England v Bosnia and Herzegovina

:00:49. > :00:56.Welcome to Bristol, the lionesses are coming home. The Euro 2017

:00:57. > :00:59.qualifier against Bosnia and Herzegovina is their first match on

:01:00. > :01:11.these homes shores since April and a lot has happened since then.

:01:12. > :01:13.COMMENTATOR: Maybe Bronze will, oh, yes, absolute belter. Taylor could

:01:14. > :01:21.be in here. Can she finished here, Jodie Taylor? Yes, she has! Oh,

:01:22. > :01:29.brilliantly done, 1-1. Into the penalty area, it's off the bar!

:01:30. > :01:38.Williams, as cool as you like, she's done it again. England lead Germany.

:01:39. > :01:51.She's scored! Magical start for England. Good goalkeeping. Well

:01:52. > :01:55.done, Karen Bardsley. Yes, Thursday night's goalless draw was another

:01:56. > :01:58.landmark for these history makers and prove that their World Cup

:01:59. > :02:02.third-place play-off win against Germany wasn't a fluke. Now

:02:03. > :02:05.attention turns to another major competition and with me to see how

:02:06. > :02:09.England start off their home campaign, two players who have

:02:10. > :02:13.appeared in the European champions final, Kelly Smith and Rachel

:02:14. > :02:16.Brownfield at either end of the pitch in the 2009 final defeat

:02:17. > :02:22.against Germany. Great to have you with us. Kelly, what will it be like

:02:23. > :02:26.for England appearing in front of a home crowd after achieving so much

:02:27. > :02:29.this summer? They will want to perform for the home crowd who have

:02:30. > :02:34.travelled here before, coming off the Olympics, winning the Bronze

:02:35. > :02:38.medal. They probably look to see when the home game in England is, to

:02:39. > :02:43.look and perform and get the fans on board again. Really looking forward

:02:44. > :02:49.to it. They've had to wait a while, Rachel, what are the expectations?

:02:50. > :02:53.Have they changed? The crowd are expecting goals, which is fantastic,

:02:54. > :02:58.but in tournaments, England are expecting to win it. In-house, but

:02:59. > :03:02.also the media as well. There will be presentations to a number of

:03:03. > :03:07.players from Uefa marking their achievement. You have picked up

:03:08. > :03:14.yours, how did it feel? A massive achievement to get one cap, let

:03:15. > :03:18.alone 117. Going on the field, someone missing but it is an honour

:03:19. > :03:24.to represent your country and something I hold dear for ever.

:03:25. > :03:27.Congratulations. Some way to go to reach the landmark, Steph Houghton,

:03:28. > :03:31.but after England's World Cup exploits she is a household name and

:03:32. > :03:38.has been telling us how she is adjusting to her higher profile.

:03:39. > :03:44.COMMENTATOR: Making a run to the far post, Houghton, its income 1-1!

:03:45. > :03:52.Absolutely fantastic. When you need someone to step up, you're counting,

:03:53. > :03:55.that's a big goal. -- your captain. A delayed hell coming but how

:03:56. > :04:01.excited are you playing in front of your home crowd again? It will be a

:04:02. > :04:05.number Liverpool atmosphere. Through the World Cup we were always hearing

:04:06. > :04:09.about how much support we had at home, and the reception we got at

:04:10. > :04:14.Heathrow was fantastic. The messages ever since. Long time coming, but

:04:15. > :04:20.hopefully the girls will get the reception they deserve for our

:04:21. > :04:26.success in Canada. One two, three! What was it like, coming home? It

:04:27. > :04:30.was a little bit surreal, it took a while to set in. Breakfast with

:04:31. > :04:34.Prince William, going to Downing Street, meeting a certain David

:04:35. > :04:39.Beckham. It is one of those weeks where you think, oh my God, have I

:04:40. > :04:46.just done that? Are you now recognised more? Yes, ever since

:04:47. > :04:54.we've come back, me and Kirby, doing a food shop, going to the car,

:04:55. > :05:00.somebody in a white van driving past shouting "Karen, how is your eye?"

:05:01. > :05:12.Not shouting well done, but how is Yeray! He said it was OK. -- how is

:05:13. > :05:15.your eye. You had a little chat group on WhatsApp when you are in

:05:16. > :05:21.the World Cup and are you still as close? Yes, the WhatsApp group was

:05:22. > :05:25.going wild and we still have it on our phone, it is important to check

:05:26. > :05:31.in with each other and make sure we are as tight as a group when new

:05:32. > :05:37.players coming to the squad. As cool as you like, the deadlock has been

:05:38. > :05:41.broken and England lead Germany. So, as the best European team in the

:05:42. > :05:47.World Cup, that sounds good, doesn't it, how are you coping with

:05:48. > :05:50.expectations and how will you cope? I believe that as captain we can go

:05:51. > :05:57.all the way, the more we went on in each game, the momentum and belief,

:05:58. > :06:02.you could see it and feel it. Now, of course we've got expectations,

:06:03. > :06:06.but only from us inside the camp. But from outside, many teams want to

:06:07. > :06:12.beat us, try and use the pressure in a good way. Now, Steph and the team

:06:13. > :06:15.is focused on getting to the European Championships in Holland

:06:16. > :06:19.and they made a pretty decent start, thrashing Estonia 8-0 in

:06:20. > :06:25.their opening qualifier in September. The other teams in the

:06:26. > :06:30.group have played more than one game all but England can go top with a

:06:31. > :06:34.big victory today. The group winners and the best six runners-up will go

:06:35. > :06:39.through. Rachel, qualifying is surely a formality? Absolutely,

:06:40. > :06:43.they've talked about setting their sights high, winning the tournament.

:06:44. > :06:47.You can't be complacent but Mark Sampson has had the flexibility to

:06:48. > :06:50.change to date and I still think they will put out a convincing

:06:51. > :06:56.performance and come away with the win. First game for England at

:06:57. > :07:04.home, they will want to press, will it be attacking football? Yes,

:07:05. > :07:09.coming after the 0-0 draw in Germany, I expect to see goals

:07:10. > :07:14.today. Bosnia are not that good, but I think some good, attacking

:07:15. > :07:18.movement. When you're playing a team who are less good you have to get on

:07:19. > :07:24.the ball, be confident, be brave and score goals that's important, three

:07:25. > :07:28.points and the goals. The fans who have turned up are expecting to see

:07:29. > :07:31.plenty of goals as well. Scotland are underway in their home qualifier

:07:32. > :07:39.against Macedonia and we will bring you action from half-time. Right

:07:40. > :07:43.now, our commentators, Sue Smith is alongside Dominic Pierce.

