Bromley boss Woodman hails backroom team after vital 1-0 win over Hartlepool

BY KAI BENNETT

Andy Woodman hailed the hard work of coaches Alan Dunne and Roger Johnson after Bromley moved back into the National League play-off zone following a 1-0 home win over Hartlepool.

Jude Arthurs’ 41st-minute goal lifted the Ravens to seventh in the table with five matches to go.
Bromley head to leaders Torquay on Saturday.

Woodman said: “We rode our luck at times, our keeper was excellent. It’s a very good result.

“I still feel as though we could’ve scored a couple more, but I don’t want to disrespect them in anyway.

“We had a game plan and again the guys have executed it. Alan Dunne and Roger Johnson have put hours in to make sure we had everything covered, so testament to them two. They deserve as much credit as the players, they’ve been brilliant.”

Jude Arthurs has scored in his last two games and Woodman gave him plenty of credit.

“He did brilliantly didn’t he? I want Jude Arthurs to be the DNA of this football club. He’s committed, he shows passion, he just does everything I want a football player to do and what a supporter wants him to do.

“Mark Cousins was excellent, not just the saves he made but the crosses he took on such a windy day was top drawer. I don’t want to single anyone out, the whole team did a really good job.”

“I’m looking forward to playing against Torquay. Every team we play seems to be a top team. Other than Sutton United, all these clubs have had league football – and years of it. We’re battling against some big teams.

“We’ll go there and there will be one thing we give – that will be commitment and effort.”
