i thought the pass might be over hit at first, but she is so damn quick.

85’ good run by Dolder down left wing but scuffs shot wide from a narrow angle.

89’ misplaced pass allows BS to shoot but good save by Axe.

Yellow for Arnott, unclear why.

Edit - correction, it was Makowska who was booked.

FT BS 2-3 WW.

Another good win on the road, not so dominant today, maybe the physically draining Chelsea game three days ago had an effect. Until that third goal went in, a draw would have been a fair reflection of play. Nine points from three is a wonderful start, it goes a long way to safety!

Match stats. Again, sub appearances are missing, Ailish and Lois, not sure if Abi got on. Our second goal was an o.g. on 10’.

Those watching online today will have heard a Bournemouth coach on the camera side of the pitch giving instructions, with the bench on the other side of the pitch. He appeared to be a designated coach, from what he was saying, and I thought they had to be within the confines of the bench area.

As a coach myself I find this happens all too often in grassroots football. At National League level surely this kind of stuff should be stamped out. It confuses the players and can be quite intimidating for the opposition depending upon the demeanour of the coach.