:07:44. > :07:47.COMMENTATOR: That afternoon from Ashton Gate on a wretched, windy

:07:48. > :07:52.afternoon in Bristol as the French officials lead out the two teams for

:07:53. > :07:57.England's homecoming, a special welcome for the World Cup

:07:58. > :08:00.medallists. We have seen players who pass 100 caps, playing a leading

:08:01. > :08:03.role in the remarkable rise of English women's football to such an

:08:04. > :08:07.extent that they are the favourites to land a thumping victory to match

:08:08. > :08:17.those of their World Cup qualifying results. 23 consecutive clean sheets

:08:18. > :08:21.in home qualifiers, 44 matches unbeaten in World Cup and European

:08:22. > :08:24.Championship qualifiers. Bosnia, we expect, will be physical and

:08:25. > :08:30.stubborn with ten behind the ball, a high line. Mind you, that could be

:08:31. > :08:37.suicidal against England's pace going forwards. They started

:08:38. > :08:43.qualifying matches here in spectacular style. Mark Sampson,

:08:44. > :08:53.homecoming for him as well. At Bristol Academy he took them to two

:08:54. > :08:56.FA Cup finals. On the other side of the city, the

:08:57. > :09:02.FA Cup finals. On the other side of the city. The two teams line up.

:09:03. > :09:09.England in white in front of the stand named after a former Bristol

:09:10. > :09:22.City chairman from the 60s and 70s. There will be another presentation

:09:23. > :09:38.that will be made. That will be the chairman of the FA's women's board.

:09:39. > :09:44.June Scott. Fara Williams, also getting a presentation. Jill is

:09:45. > :09:49.there with her nephews, Charlie and Dempster, very special to her.

:09:50. > :10:02.Passing 100 caps in the 1-0 victory over Australia last month. Williams,

:10:03. > :10:08.her special presentation from Sue Hough. No one has played more

:10:09. > :10:18.international games for England and Williams. She has an injury, she is

:10:19. > :10:29.on the bench today. So, special presentations. A day of emotions.

:10:30. > :10:33.Another special player, Sue. Yes, of course. Katie Stoney, Fara Williams

:10:34. > :10:39.and the other players who were mentioned earlier. I think reaching

:10:40. > :10:45.one cap for your country... But reaching over 100, exceptional. It

:10:46. > :10:54.is Uefa policy for all players who reach 100 caps to get a special

:10:55. > :11:02.presentation. The FA Chief Executive Officer, Martin Glenn, is scheduled

:11:03. > :11:11.to present the award. Jill Scott! She walks with Charlie and Dempster.

:11:12. > :11:15.There he is. What a World Cup she had, she was a star in Canada.

:11:16. > :11:20.That's right, she was a household name. Jill Scott always performs

:11:21. > :11:23.well on the big stage. Sometimes he goes unrecognised but in the World

:11:24. > :11:26.Cup she seemed to step up to the mark and she had an excellent

:11:27. > :11:32.tournament. Great to see her progressing and getting better. We

:11:33. > :11:35.will pause for the anthems, head of England against Bosnia and

:11:36. > :11:47.Herzegovina. European Championship qualifier.

:11:48. > :12:51.The women's international side for 18 years, Bosnia and Herzegovina, a

:12:52. > :12:53.fairway behind England in developer and of the women's game, it has to

:12:54. > :12:56.be said. # God save our gracious Queen

:12:57. > :13:40.Long live our noble Queen Karen Bardsley, the England

:13:41. > :13:48.goalkeeper, who had such a good World Cup, playing against Germany

:13:49. > :13:52.on Thursday. Seven changes. Bardsley was excellent. Coming in, Amy

:13:53. > :14:02.Turner, who played in the qualifying win in Estonia, 8-0. Stoney, over

:14:03. > :14:05.100 caps. Laura Bassett, one of the stars of the summer, getting her

:14:06. > :14:12.first international of the campaign. Gemma Davison coming in after a

:14:13. > :14:16.title winning campaign and Eni Aluko, expecting her to score today

:14:17. > :14:25.and also Christiansen, who came on in Germany having scored in Estonia.

:14:26. > :14:31.Let's have a look at Bosnia and Herzegovina, one change from their

:14:32. > :14:45.1-0 victory in Serbia. A defensive change, the centre-back coming in on

:14:46. > :14:51.the left-hand side, the -- Dijakovic. They also managed by the

:14:52. > :15:00.national coach, Samira Hurem. Nicolette Scott -- Nikolic scored a

:15:01. > :15:05.hat-trick in an earlier match but they won't be looking for that here.

:15:06. > :15:08.Yes, England against Germany was a defensive test, how could they cope

:15:09. > :15:11.with the attacking players but today it's all about attacking and

:15:12. > :15:17.creating things and making things happen. I expect Bosnia to sit back

:15:18. > :15:22.and defend and make it difficult for England to break them down. A

:15:23. > :15:27.feature of the last World Cup qualifying campaign was how they

:15:28. > :15:35.started against Belarus, 6-0, and against Turkey, 8-0, and against

:15:36. > :15:38.Wales, which was a close game. The opening 15 minutes, crucial for

:15:39. > :15:43.England to get into their stride. It is, they need to start on the front

:15:44. > :15:47.foot. I know that it is a term that football managers use, but they have

:15:48. > :15:52.to press high, win the ball, I expect them to have five or six

:15:53. > :16:00.players going forwards at times. The England players in a huddle. Stoney,

:16:01. > :16:08.leading the chat. So experienced. Played in the European finals in

:16:09. > :16:15.2009 and 2013. On the bench through the finals in 2005. Steph Houghton,

:16:16. > :16:19.a natural leader. That's why she's picked as captain of the site by the

:16:20. > :16:24.manager. Ambitious to do well. Leading the team very well in

:16:25. > :16:29.Canada. She really did, there are a few leaders in the team, Laura

:16:30. > :16:35.Bassett and others, they have experience, and youth coming through

:16:36. > :16:42.who can help them out. The referee, from France. Finally getting the

:16:43. > :16:46.teams together, reaching the halfway line. England will kick off and get

:16:47. > :16:53.us under way, from left to right, towards the old east end, which used

:16:54. > :17:01.to be an old covered stand here. Now part of the rejuvenated Ashton Gate.

:17:02. > :17:11.A pause, a bit of quiet. A good turnout on a horrible winter date.

:17:12. > :17:14.England will kick-off their home European Championship qualifying

:17:15. > :17:21.campaign. Immediately looking for Jess Clarke. She has pace to burn.

:17:22. > :17:26.Also hungry to do well for England having been left out of the squad

:17:27. > :17:34.for Canada. Played a role in qualifying from the bench. Bosnia

:17:35. > :17:44.getting it away as far as Houghton. 66 caps for the captain today.

:17:45. > :17:49.Stokes came through to the team in a major way in qualifying for the

:17:50. > :17:58.World Cup but didn't make the finals what. Played left-sided midfield in

:17:59. > :18:06.Germany in the week. -- final squad. Christiansen trying to press high.

:18:07. > :18:15.In the final third, it is cleared away by Amira Spahic. Her club team

:18:16. > :18:17.are eight points clear at the top in Bosnia-Herzegovina even though they

:18:18. > :18:35.have played one game fewer. Confident side.

:18:36. > :18:42.Bassett, she was touched by the messages of goodwill after the

:18:43. > :18:46.semifinal own goal against Japan. The nation rallied behind her. They

:18:47. > :18:53.really did and she really appreciated it. She wants 2015 to be

:18:54. > :18:56.over although she had a fantastic World Cup, although Chi scored an

:18:57. > :19:04.own goal and was sent off controversially in the cup final.

:19:05. > :19:09.She will start fresh in 2016. What a mentally strong player she is.

