After last weekend’s FA Trophy Semi Final victory, Bromley return to Hayes Lane for National League action on Saturday afternoon when they entertain Dagenham & Redbridge in a game both sides need to win to keep in touch with the play off places.

The injury woes continued with Scott Wagstaff having to go off before half time with a calf injury and top scorer Michael Cheek was unable to start the match due to illness.
Luke Coulson, Omar Sowunmi & Harry Forster were also out injured and with Marcus Sablier, Ben Margetson & Palace Francis out on loan the squad is looking very small with so many games coming up.
Woodman questioned some of his players desire in the post match interview and vowed to work hard to get a response on Saturday, stating there were still ten league matches left to play.
