We mustn't lose faith, says Bromley chief after derby reverse at hands of AFC Wimbledon
No room for self-pity. Andy woodman in usual no-nonsense form post-match : Picture by @YTJourno Bromley's bid to get back on an even keel after two fearful batterings in the past week fell flat, as they were well beaten by south London rivals AFC Wimbledon. Monday night's 2-0 defeat at Hayes Lane may not have been as embarrassing as the 7-2 shellacking at Sheffield Wednesday or the 5-0 home defeat to Orient but it suggests a worrying direction of travel for the Ravens as they

It was a buzzy Copperjax Community Stadium ahead of kick off : Picture by @YTJourno League One Bromley (0) 0 AFC Wimbledon (1) 2 Stockley 8 Hippolyte 67 It may be too early in the season to be overly significant, but it still felt important. Bromley did not concede the avalanche of goals that have descended on them in the past week, but they were still very much second best at Hayes Lane against an altogether slicker AFC Wimbledon. The Dons scored in each half and were less

EFL roundup: Relief for Orient, Bromley's extended unbeaten home season lands them League Two title
The biggest capital winners on the final day of the EFL season were undoubtedly Orient and Bromley, as Millwall missed out on automatic promotion, while QPR, Charlton and Watford all lost. The O's started the day in danger at the foot of League One - a two point advantage over Exeter City looking fragile in the event of a win for City down at St James' Park against Bradford City. Even a draw would not have been enough had Exeter won, but in the event, the Grecians lost 2-1 to

Almost a promotion party, as expectant fans arrive at the Copperjax : Picture by @YTJourno League Two Bromley 0 Cambridge United 0 The frustrated voice of a young fan speaking to his mates at full time summed it up perfectly: "That was bloody annoying," he said. "I was all ready to celebrate." That was undoubtedly the feeling among the vast majority of fans gathered at the Copperjax Community Stadium in the hope of witnessing another huge moment of glory.

Weekend roundup: Big away wins just the ticket for Bees, Hammers, Palace, Millwall and Bromley
Picture by @YTJourno A first win at Newcastle since 1934 has given a huge boost to Brentford 's growing ambition to qualify for Europe. They moved up to seventh in the Premier League table after their brilliant 3-2 victory at St James' Park which was sealed with a late strike from Dango Ouattara. Vitaly Janelt had a great game, clearing off the line before heading home an equaliser to cancel Sven Botman's opener at a corner. Igor Thiago then put the Bees ahead from the spot a

'We've got to keep some realism about the place' - Bromley boss reaction to dropped points
Feet on the ground - Andy Woodman's calm reaction to late equaliser : Picture by @YTJourno The message was clear: We shouldn't expect Bromley to roll over everyone who visits Hayes Lane between now and the end of the season. It was obviously a blow to concede deep into injury time, but the 2-2 draw for the Ravens at home to Crewe on Tuesday night was hardly a disaster, according to the boss. Andy Woodman's side are now unbeaten in 10 games and have a handy six-point cushion

And they are determined not to wake up from it. OK, so they did not quite get the win they wanted to extend their lead at the top of the division to eight points, but if they can still come close to winning on an off day where they had only 31 per cent of the ball, things are looking good.

Hammers alive and kicking. QPR late woe, Millwall and Bromley unstoppable : Saturday roundup
Signs of life : Picture by @capitalfootball Just when they seemed dead and buried, West Ham have suddenly sprung to life. A couple of weeks ago they lost at home to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest to plunge the club into despond. Now, a week on from a last-gasp win at Spurs they claimed a 3-1 win against Sunderland to breathe more life into their hopes of survival. A first half blitz brought goals from Crysencio Summerville, Jarrod Bowen (from the penalty spot) and Mateu