:19:10. > :19:11.England with Eni Aluko. Christiansen. The first corner of

:19:12. > :19:23.the day. England in an interesting group on

:19:24. > :19:28.the edge of the penalty area, look at that little huddle. Their set

:19:29. > :19:36.pieces were a feature of Canada 2015. Using Lucy Bronze so well. She

:19:37. > :19:40.isn't playing today, she has a knock and she wasn't risked for this.

:19:41. > :19:48.Stoney is trying to get away from her marker. Headed on. Stoney was

:19:49. > :19:58.really being impeded and held back. It looped up and over. Certainly

:19:59. > :20:03.Radeljic was hanging on. It was like a rugby tackle, really stopping

:20:04. > :20:08.Stoney's run. You can see she has a go at the official, to be aware of

:20:09. > :20:10.it. That is what they will do, physically trying to prevent England

:20:11. > :20:18.from getting any opportunity in the area. She got away in the end.

:20:19. > :20:30.Bosnia-Herzegovina have a free kick now. Hadzic, another one of those

:20:31. > :20:33.players from that club team. Nikolic scoring the winner in their previous

:20:34. > :20:38.game, expected to be the main danger. Tall and rangy and will be

:20:39. > :20:42.the target of the free kick with the orange boots. Skip away, a bit of a

:20:43. > :20:54.slip and a slide. Had a great spell late in the first

:20:55. > :21:10.half on Thursday, when she started to dictate play. Has a great engine.

:21:11. > :21:20.It wasn't a good ball out. Not cleared very well. Davison, what a

:21:21. > :21:25.season she had with Chelsea. Title cup winner, eight goals for Chelsea

:21:26. > :21:31.this season. Winning the league at Liverpool and Arsenal as well.

:21:32. > :21:40.England are looking to breakthrough Manchester City's Nobbs. Away by the

:21:41. > :21:44.Bosnian captain. Following up, Amy Turner of Notts County. That's a

:21:45. > :21:49.free kick. Turner, the fourth International for her. Made her

:21:50. > :21:53.debut in March against Australia. I'm pleased for Amy Turner that she

:21:54. > :21:57.has a chance at right back. She played that in the cup final and I

:21:58. > :22:02.think Mark Sampson was watching. She was probably mocks County's best

:22:03. > :22:09.defender. -- Notts County. Having a chance to show what she can do in

:22:10. > :22:13.front of the home crowd. Mark Sampson, hails from across the River

:22:14. > :22:20.Severn in South Wales. He was at Swansea in the Academy. When Roberto

:22:21. > :22:35.Martinez was at Swansea. A powerful header. Back through from Aleksic.

:22:36. > :22:48.Half chance for Davison to turn and run. Christiansen looking for her.

:22:49. > :22:53.Given away by Hasanbegovic. You can see that Bosnia are all in the home

:22:54. > :22:55.half, defending. Coming off the head of Melissa Hasanbegovic, the

:22:56. > :23:04.20-year-old centre-back. England have a corner. There they go again,

:23:05. > :23:10.getting into the huddle. What's that all about? Just saying which corner

:23:11. > :23:16.they are going to do. Christiansen goes over there, they have a word.

:23:17. > :23:22.They trained this in numerous occasions, they have suddenly

:23:23. > :23:28.players to aim for. Stoney, Holton, Bassett and Turner. They are all

:23:29. > :23:37.very good in the air -- Houghton. On the edge of the box, Houghton,

:23:38. > :23:48.trying to slip her marker. Squirmed away, I think it was says leader who

:23:49. > :23:57.got it away. -- Seslija. Hodzic dived on it. Came through into the

:23:58. > :24:01.side against Serbia. She was on the bench for the early qualifiers.

:24:02. > :24:12.There is the courage. Played herself for her country -- the coach. Her

:24:13. > :24:20.club team were the European champions in club football, as a

:24:21. > :24:25.player. Kulis, playing at left-back. Not a great deal is known about the

:24:26. > :24:33.Bosnian national team. Fairly secretive about their details.

:24:34. > :24:39.Labelling attackers who are in fact defenders. Little chip towards the

:24:40. > :24:49.Bosnian penalty area, headed away by Aleksic. Smashed out by Seslija, who

:24:50. > :24:54.has moved to Minnesota in 2006 as a young girl and came back in 2010.

:24:55. > :25:09.She has gone back again, leaving her family behind. Nobbs. Driving on.

:25:10. > :25:14.The challenge on her from Hadzic. Stoney played against Colombia in

:25:15. > :25:18.the World Cup, one start in three appearances. She settled everything

:25:19. > :25:21.down in the game from the start. Stoney is such an experienced

:25:22. > :25:26.player, so good on the ball, technically very good. I'm actually

:25:27. > :25:31.really pleased that she is starting today. She deserves this. I think

:25:32. > :25:36.it's important for us to say that Bosnia-Herzegovina are a step up the

:25:37. > :25:44.ladder from the likes of Belarus who were beaten 6-0 in the qualifiers,

:25:45. > :25:47.and Turkey. A higher quality team. They have beaten Serbia and Estonia.

:25:48. > :25:51.Certainly good enough to finish in the top three in the group, it

:25:52. > :25:58.should be between England and Belgium. Yeah, I think so. A step

:25:59. > :26:02.behind England. They are not coming here to score goals, they are here

:26:03. > :26:05.to sit back and defend and limits the number of goals that England

:26:06. > :26:21.score. Not committing any players forwards. Euro 2017.

:26:22. > :26:26.Davison, a good run. Leaving the full-back behind. Edge of the

:26:27. > :26:39.penalty area. Going down fairly easily there. Finding Davison. A

:26:40. > :26:49.little backheel. Stokes, the crowd loved that one. Not file off a full

:26:50. > :26:55.house here, looking around. A chance for Bassett, playing it to Nobbs.

:26:56. > :27:04.Goes for gold! Fubar! Saved by the goalkeeper. Clarke blocked at the

:27:05. > :27:08.near post, somehow kept out. I have no idea how that didn't go in, I

:27:09. > :27:13.don't think the goalkeeper got a touch on it but what a strike from

:27:14. > :27:16.Nobbs. I thought it had gone in and Christiansen came in to get the

:27:17. > :27:20.rebound but she couldn't get there. I would like to see if the

:27:21. > :27:25.goalkeeper got a touch on that. Aleksic blocked the second one.

