Bromley manager Andy Woodman wants Ravens to learn 'dark arts'

Bromley manager Andy Woodman says his team need to adopt the "dark arts" to compete in League One. The Ravens started life in the third tier well following promotion, with a 1-0 win at Barnsley and a 1-1 draw with Cambridge United. Since then, however, they have been beaten 7-2 at Sheffield Wednesday, had their 27-match unbeaten home league run ended emphatically with a 5-0 defeat by Leyton Orient, and lost 2-0 against AFC Wimbledon on Monday. "We've got to make sure that we turn the corner a little bit and stop making these errors, because we will get punished for them all the time," Woodman told BBC Radio London. "I see endeavour [and] a will to win. I see them trying. I can't fault them for any of that. "But the opposition are just a little bit smarter, a little bit more streetwise [and] they're a little bit more clever in certain situations. "We need to get all those dark arts in our game, along with being a bit stronger as well. "This league isn't going to be easy. What you can't do is start feeling sorry for yourself. The way to correct it is to get back on the training pitch."
