So when are we allowed to start worrying that we're not winning any of the pre-season games? Or is it just for fitness etc... We lost to Barnet in our last friendly last year, but made a flying start to the season. Don't think there's much link at all between winning in pre-season and starting the actual season well - the manager should be using it for fitness, bonding and tactical familiarity, not short term non-competitive results.

Yeah, we won the Cambridge United v Cambridge United squad friendly so I'm not too worried.

This sort of sensible, logical, well reasoned post really winds me up. We need full on hysteria that we haven’t won for 3 games and calls for Paul Barry’s head.

Looks like that line-up for the first game was 3 at the back with Digby in there to me? Second one looks more likely to have been 4 at the back.

Judging by the highlights on the Bromley Twitter they had their coaching staff running the line. First goal looks clearly off and the last one is such a bad decision they must not actually know the rule he's so far off.

If ok, could have still done a job in the centre of our midfield last season…

For all those worrying unnecessarily about a preseason friendly: Bristol Rovers also lost against Bromley today.
