THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Odds for an away win are 7-5 is the most likely result according to the bookies

I don't know what Bromley's pitch is like, but guess there's a small chance this gets postponed if they get heavy rain today and rain tomorrow as forecast? Weather warnings for both days but Saturday looks dry.

Presumably the players will travel down on Friday evening so they'll get a day and a half training with SL before. If it gets postponed they'll get an extra days training I suppose before travelling up to Harrogate on Monday.

Yep looks soggy for the next two days then sunny and dry Saturday

Their pitch is new having replaced the 3G surface they had.... Not sure if that means it is more or less likely to be playable

Maybe. I used to live there and when I went to visit my dear old mum with the baby Ramones all those years ago it was only about 2h drive...

Would be very surprised if it was off. Checking the forecast for Bromley (and assuming is actually correct) no rain is expected until 4am Friday morning and then due to stop at 12pm. Its then not due to rain again until Sunday

Yes, that hasn't changed.

Liam most be ecstatic to have the best manager he has ever worked under

Would be funny if they ask him again in the next interview and he says MW

Brilliant interview, that. Feeling really positive about the future under Lindsey.

When asked if promotion is the aim for this season, his reply was "absolutely." That's so refreshing to hear. Someone not shying away from the size of the task at hand.

He mentioned a few times about giving the players a bit more freedom and 'removing the shackles'.

We know from some of MW's comments when performances started to drop off that shackles had very much been placed on the team. Comments like "move less, stand still more" and 'shoot less' made the team very ridged. A word used to describe us by Lindsey in his press conference today, as well as his tactical analysis following the play offs.

He's only had 2 days training, so not expecting an miracles and Bromley will not be an easy place to go at all. He seems like a really likeable guy and I think even if results aren't brilliant at first, fans will not jump on his back so quickly.