:27:26. > :27:29.Nobbs has it in her mind, as soon as she gets the ball. Still can't see

:27:30. > :27:37.she got a touch on it. I think she tipped it onto the bar. Jordan Nobbs

:27:38. > :27:42.shapes up and she got a touch, that's a good save from the

:27:43. > :27:49.goalkeeper. Christiansen is alert but that's a double save. England,

:27:50. > :27:53.close to taking the lead. We've already seen what the pace of

:27:54. > :28:04.Davison can do. A director run. Carrying on. The challenge was by

:28:05. > :28:10.Aleksic. At the moment, Aleksic, Spahic and Hasanbegovic are playing

:28:11. > :28:13.as a back three. Starting with Amira Spahic, the number four, playing in

:28:14. > :28:21.deep midfield but she has gone centre-back. Very much aid free with

:28:22. > :28:28.the wingbacks, Seslija and Kulis on each side. A kind of dummy formation

:28:29. > :28:31.going on, in the opening five or six minutes as if to try and fool

:28:32. > :28:39.England, but England expected them to do this. They also have Radeljic

:28:40. > :28:44.as a full-back, tracking the run of Amy Turner. Exactly as England

:28:45. > :28:50.thought it would be. Ten behind the ball. Definitely, so hard to play

:28:51. > :28:56.against teams like that, you have to move the ball quickly. As soon as

:28:57. > :29:04.they get the ball, they knew. Bending, the right foot, but into

:29:05. > :29:11.the arms of Hodzic. Trying to curb it. That's what they do, as soon as

:29:12. > :29:20.they get a stiff, they try and close down -- get a sniff. Six years after

:29:21. > :29:29.her debut for England, making the European finals that year. 2013 and

:29:30. > :29:37.in World Cup 11. A very good season, 15 goals. I think it was a very good

:29:38. > :29:44.campaign actually for Notts County, two finals. I know they didn't win

:29:45. > :29:48.them. She will work. I think the fact she was left out of the World

:29:49. > :29:51.Cup squad, she came back and played so well for her club and was

:29:52. > :29:58.rewarded with another England call-up. She was my roommate for a

:29:59. > :30:04.good number of years, so I know her very well, Jess. The brightest

:30:05. > :30:12.person on the pitch, she sees the game very well. The freaks -- she

:30:13. > :30:17.speaks very highly of you as well! A free kick for Bosnia-Herzegovina.

:30:18. > :30:23.Their results so far in the competition, mixed, thrashed away at

:30:24. > :30:25.Belgium, 6-0, and at home, 5-0. Winning at home against Estonia, 4-0

:30:26. > :30:57.and getting a win against Serbia. Dijakovic, in the number two shirt.

:30:58. > :31:02.Her first international. Just see the shape there again. Throwing

:31:03. > :31:07.bodies behind the ball. With Jess Clarke on this side, she is trying

:31:08. > :31:12.to stretch the game and hope that touchline. Jemma Davidson, because

:31:13. > :31:25.she is a natural right foot playing on the left, she is coming in field

:31:26. > :31:30.a bit more. When you have a back five or a back seven like you have

:31:31. > :31:36.here, you cannot get in front. You have to get in behind. England need

:31:37. > :31:42.to make sure they stay patient and calm, and stick to the game plan.

:31:43. > :32:10.That is what Mark has told them to do. A late challenge their from

:32:11. > :32:19.Dijakovic. And own goal in the defeat to Belgium, from Dijakovic.

:32:20. > :32:21.She just miss timed it. Christiansen will take the free kicks from over

:32:22. > :32:37.there, and the corners. There is a wicked wind here today.

:32:38. > :32:49.Very unpredictable. It isn't going to help things.

:32:50. > :33:00.Many people made a comment about your hair in this wind!

:33:01. > :33:14.Aluko had a frustrating World Cup. She started, and then had a

:33:15. > :33:18.substitutes role. It wasn't the World Cup she hoped for. Yes. She

:33:19. > :33:24.was frustrated so she will be pleased to get a start again. If

:33:25. > :33:31.Bosnia had played a high line, that would have been perfect for Aluko.

:33:32. > :33:41.13 goals in World Cup qualifying. Chelsea striker. Very intelligent. A

:33:42. > :33:47.law degree. Do all international England players have degrees? In

:33:48. > :33:51.every day and every day, getting better and better. I have a sports

:33:52. > :34:10.science degree, I'll have you know! She is playing well. This saved from

:34:11. > :34:16.Jordan Nobbs early on, and that is a good take, with players around her.

:34:17. > :34:25.It's difficult. Continues to impress me. When you are in the dressing

:34:26. > :34:34.room with former England international is from the men's

:34:35. > :34:37.team, they are always so delighted to see Sue. And officials from other

:34:38. > :34:42.countries as well. You must be very proud. I was waiting for a joke to

:34:43. > :34:58.come then! Davison has started well. Carrying

:34:59. > :35:06.it into the heart of the Bosnia-Herzegovina half, and

:35:07. > :35:10.creating danger. Gemma Davison is 1 of the best one-on-one attackers

:35:11. > :35:16.that I know on the league. Why, when she made her debut in 2009 against

:35:17. > :35:24.Iceland, she has only played in her eighth game for England? It's crazy.

:35:25. > :35:28.She didn't have the best relationship with Hope Powell. I'm

:35:29. > :35:34.not sure why. Mark Sampson has brought her back in and she is

:35:35. > :35:39.showing what she can do. As a winger, a wide player, she isolates

:35:40. > :35:48.defenders and beats them with ease. Taking the free kick, bending into

:35:49. > :35:49.the penalty area. It deflected off Yakob itch, who finally clears it

:35:50. > :36:26.away. -- of Dijakovic. I Hodzic is really on top of her

:36:27. > :36:31.game. She is very good in the air. She is coming to claim crosses. So

:36:32. > :36:43.the crosses need to be a little bit better. Aluko in there, with her

:36:44. > :36:47.pace, will get on the end of things. England bench there, with the

:36:48. > :36:52.substitutes behind Mark Sampson. They will be saying goodbye to the

:36:53. > :37:03.sports scientist for the team, and Bill Worrell, the video analyst for

:37:04. > :37:08.several years. Just wide by Aluko. That is the cross I was talking

:37:09. > :37:14.about. Just needs to be whipped in. Good play by Nobbs. Jordan Nobbs

:37:15. > :37:19.just whips it in, just behind the defence. Aluko a good run. Should

:37:20. > :37:28.have done better with her finish. Gambled and got in to the near post

:37:29. > :37:34.area. That is what you want from your striker, that instinct, to see

:37:35. > :37:36.whether ball is going. It's just that finish at the end. Good run by

:37:37. > :38:34.Hadzic. A rare touch so far by Karen Barton.

:38:35. > :38:39.I don't think she's going to get too many touches on the ball! On the

:38:40. > :38:46.other end, though, the goalkeeper is in fine form. Karen is running up

:38:47. > :38:50.and down and trying to keep herself warm and keep alert. It is difficult

:38:51. > :38:55.for the goalkeeper, when you are not involved in the game, and then you

:38:56. > :39:09.have to pull off a save. She'll be fine, though.

:39:10. > :39:17.Is that a sign of some England frustration? They are going to be

:39:18. > :39:22.frustrated. It is tough when a team sits back and all they do is defend.

:39:23. > :39:27.They are not committing players or going forward. You just have to try

:39:28. > :39:31.to keep the ball, and when you see that break or that little movement,

:39:32. > :39:35.you have to give it as quick as you can. Some of the players are just

:39:36. > :39:42.taking a bit too long with their passes, and Bosnia are cutting it

:39:43. > :39:53.out. 11 of the squad were at Euro 2013, when England were so dismal.

