BROMLEY showed no signs of being able to arrest their slump after a miserable 3-0 defat to Chesterfield at the SMH Group Stadium last weekend.
Armando Dobra opened the scoring in the first half before late goals from Ryan Colclough and Paddy Madden finished the job for Paul Cook’s side.
The Ravens had Omar Sowunmi shown a straight red card in the 23rd minute for a foul on Tom Naylor and manager Andy Woodman received the same punishment for protesting the decision.
Bromley have lost three and drawn one of their last four league games after a twelve-match unbeaten run.
They have dropped from play-off contention as they are ten points off the top seven.
“You go down to ten men anywhere it is going to be difficult, especially that early on in the game,” Bromley goalkeeping coach Brannon Daly said. “It seems to be a bogey ground for us, we keep getting red cards here and it kills the game a little bit. We will have to watch the challenge back, whether it was a red card or not I’m not sure.
“It was always going to be an uphill battle from there, the boys did well. The first goal is a worldie and then one little mistake for the second goal and it was game over. We stayed in the game for as long as possible and we limited them to very little.”
Daly felt the scoreline was harsh.
He said: “Yeah, 100 per cent. How much has Grant [Smith] been worked? Their keeper has probably made as just as many saves as Grant. We have been down to ten men plenty of other times and nicked a point, nicked a win, we know what we are doing, but you can’t plan for those errors at the end.”
Bromley host Grimsby on Saturday at 3pm.
