, Vines tucked away the spot kick for 2-0. Both sides had chances late in the half, Andy White was denied by Foderingham while Ryan Dolby forced another save from Krumic before the break.
The second half was played in very blustery conditions, but Bromley played some nice football and comfortably saw the game out, Ibrahima forced two saves from Krumic, Greene fired over and McKenzie shot wide before the game trailed off to a finish.
Quote for the game, 'Stokes' album will be finished before that guy is fit to play for Bromley!' - Col.

Thurrock 1 Bromley 2 - BSS - 30/10/2010
Thurrock 1 Bromley 2 - BSS - 30/10/2010
Bromley got back to winning ways with a battling display at Thurrock that saw them recapture at least some of the spirit and endevour that saw them start the season so well.
Thurrock started the game on top with Rob Swaine & Cliff Akurang going close, but Bromley slowly came into things and started to create chances. Harry Harding was denied by Joe Wooley and McBean hit both posts with Paul Vines missing the rebound before they finally broke through on 41mins. Wooley failed to get distance on a clearance and Ryan Dolby cooly took a touch before firing the ball into the corner of the net. Bromley couldn't hold on to the lead though and after Akurang had been denied by Wes Foderingham the home side drew level in first half injury time. John Scarbough mad two uncharacteristic mistakes first in losing possession and then bringing down Lee Roach in the box when trying to win the ball back. Akurang stuck away the spot kick and it was all square at the break.
The second half saw Thurrock start on top, but it was Bromley who re-took the lead on 52mins when a deep Tony Finn cross was headed home at the far post by Warren McBean who rose above both his markers to score. The rest of the game was very open and end to end, but The Ravens battled hard and kept their lead despite late pressure from the home side and secure their first win in the league since 4th September.
It was great to see the whole team play for each other, real work rate up front, Patterson look comfortable in a Bromley shirt and a determination to get the win from all involved.
Quote for the game, 'Warren's playing with a smile on his face again.' - Garvo.