:39:54. > :40:00.They have so much experience. 0-0 halfway through the first half. This

:40:01. > :40:07.is reminiscent of the Wales home qualifier, laid at the New Den, if

:40:08. > :40:11.memory serves. Wales were the better team than the Bosnia-Herzegovina,

:40:12. > :40:16.and had to be patient as well. I think it will come. I think fitness

:40:17. > :40:22.will tell. The England girls are training full-time. Coming towards

:40:23. > :40:29.the second half, they just need to save -- to stay patient, and get the

:40:30. > :41:16.opportunity and take it. Bristol Rugby club also play here,

:41:17. > :41:35.of course. A rare sortie forward for Kulis. Used to be a real force in

:41:36. > :41:43.women's football, her team. SFK have been very much the dominant force in

:41:44. > :42:00.league football. A rare piece of work for Karen Bardsley. Top of the

:42:01. > :42:02.table in Croatia. Nobbs scored a couple of goals for Arsenal in the

:42:03. > :42:20.cup final. Whether England need another genuine

:42:21. > :42:59.striker upfront Scot --... That's positive from Jess Clarke.

:43:00. > :43:02.Got the ball up, and it was one-on-one probably for the first

:43:03. > :43:10.time in the 25 minutes she's been playing. She took the defender on,

:43:11. > :43:19.and won it in the corner. Again they conspire. They don't trust the hand

:43:20. > :43:25.signals, then! I haven't seen them do that before! We saw plenty from

:43:26. > :43:35.you in the World Cup finals in Canada!

:43:36. > :43:43.Into the near post, through the goalkeeper's hands.

:43:44. > :43:52.A lovely, whipped in ball. Aluko just challenged. I don't think the

:43:53. > :43:57.goalkeeper got a touch to it. Got another corner, anyway. I think they

:43:58. > :44:01.will have to produce something special to beat her. She's one of

:44:02. > :44:04.the best goalkeepers we've seen from an emerging country. She's been very

:44:05. > :44:24.good so far, the goalkeeper. I think Davison was involved in the

:44:25. > :44:33.cross. Good awareness. Christiansen takes the corner.

:44:34. > :44:38.Seven England players in there. Eight. Plenty of bodies forward,

:44:39. > :44:52.then. Aluko! Loops over. A better

:44:53. > :44:58.delivery, away from the goalkeeper. Just whips the ball in. Steph Orton

:44:59. > :45:03.does well, just directed towards goal. Aluko finds herself with lots

:45:04. > :45:08.of space, but she would have referred that to be on the floor.

:45:09. > :45:13.She has scored headed goals, but she's much better with the ball at

:45:14. > :45:19.her feet. Any Aluko is getting herself into the right positions,

:45:20. > :45:20.but needs to get them in now. What a great record of scoring in

:45:21. > :45:37.competitions. Sliced away by Nikolic, very nearly

:45:38. > :45:46.expensively. Not the best clearance. Whether she had any communication

:45:47. > :45:48.with those around her... Just shows you that they have no intention of

:45:49. > :46:04.scoring, do they? England kicking towards what used to

:46:05. > :46:11.be the old home end, the old east end.

:46:12. > :46:22.The goalkeeper had movement. Punched away. She may have got something of

:46:23. > :46:27.a clump. The positioning has been well. Maybe short corners are the

:46:28. > :46:33.right option. Bosnia-Herzegovina are not switched on. They only spend one

:46:34. > :46:38.player out. Good position from the goalkeeper. I think it might have

:46:39. > :46:43.been her own player who hit her on the head. A delayed reaction. I

:46:44. > :46:50.think she will be fine. She's had a really good start to this game. She

:46:51. > :46:53.was not the first choice at the beginning of the competition. She

:46:54. > :47:02.came into the squad at the beginning of the week for Serena Hurem --

:47:03. > :47:08.Samira Hurem, the coach. I think they have done very well. Organised

:47:09. > :47:15.and determined, England frustrated. A little Conference going on with

:47:16. > :47:20.the England players. This is where she just tries to punch the ball

:47:21. > :47:27.away. I think it is her own defender who hits her on the back of the

:47:28. > :47:29.head, or the ear. A bit of a Sunday sore head. Rub a little bit of cream

:47:30. > :48:02.on, you'll be OK! There you are. And it was a feature in the World

:48:03. > :48:05.Cup qualifiers in the likes of Belarus and Turkey, their

:48:06. > :48:10.goalkeepers were very good. I think it's something in the women's game

:48:11. > :48:15.that has been developing. In England it's getting better and better. You

:48:16. > :48:19.look at Karen Bardsley, Carly Telford, Chamberlain, who is injured

:48:20. > :48:26.at the moment. Mark Sampson doesn't know who to choose. Steph Houghton

:48:27. > :48:35.made a lovely comment in her interview to you, about how a white

:48:36. > :48:43.van driver asked her, how is your eye? Not, how well did you do in

:48:44. > :48:50.Canada? There's been so many stories from the girls. People have taken an

:48:51. > :48:58.interest in them. The whole thing was absolutely captivating. It was a

:48:59. > :48:59.real privilege to be there. The way it should be. England have

:49:00. > :49:13.possession now with Stokes. It is how World Cups should be as

:49:14. > :49:19.well, Sue. There was more innocents about it. I know it's not as high

:49:20. > :49:24.profile. I know the pressure isn't on like it is in the men's game, but

:49:25. > :49:30.there was less of a Fifa influence in Canada. It was a more charming

:49:31. > :49:35.World Cup experience. It was like it used to be in the old days, having

:49:36. > :49:43.had eight World Cups, I have a bit of experience of that. I can tell

:49:44. > :49:54.you the whole experience was greatly engaging.

:49:55. > :50:05.They are not interested in chasing that! Seslija comes back into her

:50:06. > :50:10.own half. This is very much a training ground exercise. You will

:50:11. > :50:18.see coaches putting this on, attack against defence, when they have a

:50:19. > :50:27.man over all two. Keep your discipline, he says. Keep your

:50:28. > :50:30.patients also Mac -- too. There's so many players around you, you have to

:50:31. > :50:42.make sure that the ball is to your feet.

:50:43. > :51:07.A really strong challenge by Q less on Christiansen. -- by Kulis.

:51:08. > :51:18.Steph Orton is a Durham girl. Missed the 2009 finals with a cruciate

:51:19. > :51:25.injury. Played on through 2013, she had an ankle problem. -- Steph

:51:26. > :51:32.Houghton. She can shoot from distance. It might take something

:51:33. > :51:38.like that. It might take an effort from that sort of range. Just a bit

:51:39. > :51:43.of brilliance, and Steph has got a great technique with her right foot.

:51:44. > :51:49.So why not have a go from there? A little bit wayward with her shot.

:51:50. > :51:55.Shot to fame in the Olympics of 2012. And a very, very good World

:51:56. > :52:00.Cup. On one or two adverts for things now. I think she was the

:52:01. > :52:16.first woman player on the front of a football magazine.

:52:17. > :52:24.Didn't used to have seats over there in the lower tier. There was a big

:52:25. > :52:25.wall, a drop-down. The first big cantilever stand in English

:52:26. > :52:42.football. The chairman was connected to

:52:43. > :53:14.Bristol City as a young man, and you revered them, I can tell you.

:53:15. > :53:27.This is where, perhaps, they need to move the ball a bit quicker.

:53:28. > :53:34.11 Bosnian players between her and the dead-ball line in the last 25

:53:35. > :53:39.metres of play. That was much better from England. They were passing the

:53:40. > :53:44.ball. Went to the right wing and then back onto the left wing. It is

:53:45. > :53:54.about switching players as much as you can, so they can't shift across.

