Form Guide

From the Dugout – Luke Garrard
“The boys are happy to return back home and the pitch is a massive factor in that. Having travelled to St Albans, Chester and Guiseley, it is nice to come back.
“I have watched Bromley against Gateshead, Woking and Maidenhead; Terry Harris went and watched them against Dover in the FA Cup.
“They have got pace, they have got a threat in forward areas and they are big and strong on set-pieces, I think that they have got quality across the board.
“I know that I say it all of the time and it must get boring, but it is about what we do and it is about how we go about our business.
“We have dissected what their strengths and weaknesses are, we have worked on a little bit of the analyst stuff this morning, and the boys understand how we are going to go about our game plan.
“For me, it is fundamentally about us, and how we go about our game.”
