Andy Woodman claims Bromley were ‘by far best team’ against Chesterfield
Bromley manager Andy Woodman claimed his side were ‘by far the best team’ in the 0-0 draw against Chesterfield and that they would have to take their late penalty miss ‘on the chin.’
The Ravens had a glorious chance to win it at the death but Nicke Kabamba’s 88th minute penalty was saved by Zach Hemming after Dylan Duffy was judged to have handled in the box.
Both teams had chances in the game, with Jude Arthurs, Omar Sowumni and Mitch Pinnock going close for the visitors, while Lee Bonis, Freddie Ladapo and Tom Pearce almost netted for the Spireites.
On the match overall, Woodman said: “It is a tough place to come, we have known that over the years. It is a big club in this league that has got riches that we could only dream of. They have signed seven players in this window. It was always going to be tough but I thought we were by far the best team out there today. I thought we were brilliant. We were solid. It is a good point away from home, there won’t be many teams who come here and get a result.
"I keep hearing people say we are a one dimensional team but I don’t think we were too one dimensional today. I thought some of our build-up play in the right areas was fantastic. We just couldn’t get the breakthrough today but on another day we will.
"I think we are by far the fittest team in the league and I think we see it every week. Every week teams can’t live with us. There are many elements to a football team and that is one of super strengths.
"These teams that play out from the back – it is brilliant for us – we probably should have had a goal or two when they were doing that.”
Had Kabamba scored his penalty it more than likely would have secured an eighth straight win for the league leaders but Hemming dived to his left to keep it out.
Woodman added: "The keeper has made a good save in my opinion. If the keeper goes the other way it is a brilliant penalty. Nicke should not have his head down because he has got us out of situations before. The keeper has guessed the right way and it is a good save – it was in the corner – and you have to take it on the chin.”
