Many good performances tonight in our 4-0 win. Bover and Warren very impressive and Euell worked hard, showing nice touches and took his goal well. Alonso came on second half and was very comfortable on the ball but also fought to win it back. Only negatives for me were Evina good going forward but suspect in defensive mode and Mambo looked all over the place. Millwall on Saturday will be a far tougher test and it will be interesting to see who CP chooses. IMO there were a number of players out there tonight who, if they maintain this level of performance, will be challenging for selection this season.
alonso played decent .. he can spot a good pass , but its obvious he has missed some training - little bit slow . good defending and decent attacking , more of a link up man
Goals from Euell, Popo, Harriett and Aziz(?). Davisson was ok. Having been doubtful about Euell before tonight I must say he looked fit and put in a full shift. If he is looking for a contract he will have made CP take notice

Was also dubious about calls for Euell to return but if he is fit and we can sign him on a short term contract on reasonable wages then he can surely offer something at L1 level
A real handful for defenders, the athletic Azeez burst onto the senior academy scene in 2009/10 with six goals in 20 outings.
The speedy striker - who attended Coopers School, in Chislehurst, and is from Orpington - has a great leap and likes to run in behind opposition rearguards.
Azeez arrived at the club at U14 level and has worked hard on improving his all-round game.
Keep checking Bromley FC's youtube account for decent highlights. They've got this years pre-season games vs. Gillingham and Cray Wanderers up, so hopefully they were recording again tonight.

Don't think Honoure did enough for a contract tonight. Vetre, Hart and Powell all watching from the stand. Francis was outstanding. He's been very impressive this pre season.
Spent 30 mins wondering who the woman chatting to Powell was, then she turned round and it was Vetre!
Warren looks like a good prospect for me, always wanted the ball and a good touch, just a bit young and weedy for first team action at mo but if he bulks up over the year he should be in contention. Euell looked good and nice goal (but as Henry says this was v Bromley). Honore tried but without much joy, assume he will be gone given he only lasted 45 mins?
Bover has a nice touch but looks very lightweight and not sure he will make an impact this season, although he has the ability so fingers crossed. Evina, quick but not great. Alonso looked a class apart albeit no where near fit...will definately push for the starting 11 when he is though...think he will be excellent in League1.
Bromley fan stood next to me asked..."who is the Charlton number 6 - I would be worried if he was a CB for Bromley, all over the place!" Sadly that summed up Mambo's night, still it is the only game i have seen him play so hopefully more potential, the Doc next to him also did not give confidence...we desperately need another CB for the season to support Taylor & Morrison.

Couldn't agree with this more. We without doubt need another CB as I will be very nervous if Mambo has to play any league 1 games. Hopefully Dailly will re-sign now he is back training with us.
Without being rude does anyone know the fan who was wearing the blue away shirt, small, quite fat and bearded, he kept getting his belly out and scaring the kids.
This was a strange game - we were lucky not to concede in the first half as Bromley created more chances that us and looked dangerous. Gough did well in goal - think he is still only 17, but looks much older. Have to agree about Mambo - their big striker caused him untold problems. We settled down well in the second half and looked more composed on the ball, creating more chances and looking much more comfortable. Question marks about Evina and Honore though - neither looked that good. Midfield performed well and Euell looked okay. A decent run out for predominently a 'development team' against non-league opposition. Good to see the last three goals coming from former/current academy players.

Sat fairly deep but broke forward a few times. Seems strong but he wasn't busting a gut in his first game, looked for a pass.

Yes, Pritchard looked good again. full of running and uses the ball well.
