3-0 Hartlepool.
It's amazing how the league table finishing positions, and the points differences between teams do seem to be reflected in the vast majority of play-off match outcomes, even when results between two teams in the regular season might suggest otherwise.
Bromley are awful defending the long ball over the top
Bromley have just frozen, happens every so often with a team in the play-offs. Look like they can’t even control the ball.
Bromley also beat Hartlepool 1-0 recently like they did us as and have been in form comparable with ours recently, unlike Hartlepool who dipped to mid table form going into the play-offs. It just goes to show anything can happen in the play-offs.
The three goals in three minutes could have absolutely knocked the stuffing out of Bromley and Hartlepool should be home and dry at half time. That's how you kill a team off.
It's a massive mountain for Bromley to climb and Hartlepool should be professional enough under Dave Challinor to see this game out and book their place in a semi-final against Stockport.