:53:55. > :53:59.You can see that some of the England players are getting frustrated

:54:00. > :54:17.because they can't go forward. That's not what they are used to.

:54:18. > :54:49.That's long and plunging into the England penalty area.

:54:50. > :55:22.Davison well, fleetfooted. -- well-balanced.

:55:23. > :56:02.That's long and plunging into the England penalty area.

:56:03. > :56:12.The captain might think about having a go. Toni Duggan was making a run

:56:13. > :56:19.at the edge of the penalty area. That is an option off the bench for

:56:20. > :56:21.him. Jodie Turner out there on the bench today. She's got a slight

:56:22. > :56:57.injury. A wintry Sunday afternoon. Mark

:56:58. > :57:07.Sampson looking on. Marianne Spacey looking with him. Over 90 caps for

:57:08. > :57:12.England. She plays a big, big role alongside Mark Sampson, does

:57:13. > :57:16.Marianne. And the fact she has played for England, at the highest

:57:17. > :57:18.level, she's got that relationship with the players. And they really

:57:19. > :57:37.respect her, which always helps. Blocked and away by Begovic -- by

:57:38. > :57:59.Hasanbegovic. England could do with a breakthrough before the interval.

:58:00. > :58:08.Nikolic has carried well for her side. It will come back on the

:58:09. > :58:18.Bosnian defence. You wonder how long they will be able to keep this up.

:58:19. > :58:24.England players out of season now. Chelsea beaten by Wolfsburg. Davison

:58:25. > :58:26.of Chelsea, Houghton of Manchester City. They need to win silverware

:58:27. > :58:40.next season. The well-positioned Spahic got it

:58:41. > :58:48.away. She has played very well for Bosnia-Herzegovina. She has. That's

:58:49. > :58:55.better. It is that diagonal ball. You have got the pace of Davison and

:58:56. > :59:00.with Aluko spinning off. It is a case of getting that final pass. If

:59:01. > :59:04.Jess Clarke could have just found Aluko, and there was another player

:59:05. > :59:45.coming in. It could have been a chance.

:59:46. > :00:12.Safety first by Stoney. 25 yards higher. Up you go! You can just hear

:00:13. > :00:17.Mark Sampson there. The shot was deflected by Spahic. England have a

:00:18. > :00:21.corner, but more significantly, they are starting to look a lot fresher

:00:22. > :00:26.than one or two of the Bosnian players out there. It is so

:00:27. > :00:30.difficult. When you are just chasing the ball, you don't have any

:00:31. > :00:37.possession, you are just closing down. It is mentally and physically

:00:38. > :00:44.draining. Half-time cannot come soon enough for Bosnia-Herzegovina here.

:00:45. > :00:48.A crucial time for England. This ground has been developed. There is

:00:49. > :00:54.a coffee bar in there now, a sports bar and Grill. It was a hot dog

:00:55. > :01:01.stand in my day, and it wasn't very savoury!

:01:02. > :01:08.Clarke at the far post, the goalkeeper was beaten to it, beaten

:01:09. > :01:13.by the flag. Wonderful ball in, whipped in at the back post. Jess

:01:14. > :01:23.Clarke isn't bad in the air as well. Seems to miss time her jump -- miss

:01:24. > :01:32.time her jump. Not a lot. It's time to come. Nobbs. Can they get the

:01:33. > :01:43.cross in? Deflected away, England have a corner. I can't think we have

:01:44. > :01:51.more than one minute of stoppage time. A booking, no gold,

:01:52. > :02:08.substitutions, all bookings really. -- no goals.

:02:09. > :02:26.The referees having a word. I don't know what that is about, Hadzic has

:02:27. > :02:32.gone down. She's saying she got elbowed. Well, there's nothing in

:02:33. > :02:38.there at all, she was holding onto her, she didn't need to go down.

:02:39. > :02:44.Hate to see that. That's something that the women's game really prides

:02:45. > :02:53.itself on. Nowhere near. Complete playacting. One minute of stoppage

:02:54. > :03:00.time. Towards the far post and gathered by a very good goalkeeper.

:03:01. > :03:02.A more and more frustrating afternoon for England. There you

:03:03. > :03:17.have the confirmation. Your overall thoughts on the first

:03:18. > :03:20.half? Like you mentioned, a first rating afternoon, England have to

:03:21. > :03:28.stay patient, keep the ball and move the ball a bit quicker at times, use

:03:29. > :03:32.the space out wide. When they get a goal, hopefully the floodgates will

:03:33. > :03:36.open. They have had the ball and the chances but the Bosnian goalkeeper,

:03:37. > :03:43.Hodzic, is in great form, which is why it is 0-0 dill at half-time.

:03:44. > :03:48.Frustrating first half for England. Not exactly going to plan, is it? It

:03:49. > :03:56.isn't, you would expect England to be a couple of goals up. It should

:03:57. > :04:00.be a couple. For me, the key to the game is keeping Davison and Clarke

:04:01. > :04:05.white, they are coming too deep into the middle of the park which is

:04:06. > :04:12.already congested -- duping them wide -- keeping them wide. Your

:04:13. > :04:16.thoughts on the first half? Some credit to Bosnia, they have no

:04:17. > :04:21.interest in going forwards. It is like a brick wall! It is, but as

:04:22. > :04:26.Kelly said, they have two stretch the pitch, get Bosnia-Herzegovina

:04:27. > :04:33.chasing the ball, they will get tired. A bit tired, sometimes Eni

:04:34. > :04:37.Aluko has been standing on her toes. Nobbs has done the movement quite

:04:38. > :04:43.well. Stretching the pitch, creating space. The Bosnian players defending

:04:44. > :04:48.so deep, all in their own half. We should see some examples of that

:04:49. > :04:52.now. Turning off the back shoulder here. You can see how many Bosnian

:04:53. > :04:59.players there are, so congested. This is what I mean about getting

:05:00. > :05:03.players wide. We have watched her players within five yards of each

:05:04. > :05:07.other. You can't breakdown a back line of seven or eight players when

:05:08. > :05:14.you are in small space. Jordan Nobbs has done well, always checking her

:05:15. > :05:18.shoulder, looking to receive the ball and we have had some chances

:05:19. > :05:23.from distance. I think Jordan Nobbs has tried, and Christiansen on that

:05:24. > :05:28.occasion, Steph Houghton has had a go, but they are difficult to break

:05:29. > :05:33.down. Jordan Nobbs could have put them 1-0 up on ten minutes. Look how

:05:34. > :05:38.many numbers behind, so hard to play against. You need to have the

:05:39. > :05:45.numbers out wide. No chance for a shot. Eight players and then they

:05:46. > :05:51.break. Get Jemma and Jesse bit wider. It is frustrating and it will

:05:52. > :05:54.come. Keep pressing, try and win the ball but they are the key for me.

