I'm (Quinny) getting the blame for putting the jinx on the 1's good run of form by going along to watch, but a good few of 'em need to look at their own lack of maturity and discipline for the reason why they let a 2 goal lead turn into a 2-4 defeat.

A super start to the game saw us take a 2 goal lead within the first 6 or 7 minutes, when first a free-kick from all of 40 yards out was absolutely smashed home by Flav with the longest run up ever seen, for what they describe these days as a worldy. With pretty much the next attack Jaff turned well and put Tom through on the edge of the area, his left foot shot on the turn was parried by the 'keeper, but Jaff had carried on his run and pounced on the rebound to smack it home from a tight angle.

We really didn't look in any trouble at the back and should have gone three up when a Jack run down the right saw him pick out Tom's head, his first effort rattled the bar and with the keeper stranded Tom had the easy job of nodding it into the empty net, but somehow he didn't put enough on it and the keeper managed to recover and pluck the ball out of the air on the line.

From the next attack we got caught napping down the right and a deep cross found their dangerman who cut back inside and shot low and hard giving G-Man no chance...2 - 1.

Bromleians then had the better of the rest of the first half and from a corner following a great save by the G-man a headed effort was again saved by G but we didn't react quickly enough to clear the rebound and they managed to poke it home for 2-2.

Tom limped off with an ankle injury and Stevie B came on in defence with Flav moving to left mid and Anthony going up top.

Petulant isn't a strong enough word to describe Flav, but I'll stick with that so the editors don't hash out my words - he copped the hump first with his team-mates then with the ref and the oppo, and there was only ever going to be one outcome. First a booking for handball after he thought he'd been fouled but the ref didn't give it, and then from the resulting free kick a flying elbow caught his opponent around the ear and off he went - I give up on him, he'll never grow up.

10 minutes of general petulance followed and of course we were now on the back foot. A deep cross from the area where Flav would have been was met on the volley by the Bromley striker for a good finish to put us behind and then a fourth with about 12 minutes to go sowed it up, although if anything we actually passed the ball around better and pressed more when down to 10, with Jaff having a good effort from a free kick well saved, and a number of free kicks and corners being scrambled away by the Bromley defence.

MoM - I'm not sure we had one, I'll give it to G-man who couldn't be faulted for any of the goals and pulled off 3 or 4 great saves.

Matt Davies - has to be Tom - stood on the side lines he went to catch the ball and went A**E over T*T backwards over the kit bags in front of a mob of spectators and players who had just finished on the adjacent pitch......he went beetroot red!!  ;0))
