Andy Woodman, the manager of Bromley FC, remains unfazed by his team’s increasing red card record in League Two. Despite picking up their fourth red card of the season in a recent match against Carlisle, Woodman expressed his lack of concern regarding the disciplinary issues.
During the game against Carlisle, midfielder Lewis Leigh was shown a red card in the 83rd minute for elbowing Blues captain Sam Lavelle. This incident marked the fourth red card for Bromley this season, with previous red cards given to Carl Jenkinson, Ashley Charles, and Besart Topalloj in different matches.
Although Woodman admitted that Lewis Leigh’s red card was “ridiculous,” he defended the other red card incidents, stating that they were either unfortunate or necessary for the game. Despite the disciplinary challenges, Woodman emphasized the importance of maintaining a balance between aggression and discipline on the field.
In the match against Carlisle, Bromley managed to salvage a point with a late goal from Dan Adu-Adjei after being reduced to 10 men. Woodman praised Jude Arthurs for his defensive efforts in the closing minutes of the game, preventing Carlisle from scoring a late winner.
Looking ahead, Woodman remains focused on improving his team’s performance and addressing the disciplinary issues to avoid further red cards in future matches. While acknowledging the need for more discipline, he also highlighted the importance of maintaining the team’s competitive edge without compromising on sportsmanship.
Despite the challenges faced by Bromley, Woodman’s positive outlook and emphasis on team spirit and determination are key factors in guiding the team through the demanding League Two season. With a strong sense of resilience and unity, Bromley aims to overcome obstacles and continue their pursuit of success in the league.
