BROMLEY boss Andy Woodman has responded after receiving an endorsement from one of the most experienced managers in the EFL.
Bristol Rovers chief Steve Evans, who is in his tenth job in charge of a Football League club, reckons Woodman is the boss of the year across the entire EFL.
That was before the Gas travelled to Hayes Lane last weekend when Will Hondermarck scored the only goal of the game for the League Two leaders.
The Ravens then followed that up with another 1-0 win against Newport County at Rodney Parade on Tuesday night thanks to Corey Whitely’s goal against his former club two minutes from time.
Bromley are unbeaten in 20 league games and are five points clear of Milton Keynes at the top of the table. Woodman’s side have a nine-point buffer back to Notts County in the first play-off place with eight games left.
Woodman led Bromley into the EFL for the first time in their history in 2024 and he is now closing in on another historic promotion.
Former Arsenal goalkeeping coach Woodman was delighted with the praise from Evans.
“That’s a nice compliment from Steve, and I’ve got a lot of respect for Steve,” Woodman told From Bromley With Love on YouTube.
“Steve’s managed at the highest level, and despite what people’s thoughts are of Steve, I’ve always had a huge amount of respect for [him]. I have to say, Steve probably gives someone like myself a lot of hope that we can get up to those levels because he’s done it.
“So that coming from Steve, I didn’t know that and that’s much-appreciated and and it goes a long way.”
Bromley face mid-table Colchester United at Hayes Lane on Saturday (3pm).
