Luke Williams understands Bromley tactics following Meadow Lane draw

Luke Williams explained he had no problem with Bromley's timewasting during their 1-1 draw with Andy Woodman's side, understanding the difficulty of making those decisions and when to stop play.

In what was a frustrating evening for the Magpies, Adam Chicksen's sixth goal of the season was cancelled out by Michael Cheek's near post header in the second half.

And as the game went on, a number of Bromley's players forced referee Lewis Smith to halt the play after going down with individual injuries, which infuriated the Notts fans inside Meadow Lane.

The official for the game this evening was subject to a chorus of boos following the full-time whistle, with many Magpies fans feeling hard done by the number of decisions that went in favour of the opposition.

It was the first point Bromley have picked up in their last three matches, losing all three of those fixtures in the National League, keeping them two points off the play-off places.

And speaking after the game, Williams explained he had no problem with the tactics on display by the Ravens, explaining it is difficult for the officials to know when to stop the game when a player is down.

"For the opposition, no problem because they have to try and do what they can do to fulfil their game plan.

"But the referee of course needs to control the game better, but it's not easy because you have to take each action on merit, and if the player is down you have to believe the player and not just say, let's play on.

"I don't think there is a problem there. It is a different type of style, but I have no problem with it at all."
