BROMLEY moved closer to completing another historic season after they came from behind to beat Shrewsbury Town 2-1 at Hayes Lane on Tuesday and will claim the League Two title if they win their next two games.
Title rivals Milton Keynes and Cambridge United dropped points in the last ten minutes of their games on Monday, giving the Ravens the chance to go seven points clear at the top of the table.
In front of an attendance of 4,780, Bromley were naturally nervous and fell behind in the sixth minute when Bradley Ihionvien held off Marcus Ifill before firing under goalkeeper Grant Smith.
Smith denied Iwan Morgan before Ifill got to Kyle Cameron’s knockdown to beat stopper Matthew Cox.
Three minutes into the second half, Cameron hit a volley that deflected past Cox.
Bromley face second-placed Milton Keynes and fourth-place Cambridge in their next two games, and if they take four points they will be promoted.
Bromley are in only their second-ever season in the Football League as Woodman targets leading them to a second promotion in two years.
Woodman was asked by BBC Sport London what words came to mind after the game.
He replied: “Oh, that’s a good question. I would say, a little bit closer.
“Looking at the weekend, how that went, looking at how we got that last-second goal at Barnet [to draw 2-2], I felt tonight was a real pivotal moment for us, and we had to capitalise.
“I know what I was like when I was hearing those results coming through and those last-minute goals. So I know what all those managers will be thinking and all those players will be thinking. They’ll be thinking, ‘well that’s Bromley gone [up]’. I know how that feels so that was a massive moment tonight.
“Everyone’s getting a bit jittery, it is nerves. We all want to get to the promised land. It’s tight.
And it really isn’t about performance at this stage, it’s just about getting the results and grinding through the games. We’ve done that, we’ve done it all season and we’ve done it again tonight.
“That’s the most important thing – the three points.”