:05:55. > :06:00.Bosnia have come with a game plan and so far it has worked. Jordan

:06:01. > :06:07.Nobbs nearly put England 1-0 ahead. She did this in the Continental cup

:06:08. > :06:14.final, low back left. Probably should have headed back in,

:06:15. > :06:18.Christiansen. Clarke was close. Jordan Nobbs, no backlit, just

:06:19. > :06:24.whacked it. The goalkeeper reacts a bit late. The goal-line technology,

:06:25. > :06:28.definitely does not go in. As a former goalkeeper, I have to say

:06:29. > :06:36.credit to the goalkeeper. Reacting well to the second one as well to

:06:37. > :06:42.give Bosnia in it. -- to keep. Bosnia are ranked outside the top

:06:43. > :06:45.50. Often that implies that they goalkeeper has been very weak and in

:06:46. > :06:53.the women's game, they are the first target, but she's not even their

:06:54. > :06:57.first choice goalkeeper. She has been great and saving everything.

:06:58. > :07:02.England are playing into Bosnia's hands. She is dominating her area.

:07:03. > :07:06.She takes it comfortable it. Get the ball into the box come across it on

:07:07. > :07:10.the floor for the players coming in. You can play it like that, or you

:07:11. > :07:15.can have somebody pinning the goalkeeper, you see it domestic

:07:16. > :07:19.league, Clarke pinning the goalkeeper, not letting her have

:07:20. > :07:26.free rein. Probably freezing at the other end, Bardsley. It is difficult

:07:27. > :07:30.for the goalkeepers because it could go down the other end and it could

:07:31. > :07:35.be a goal, so she has to keep switched on. Yes, conditions don't

:07:36. > :07:40.help the goalkeepers but she must ensure she stays switched on and

:07:41. > :07:45.controls the rest of her team. Eni Aluko had a couple of chances we

:07:46. > :07:50.should be able to see. This shot is bread and butter for her, a great

:07:51. > :07:55.ball in from Jordan and Eni needs to slow down her run at open up her

:07:56. > :08:02.leg. Great ball in and it should have been a goal. A bit of composure

:08:03. > :08:08.at the end. I think here, Eni is not known for her heading prowess. She

:08:09. > :08:12.probably had time to bring it down. Having a look over your shoulder, a

:08:13. > :08:17.bit of awareness, perhaps turn and volley it. A bit of awareness and

:08:18. > :08:22.composure. Who impressed you the most in the first half? Davison was

:08:23. > :08:28.good in that she was breaking lines and she was unpredictable. She is an

:08:29. > :08:31.off-the-cuff player. She has been the difference but she can't drop

:08:32. > :08:36.deep to get on the ball because that is counter-productive. Jordan Nobbs

:08:37. > :08:40.is making the game take, trying to play forwards, trying to dictate the

:08:41. > :08:44.game and she needs to get on the ball a bit more. The other home

:08:45. > :08:51.nations will be doing all they can to qualify for Euro 2017 alongside

:08:52. > :08:56.England. Scotland seem to be doing a pretty good job so far, they are top

:08:57. > :09:02.of Group 1, level on points with the top seeds Iceland after three wins

:09:03. > :09:04.from three. They are in qualifying action against the lowest ranked

:09:05. > :09:15.team in the group, Macedonia. Expecting plenty of goals in this

:09:16. > :09:21.one. The Scots have been bossing the early exchanges, really bright start

:09:22. > :09:27.by the team in the brand-new pink shirts. Lord has crossed and

:09:28. > :09:34.dangerous, the first goal has come and no surprise, Scotland have

:09:35. > :09:41.scored it. Jane Ross, in their quickest and sharpest with the

:09:42. > :09:46.opening goal for Scotland -- there. Lauder, wreaking havoc so far on the

:09:47. > :09:55.left-hand side, Hayley Lauder. They can't contain her at the moment. She

:09:56. > :10:00.will win a corner here too. Lauder made the goal and she has made

:10:01. > :10:07.herself known so far, giving Macedonia's defends a torrid time in

:10:08. > :10:15.these opening moments. Lauder has gone for goal herself here! The

:10:16. > :10:23.Scots have made a strong start and they've scored a second. Macedonia

:10:24. > :10:26.cannot complain this rampant Scottish team. Love, her third goal

:10:27. > :10:32.of the qualifying campaign, ten for the national team overall. Passed in

:10:33. > :10:37.by Kim Little, lovely cross and another one for Scotland. The goals

:10:38. > :10:47.keep on coming. Jennifer Beattie has this one. They can't contain the

:10:48. > :10:52.crosses, can they? Lauder, and now Lisa Evans. Escaping the challenge

:10:53. > :10:56.and getting the ball across. Bouncing ball, not cleared here. It

:10:57. > :11:04.comes to Lauder, another goal for Scotland. Four and counting. She has

:11:05. > :11:08.made two and she has now scored one herself, Lauder. This was too easy

:11:09. > :11:15.for Scotland. They are cruising, coasting. Pasting Macedonia.

:11:16. > :11:32.Beattie. No flag. Lauder's cross. Lauder

:11:33. > :11:38.makes three goals, Scotland have five. His time, Lisa Evans adding

:11:39. > :11:45.her name to the ever-growing list of Scotland chorus. But Lauder, this

:11:46. > :11:51.first half for her, made three, scoring one -- Scotland's scorers.

:11:52. > :12:03.Lauder on the left-hand side, really promising for the Scots. Lauder's

:12:04. > :12:09.cross. Yet again, the same old routine and Jo Love has another. The

:12:10. > :12:18.left-hand side for Scotland is producing such joy in this first

:12:19. > :12:24.half. Six goals and Jo Love with a brace. A very different first half

:12:25. > :12:28.for Scotland. After missing out in their last two qualifying campaigns

:12:29. > :12:33.in the play-offs, is this their best chance of qualifying for a major

:12:34. > :12:37.tournament? I do, they are joint top of the group with Iceland. The game

:12:38. > :12:43.against Iceland in June will be a pivotal game, as to whether they

:12:44. > :12:47.qualify top, or go through as a potential one about. It has been

:12:48. > :12:56.nearly but not quite previously. But the quality of players they have is

:12:57. > :13:00.phenomenal. This year, I'm positive. Wales did not have the best start in

:13:01. > :13:06.their Euro qualifying campaign, conceding seven goals in two defeats

:13:07. > :13:10.against Austria and Norway. But a 4-0 victory against Kazakhstan

:13:11. > :13:14.lifted them off the bottom of the group ahead of their match with

:13:15. > :13:18.Israel on Tuesday afternoon. Northern Ireland are in a tough

:13:19. > :13:22.group, beaten 8-1 at home to Switzerland on Friday and they will

:13:23. > :13:29.face the Czech Republic and Italy next in April. The group winners and

:13:30. > :13:33.the six best runners-up will go through to the finals. We've seen

:13:34. > :13:37.the impact of Northern Ireland and Wales qualifying for the men's

:13:38. > :13:40.European Championships. What is the prospect of the other home nations

:13:41. > :13:44.doing the same in the women's game? We would like to see them follow

:13:45. > :13:49.suit, but it is a big uphill struggle for Wales. They lost

:13:50. > :13:52.against Austria and Norway in their group and Northern Ireland losing to

:13:53. > :13:57.Switzerland, so it will be very difficult, as only one at the top

:13:58. > :14:03.will get out of qualification. I can't see it, but it would be great.

