Bromley boss hit by injuries

Bromley v Worcester

Bromley manager Mark Goldberg is down to the bare bones of his squad for this weekend's Blue Square South clash against Worcester City.

Six first team players are struggling with injury while David Obaze starts a three-match ban.

Jay May (ankle), Anthony Joseph (hamstring), Loui Fazakerley (knee), Nic McDonnell (groin), Jerrome Sobers (groin) and Mark Corneille (back) are all doubtful, leaving Goldberg to run the rule over a collection of trialists during Thursday night's training session.

He said: "We have some new players who have been working with us and some who we have not seen before. The problem is we don't know their calibre and whether they are good enough.

"Being at home is an advantage but with the injury list as it is, we really are taking one game at a time."

The Lillywhites, in 11th, will be looking to bounce back from a last-gasp defeat to AFC Wimbledon while Worcester City, in 12th, will want to do likewise after a 1-0 defeat to Bath City.

Despite the Lillywhites' defeat to AFC Wimbledon, there has been an upturn in form following a 5-1 demolition of Eastleigh at Hayes Lane on Saturday.

And they looked likely to take a point off the Dons before former Cray Wanderers striker Jon Main struck twice in the last two minutes to seal a 3-1 win.

Goldberg said: "Any team is capable of beating anyone in this division and we were close to taking a point off Wimbledon.

"Unfortunately we let ourselves down by not clearing the ball properly and have lost. But we will learn from our mistakes and I am still confident we can challenge at the top come the end of the season."
