⚽ Match Thread vs. Dover Athletic 26.04.22 [NL]

late leveller for Bromley

I was at the game..

Professional performance tonight. A win is a win.

..'can't believe Dover ran Wrexham and Chesterfield close.

More difficult game at Shots on Saturday.

Think that means KL are not relegated yet. They were while Aldershot were losing.

If we finish the season getting promoted playing champagne football at the London Stadium I'll obviously be delighted, but you have to say what you see, and I don't think we've yet got the balance quite right between style and substance. As others have said, it's not a case of advocating hoofball - far from it - but my gut feeling is that we lack a bit of ruthlessness and aggression and we'll need to find it against the strong teams in the play-offs. Job done tonight though. Should have scored more, but 3-0 closes the goal difference and gives us a shot at 3rd.

yup, Shot on 38, KL on 30 with 3 to play

Was starting to fret at nil, nil. Job done though, well done.

I think most of us agree, we would be a lot stronger though with Cameron back, Brindleys pace gives us a lot of protection and his ability to bring the ball helps, if we don’t go up will be interesting if we do sign a couple more physical type players.

Happy and a bit relieved with that, I thought we might blow this one.

Especially good to win after the previous postponements and stick it up the Dover chairman.

If by ruthless you mean sticking the ball in the net, then we’re only likely to play one team more ruthless than us. I can’t disagree that we’ve not been aggressive enough at times and our game management has often cost us.

Halifax still catchable. 2nd all but gone?
