Quite even so far. Torquay growing into it.

Worried about the wind second half. They started bright, but our direct method of attacking is getting us in better areas. Crosses have been poor. Got 00 written on it for me.

I think playing into the wind might help by holding up our through balls.

Not good enough. We were the only team trying to win to be fair, but conditions made it hard. Makes Stockport a more important game. Can’t see Sutton winning all their games so they’ll be another chance, plus if we do go in play off, we still look good.

What a miss at the end

Shame about the weather. If we had had the sort of conditions which Sutton enjoyed earlier in London then I think our passing game would have been more effective. We deserved more in the second half but lacked composure in front of goal. Unfortunately, I think that's it for the automatic spot - can't see us winning at Stockport and Sutton are now well in control.

They’re not well on control, but we’re likely to drop more points, which will match whatever they give us.

That was frustrating to watch. Can't remember seen a match where so many 50-50 and second balls fell to the feet of the opposition. Seemed like some kind of magnetic connection :) And what a miss at the end. A bit more composure there and it would have been 3 points.

Hopefully we will bounce back on Sunday against Stockport and that Sutton slip up. Their away match to Maidenhead won't be easy.

Unlucky and proud of the players who gave everything.

We just did not need those terrible playing conditions.

We looked leggy today but fair play to Bromley, they defended well and a draw was a fair result really. Bloody shame but perhaps knowing a draw isn't good enough against stockport may be a good thing.

I am sure GJ will take the positives, Clean sheet another game without defeat. If we keep our undefeated run for the next 3 games we will go up.
Stockport need to win next week so they will have to open up. Still all to play for.
This game was always going to be tough with the run Bromley were on.
Another week rest which will be great for the team. Then we go again.
You never know Woking might even turn up on Tues at Sutton and do us a favour.

Also will Sutton win there last 4? I am not so sure they will.

Only one team trying to win the game second half which always makes it difficult.
Afraid that miss could be the difference between the title and the playoffs. Just had to lift it over the keeper.
Don't think I can bear to watch Woking boosting Suttons goal difference on Tuesday which is another point . All those Gary time winners and the easiest chance of the lot goes begging.
