Bromley suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat away to Milton Keynes Dons in League One on Tuesday night. The loss leaves the club 22nd in the table with just nine points from their opening 11 games, having recorded only two wins and three draws all season. They are now 16 points behind the league leaders, Huddersfield.
Aaron Collins opened the scoring for the hosts five minutes before half-time. Bromley responded just before the break, with Mitchell Pinnock finishing from a George Saville pass to level the score at 1-1.
How the game turned
Collins restored MK Dons' lead just after the hour mark, and Alex Gilbey made it 3-1 in the 71st minute. Charlie Goode added a fourth late on to complete a convincing win for the home side.
The statistics reflected the one-sided nature of the contest. MK Dons dominated possession with 60% and had 22 shots to Bromley's nine. Byron Webster's side committed 16 fouls, with Kamari Grant and John McKiernan both receiving yellow cards.
This result extends a difficult run for Bromley, who have now lost four of their last five league matches. Their recent form reads as a single draw and four defeats, with heavy losses to Leicester and Crawley Town in that sequence. They have conceded 26 goals this season, the worst defensive record in the division, while scoring only 10 for a goal difference of minus 16. This defeat at Stadium MK on Tuesday 27 October follows a 1-1 draw with Peterborough, where Michael Cheek scored, and prior losses to Leicester, Stockport County, Mansfield Town, and Crawley Town.
Bromley now face a key match away at 24th-placed Wigan Athletic this Saturday, their next fixture in League One. Fans can view the full fixtures schedule as the team looks to halt this slide. Bromley's next chance for points comes at The Brick Community Stadium in a key bottom-of-the-table clash.
