Bromley Boss Andy Woodman Delighted with Team’s Professional Victory
Bromley boss Andy Woodman expressed his satisfaction with his team’s performance after securing a 2-0 win over Harrogate, highlighting the professional display in the second half as a key factor in their success.
The Ravens took an early lead in the match with first-half goals from Michael Cheek and Jude Arthurs, putting them ahead before heading into the break. Despite the lead, Woodman acknowledged that the team’s performance in the first half was not up to par, emphasizing the need for improvement.
Reflecting on the match, Woodman commented, “I was surprised we went in 2-0 up – I don’t think we were particularly good in the first half. We couldn’t string too many passes together. But when we put quality crosses in, we reaped the rewards. We have players who want to get in the box and finish the crosses.”
Dominant Second Half Performance
Woodman credited his team’s professional and workmanlike approach in the second half for their ability to completely nullify Harrogate and prevent them from registering a shot on target. The Bromley boss praised the players for their control and discipline, highlighting their defensive efforts in maintaining a clean sheet.
“We were professional and really workmanlike in the second half,” Woodman noted. “We didn’t give them anything. We were in complete control. I’m really chuffed with the results, clean sheet and three wins on the spin.”
The victory over Harrogate was not without its challenges, as Woodman acknowledged the competitive nature of the match. Despite external perceptions that the game might have been easy, Woodman emphasized the team’s status as newcomers to the league, underscoring the significance of each win in their journey.
“It was a tricky game. Everybody thinks it should be an easy game, but let’s remind ourselves that we’re fresh in the league. We’re onto the next one now,” Woodman added.
As Bromley looks ahead to future matches, Woodman’s positive outlook and focus on continuous improvement are evident. The team’s commitment to maintaining a high level of performance and building on their recent successes bode well for their prospects in the league.
In the midst of a challenging and competitive season, Bromley’s victory under Woodman’s leadership serves as a testament to the team’s resilience and determination. With a solid foundation and a strong sense of teamwork, the Ravens are poised to make their mark in the league and continue their pursuit of success.
