Bromley manager Mark Goldberg felt conflicted after the 3-2 win over rock bottom of the table Kidderminster Harriers.

The Ravens fell behind 20 minutes in, as Jordan Jones fired home for the managerless visitors from the edge of the six-yard box. Louis Dennis, who converted a fine free kick in the stunning 7-3 win at Plainmoor against Torquay United last weekend, repeated the trick to haul the hosts level eight minutes before the interval.

Moses Emmanuel took advantage of a botched clearance early in the second half to give the Lilywhites the lead, and by doing so notched his 10th goal of the season, twelve games into the campaign.

Anthony Cook won and then converted a penalty to extend the lead, before Jones, grabbing his second of the game, halved the deficit for Kiddy with a deflected 25 yard effort with over 25 minutes left to play. Bromley hung on for victory, their fifth consecutive three-point haul.

Goldberg, though, felt Bromley should have been meaner at the back against a Kidderminster side that have yet to win a game in the National League this campaign.

“On the one hand I’m really delighted, but on the other hand I’ve got to make sure we sure it up,” he said.

“We shouldn’t need to score three goals to win a game.

“We knew tonight was going to be a very difficult game. Kidderminster were desperate to get their season underway, and they caused us all kinds of problems to be fair.

“We had to grind out the victory today. I thought they were a threat going forward. We just got a little bit complacent after scoring the third goal.

“I was a little bit disappointed the way that we conceded the second. It’s a bit of a story recently, we’re conceding sloppy goals but grinding out the win.”

Bromley had started somewhat slowly in the first period, but Goldberg was pleased with the notable improvement after the break.

“I said at half time to the lads, our final pass was lacking a little bit,” he explained.

“We switched play very well, we kept the ball well and we created space out wide but the movement of the front two was a little bit static when we were trying to break them down.

“The second half was much better. We created more opportunities. But the game does stretch in the last twenty minutes in any game.

The Ravens held out despite a few nervy moments as The Carpetmen pushed for an equaliser in a mammoth six minutes of injury time.

Goldberg admitted, “It’s always tight when there’s one goal in it, and there’s six minutes on the clock for extra time. We always worry here at Bromley, or away at Halifax!

“But we got the result and in the end, we showed a little bit more professionalism in those closing stages when we were one goal up.”

Emmanuel’s 10th goal of the 2015-16 season means his reign as the National League’s top scorer continues, and Goldberg puts his form down to becoming a more selfless player.

“He’s been exceptional,” beamed the Bromley chief.

“He’s playing so much more for the team. Because he’s more of a team player, he’s scoring more goals.

“He makes goals as well. I think the difference between this year and last year is that he was more of an individual maverick.

“This year, he’s more of a team player and he’s showing intelligence. Who knows how far he can go as a footballer?”

The triumph saw The Ravens jump one place in the league table to eighth. Goldberg still insists that survival is the first priority during the club’s debut season in non-league’s top flight.

“We’re a little bit disappointed that we only climbed one place tonight,” he admitted.

“It’s so hard to get wins, so when you only climb one place, you get a little bit disappointed.

“We’re looking at avoiding relegation first, and then we want to finish in the top half of the table. Once we’ve achieved that first target, I’m sure we’ll go for as high a finish as we can.”
