BROMLEY boss Andy Woodman says his side are “learning on the job” but “learning quickly” after they picked up a point on the road against Colchester United at the weekend.
Michael Cheek scored a 23rd-minute penalty after Ellis Iandolo had fouled Nyamabu Dinanga.
Owura Edwards came off the bench to score the leveller for Danny Cowley’s side on the hour in front of a 4,877 attendance at the JobServe Community Stadium
Bromley’s Besart Topalloj was dismissed in the sixth minute of added-time for a second yellow for a foul on JK Gordon.
The Ravens have seven points from five games in League Two and are eleventh in the table.
“I’ll take a point away from home, at this point in the season,” Woodman said.
“We are learning on the job and learning quick because last week, we might have lost this.
“It’s no good me flowering it up and saying we were brilliant in both halves
“I’d be lying if I said we weren’t up against it a little bit in the second half.
“They brought on some pretty quick players and pressed us back a little bit, like you expect the home team to do.
“I think they’ll be a little bit more disappointed than us but we’ll take a point.
“I’m only worried about what we do and I think it’s a good point for us.”
Bromley lost their second league game of the campaign the previous weekend when they conceded two late goals at home to Crewe Alexandra.
Woodman said: “Last week, we were in a good position and we took our foot off the pedal and cost ourselves.
“We’re learning on the job and we’re learning pretty quickly, so I’m well happy.
“I think it’s really important to remind everybody that we haven’t got the riches and the budgets of these clubs.
“It’s not an excuse, that’s just fact and I’m not moaning about that.
“We’ve not got as much money to spend on players as other clubs.
“We’ve kept the core group of the players that went up and I think they’re doing well. I think they’ve given a good showing.
“If you’d have said to me seven points at this stage, I’d have said, ‘brilliant’ – so I’m well chuffed.
“We know what we are, we’re not a big club, we’re a small club that’s on the up and we’re growing and learning so no qualms from me.
“A point at Colchester – we’ll take that.”
Bromley host Notts County on Saturday at 3pm.
