Newly-promoted Bromley looking to translate draws into wins ahead of Walsall trip

The Ravens, who secured promotion to the EFL for the first time in their 132-year history last season, have collected three draws on the spin in League Two. 

Only Colchester United (eight) have registered more stalemates than Bromley (seven) who sit three points clear of the relegation zone with two games in hand over the three teams directly below them. 

Andy Woodman's side started life in their debut season in the EFL with back-to-back wins over Harrogate Town and AFC Wimbledon respectively. 

Since, Bromley have managed just one win in their last 13 league games (drawing seven, losing five) although they're unbeaten in four in League Two. 

Main marksman Michael Cheek has scored eight times in his first campaign in the EFL and is locked on eight goals with Walsall's Nathan Lowe as the joint-second leading scorer in the division. 

Cheek has been accountable for just over 47 per cent of Bromley's tally of 17 goals with only Tranmere Rovers (10), Carlisle United (14), Salford City (15) and Harrogate Town (16) finding the net less so far this term. 

Meanwhile, Walsall midfielder Ryan Stirk will come up against his former employers after spending the second half of the 2022-23 season on loan at Hayes Lane. 

Stirk made 16 appearances for the Ravens and played in both National League play-off games as they lost 3-2 against Chesterfield in extra-time in the semi-finals. 

One-time England international and former Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson will be eligible for selection again after serving his one-match suspension. 

Jenkinson, now 32, has made four appearances for Bromley since arriving as a free agent at the end of September following his summer departure from Australian side Newcastle Jets.
