Bromley v Havant & Waterlooville

Bromley boss Simon Osborn has admitted that his focus has switched to next season after his side's play-off hopes were dashed at Newport.

The Lillywhites needed a three-point haul to keep their hopes of a play-off place alive but after a 3-1 defeat Osborn revealed he is already preparing for 2008-09.

"It's probably beyond us," said Osborn, whose team dropped to 11th in Blue Square South after the defeat with three games remaining.

"Of course our aim remains to finish as strong as possible and win our last three games for pride, confidence and for the supporters.

"But I'll also be taking the opportunity to have a look at a few things for next season; maybe try a few of the younger lads and look at different formations."

Bromley host Havant & Waterlooville on Saturday. Osborn added: "It will be a tough game. They have obviously raised their profile with their FA Cup run and they still have a shout for the play-offs."
