After nineteen days without a game Bromley travel up to the Merseyside coast to face Southport in the National League on Saturday hoping to re-discover some form ahead of the busy Christmas campaign.

After a blank Saturday, The Ravens’ FA Trophy match at Braintree was postponed twice last week meaning they have only played one this month when they beat Whitstable Town 4-0 in the Kent Senior Cup.

Whether the break will have proved beneficial for the recovery of any of the five injured players is unknown, but it will have given new signing Adam Cunnington time to time to settle in with his new team mates.

Following the departure of Anthony Cook, Bromley’s style of play may well have to change to accommodate the loss of the winger and the arrival of a traditional target man.

Having not won a league game last month and slipped to thirteenth a change in tack is much needed.

The home side have picked up form since new Manager Dino Maamria took over, winning twice and pulling out of the relegation zone with 24 points from 23 games.

On Tuesday night Southport drew 0-0 with Worcester City in the FA Trophy at Hague Avenue after the initial game had been postponed.

This will be a tough test for Mark Goldberg’s team against an in form side looking to put a gap between themselves and the bottom four, returning with a point could prove to be vital in turning things around for The Ravens.
