Bromley not good enough at Mansfield - Woodman

Bromley manager Andy Woodman admitted his side lacked quality in attacking areas in their 2-1 defeat at Mansfield on Saturday.

That was despite making five second-half substitutions in forward areas - four of them at once with about 15 minutes to play - in a bid to get back into the game.

"Sometimes you've just got to throw caution to the wind," Woodman told BBC Radio London.

"I felt we needed to put two up top to try and give us more of a threat, two wide players to put the ball in the box and a midfielder [Will Hondermarck] that's just come back from international duty.

"That's not a bad mix to put on. We just couldn't get that final pass or that final connection and that's the difference sometimes.

"It comes down to the margins but overall we weren't quite good enough in the final third."

JJ McKiernan scored for the third game running and Woodman was full of praise for the former Lincoln City man.

"He takes up good positions, he plays off the front man, he drops in the hole, he's got a bit of everything," the Ravens boss said.

"He's been a good signing for us."

Bromley are 21st in League One and have won just two of their eight league matches.
