Bognor Regis v Bromley

BROMLEY travel to struggling Bognor Regis on Saturday hoping to return to winning ways in the Blue Square South following back-to-back defeats.

Although their south coast opponents sit just above the relegation zone, they have lost just once at home since the beginning of October while Bromley have won just twice in nine games in all competitions - with the most recent defeats against Fisher Athletic and Thurrock over the new year.

Player coach Simon Osborn said: "It will be a difficult game as it always is at Bognor. When we played them earlier this season is was clear they like to play football and we will need to do better than we did in the second game against Thurrock (Bromley lost 2-1 having beaten them 8-1 in the first game)."

He added: "The players have suffered a knock to their belief after the Thurrock defeat and we need to address that in training."

Although the Lillywhites came through the New Year's Day match with no fresh injury concerns, Osborn is waiting on the fitness of Nic McDonnell and Tutu Henriques while Garath McCleary is likely to miss out.
