We return to Ashton Gate this weekend<br />
for our first outing in BS3 this season,<br />
and it’s going to be a fantastic<br />
occasion. <strong>Southampton</strong> are the<br />
visitors to the West Country for the<br />
very first time after their promotion<br />
and I’d like to welcome their staff, squad and<br />
supporters to Ashton Gate.<br />
Last season we had contrasting results when playing<br />
at Ashton Gate, however even defeat did not detract<br />
too much from the occasion which saw us surpass<br />
a league record attendance. The noise that filled the<br />
stadium when the ball hit the back of the net was<br />
deafening and I hope to hear that level support again<br />
on Sunday afternoon.<br />
We’ve enjoyed a successful start to the new season<br />
with three wins and three clean sheets! Wins and clean<br />
sheets are a baseline objective of ours as group of<br />
players and staff, so to have started so well and have<br />
the belief we can find a further two even three gears is<br />
pleasing for us as staff<br />
Of course, at times I would like games to be less<br />
tense, however, to be in these situations early in the<br />
season - where there is only a goal in the game -<br />
stands us in good stead moving forward as it allows<br />
the group to grow and learn from high-pressure<br />
situations.<br />
Shania (Hayles) proved to be our match winner last<br />
Sunday and it is safe to say she has hit the ground<br />
running. We knew she could add even more goals to<br />
our team and it’s fantastic to see she, alongside our<br />
other signings have seamlessly transitioned in our<br />
system and style of play.<br />
This weekend’s opponents will prove to be our<br />
toughest test so far this season against a wellorganised<br />
<strong>Southampton</strong> side. They have shown what<br />
they’re capable of last weekend in beating tabletoppers<br />
Crystal Palace, so we know we’ll have to bring<br />
our a-game for ninety minutes if we’re to get the result<br />
we desire.<br />
For those of you that will be joining us at Ashton Gate<br />
– thank you for your support, show the girls you’re<br />
right behind them and we’ll ensure we do everything in<br />
power secure the three points!<br />

<strong>Women</strong> will be aiming to continue their winning<br />
momentum and stern defensive displays this weekend when<br />
they take on the Saints in BS3.<br />
The opening three rounds have<br />
proved fruitful for points (9), but<br />
another pleasing aspect will be<br />
that the Reds haven’t conceded a<br />
goal in 270 minutes of Barclays<br />
Championship football.<br />
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s<br />
showdown at Ashton Gate,<br />
goalkeeper Fran Bentley reflected<br />
on the first three rounds and<br />
echoed the playing group’s<br />
excitement to be back at Ashton<br />
Gate<br />
“We’re excited! Ashton Gate is<br />
a great place to play, we really<br />
enjoyed the two games last season<br />
with the atmosphere the fans<br />
created,” she said.<br />
“We want clean sheets just as<br />
much as we want goals so to have<br />
started with three wins and three<br />
clean sheets is pleasing for us as a<br />
group. The challenge now is can we<br />
push on and keep that going.”<br />
Bentley made her switch to the<br />
West Country a permanent one this<br />
summer, signing from Manchester<br />
United after a successful loan-spell<br />
which saw the goalkeeper awarded<br />
<strong>City</strong>’s Young Player of the Year<br />
“It was great fun! These<br />
opportunities are rare for keepers<br />
in the women’s game, and it was<br />
really enjoyable.<br />
“The focus of the session was onev-one,<br />
blocking and spreading your<br />
body and that’s been an area of my<br />
game that I have realty wanted to<br />
focus on.<br />
“With their experiences and that<br />
being such strong part of Dan’s<br />
(Bentley) game it was so good to<br />
get the little bits of insight and<br />
information from him when we<br />
were going through the session.”<br />
Bentley believes that <strong>City</strong> face their<br />
toughest test yet in the newlypromoted<br />
Saints, who got the<br />
better of the <strong>Robins</strong> at St Mary’s<br />
last season in Fourth Round of the<br />
Vitality <strong>Women</strong>’s FA Cup.<br />
“I think we’re going to be continually<br />
challenged throughout the season<br />
and this weekend <strong>Southampton</strong> will<br />
bring a different challenge to what<br />
we have faced so far. They bring<br />
a threat through their attacking<br />
transitions and they can be direct<br />
when they need to be.”<br />
“I’m loving it. With my experience<br />
here last season it was what I really<br />
wanted to do. It’s been great so far<br />
and I’m looking forward to the rest<br />
of the season.”<br />
In the build-up to the <strong>Robins</strong>’ clash<br />
with <strong>Southampton</strong> both Fran<br />
Bentley and Liv Clark were involved<br />
in a joint session with <strong>City</strong> men’s<br />
Dan Bentley and Stefan Bajic, led by<br />
First team Goalkeeper Coach Pat<br />
Mountain.<br />
