Andy Woodman, the coach of Bromley, expressed his concerns about the team’s overreliance on Michael Cheek following their recent 2-1 loss to Tranmere. Despite having 25 attempts on goal, with eight of them on target, Bromley struggled to find the back of the net until Louis Dennis scored in the 96th minute. Players like Danny Imray, Ben Thompson, and Idris Odutayo came close to scoring but were unable to convert their chances.

The defeat against Tranmere means that Bromley has now gone nine games without a win in League Two. Cheek, who has scored six goals this season, had to leave the pitch in the 55th minute due to an injury, further highlighting the team’s dependence on him for goals.

When asked about the missed opportunities, Woodman mentioned that it could be a confidence issue but emphasized the importance of taking chances in football. He acknowledged that relying solely on one player is not sustainable in the long run and called for other players to step up and take responsibility on the field.

In addition to improving their finishing in front of goal, Bromley will need to work on building a more cohesive attacking strategy that involves multiple players contributing to scoring opportunities. This could help alleviate the pressure on Cheek and make the team less predictable to their opponents.

Woodman also hinted at the need for a collective effort in defense and midfield to support the team’s offensive efforts. By working together as a unit and sharing the goal-scoring burden, Bromley can increase their chances of securing positive results in future matches.

As the team continues to navigate through a challenging period in the league, Woodman’s comments serve as a reminder of the importance of teamwork and collective responsibility in achieving success on the pitch. By addressing their overreliance on individual players and focusing on a more balanced approach to scoring goals, Bromley can work towards turning their fortunes around in the upcoming games.
