Manager Andy Woodman says his new signings have to get "into the Bromley way" quickly and has accused his squad of showing a "soft underbelly".
His comments came after the Ravens' 27-game unbeaten home league record was emphatically ended by a 5-0 loss against Leyton Orient on Tuesday.
They had also been beaten 7-2 at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, making it 13 goals conceded in four matches since promotion to League One.
It has been a harsh reality check for a Ravens side that took four points from their first two games, including an impressive opening-day win at Barnsley.
