Notts County head coach Ian Burchnall felt missed chances proved crucial after their unbeaten run was ended by Bromley.
The Magpies slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Hayes Lane where Jude Arthurs' goal on the stroke of half-time inflicted a first defeat since November.
Notts came close to scoring on three occasions in a decent first-half performance as Callum Roberts was denied twice by Mark Cousins as Ruben Rodrigues also hit the post.