:14:04. > :14:10.You never know. In Bristol, England, zero, Bosnia and Herzegovina zero at

:14:11. > :14:13.half-time. That's get anything from inside the England camp, the

:14:14. > :14:22.goalkeeper Alex Greenwood, she's not a goalkeeper! She is with Uzi. What

:14:23. > :14:26.are your thoughts? Good possession, creating chances, if we go down the

:14:27. > :14:31.sides we will create chances, get the white players a bit wider. --

:14:32. > :14:37.with Suzy. Great performance against Germany, you must be high on

:14:38. > :14:42.confidence? Yes, personally. A great display in Germany, solid

:14:43. > :14:46.defensively and to come away with a draw shows how far we have come.

:14:47. > :14:50.What will Mark be saying to them in the dressing room? Still be

:14:51. > :14:55.positive, 45 minute ago, we don't need to panic, the goals will come,

:14:56. > :15:02.we need to keep our width and create chances down the side. Do you hate

:15:03. > :15:06.watching from the sideline? Yes, it is a squad of 23 and we all have to

:15:07. > :15:09.do it at some point. Interesting stuff, what needs

:15:10. > :15:13.do it at some point. Interesting second half? Must England be more

:15:14. > :15:20.creative? Bring the same energy they have, be patient, I keep saying it,

:15:21. > :15:32.get Jess Clarke and Gemma out wide. I would like to see Clarke getting

:15:33. > :15:40.on the scoresheet. She has real ability to do 1-2s with a look at --

:15:41. > :15:45.with Eni Aluko upfront, so I would like to see Telford coming on. A

:15:46. > :15:50.very bright future ahead of her, impressive performance. She has done

:15:51. > :15:55.OK, I would like to see more, staying wide. She is one of the best

:15:56. > :15:58.one against one attacking players we have in England and now she is

:15:59. > :16:07.starting to shine on the world stage, Davison. She is so good

:16:08. > :16:10.technically. She moves her feet so well, gliding past defenders with

:16:11. > :16:14.ease and this is why she's one of the better players for Chelsea.

:16:15. > :16:21.Fantastic season and she's in the England team because of that. She

:16:22. > :16:25.has earned her place but she will be have to be careful about holding

:16:26. > :16:31.onto the ball in possession. Teams are very physical and you can get a

:16:32. > :16:34.good kicking if you hold onto the ball a lot which we have seen

:16:35. > :16:38.happening before Scott Wight what will Mark Sampson be saying to them

:16:39. > :16:43.at half-time? I agree with Alex Greenwood, he will be saying to

:16:44. > :16:48.remain patient, stick to the game plan, which I'm sure what to make

:16:49. > :16:52.the pitch wide. Add stick to the set pieces, they have had many corners

:16:53. > :16:58.which should be coming to fruition -- and stick. Because they are so

:16:59. > :17:02.backed up in front of goal, test them, bring them out and try and

:17:03. > :17:09.have a long shot, or if they go out, slip it through to Eni Aluko dill in

:17:10. > :17:12.the gaps. We have seen the goalkeeper punching out quite a view

:17:13. > :17:19.shots, but follow them in and try and pick them up. Once they get one,

:17:20. > :17:21.the rest will start following. Games against inferior opposition gives

:17:22. > :17:26.mark the chance to try out some new players and options in the second

:17:27. > :17:32.half. Ess, Fran Kirby is an ideal player for the game, she is very

:17:33. > :17:36.good 1-1, I would like to see Toni Duggan coming on, she has been

:17:37. > :17:40.inspirational for England. She had an injury but she can create and

:17:41. > :17:46.score and take on players, so they would be my changes. Have Bosnia

:17:47. > :17:51.been better than we expected? In terms of their organisation, it has

:17:52. > :17:53.been impeccable, it is shot from distance where England have had

:17:54. > :17:59.their only chance is, so credit to them. England have two stick to

:18:00. > :18:03.their game plan, they are the superior team and they have to make

:18:04. > :18:09.it count but let me handy back to our commentary team, Jonathan Pearce

:18:10. > :18:13.and to Smith. COMMENTATOR: England will settle now for a repeat of the

:18:14. > :18:19.first ever England international victory at this ground, in 1899,

:18:20. > :18:29.England beating Wales 4-0 in the men's game, goals from Steve Bloom,

:18:30. > :18:32.he got a couple. A long while ago. They will settle for any kind of

:18:33. > :18:38.victory now, a wretched afternoon in terms of the weather, against this

:18:39. > :18:41.Bosnia-Herzegovina team. Interesting, I have been watching

:18:42. > :18:45.Fara Williams talking to Bassett, who has been playing out of position

:18:46. > :18:52.in the holding midfield role, which is the Williams role. Giving her a

:18:53. > :18:57.few tips and a bit of advice. That's great, shows you the unity of the

:18:58. > :19:02.team. Needs to release one or two shot gun passes, quarterback style

:19:03. > :19:09.passes faster, use the ball more quickly. Get the ball out wide, the

:19:10. > :19:12.girls mentioned it at half-time, Davison and Clarke are isolated and

:19:13. > :19:16.they can beat defenders and then it's the delivery, the final

:19:17. > :19:21.bawling. The goalkeeper has done well -- the final ball in. Rachel

:19:22. > :19:26.mentioned it, can the players follow in? England will have the wind

:19:27. > :19:31.behind them in the second half, from the left-hand side. It is swirling

:19:51. > :19:58.us underway. The band starts to make some noise. The stand on the

:19:59. > :20:03.left-hand side. Stokes, driving down the line. Davison ahead of her.

:20:04. > :20:26.England's best player on Thursday. The captain, Steph Houghton. In the

:20:27. > :20:32.back of the net, one or two fans hadn't heard the whistle. It was a

:20:33. > :20:43.long while before it looped into the back of the net. It was a good

:20:44. > :20:48.diagonal ball from Houghton. Just before the ball arrived at her feet

:20:49. > :20:55.she came from an offside position. Squeezed in between two defenders,

:20:56. > :21:05.Hasanbegovic and Spahic. Christiansen was being tugged and

:21:06. > :21:17.that is a daft free kick to give. The ball from Houghton is there.

:21:18. > :21:26.Giving away more free kicks, tracing the game, they will tire. The fact

:21:27. > :21:36.that this is a 3 sided ground at the moment, they are breaking a

:21:37. > :21:36.brand-new West stand right behind our

:21:37. > :21:37.brand-new West stand right behind means... There it is, it means the

:21:38. > :21:45.wind and rain is dying from that's right. The old TV gantry used to be

:21:46. > :21:54.where we are, I think the first gantry over there, when I was 12

:21:55. > :22:01.years old, Bristol City. That was only about ten years ago, wasn't it?

:22:02. > :22:08.Nobbs, here comes the cross. Way ahead of their time, video analysis

:22:09. > :22:14.of games, that was in 1972. Another free kick here. Nobbs has gone

:22:15. > :22:20.down. She is OK, though. She drew the challenge in. She did, she

:22:21. > :22:26.actually won the ball first and got her body in between herself and the

:22:27. > :22:31.ball. She was brought down. She won a good foul. She knew she was going

:22:32. > :22:38.to get it. This is gladly, it is promising. Into the hands of Hodzic.

:22:55. > :23:30.claim. You can see that Bassett is trying

:23:31. > :23:39.to draw the players out and they are not going towards her. Very

:23:43. > :23:50.It's a goal kick. It isn't England's days so far. This is a

:40:07. > :40:12.Yakob itch. Here's that is what England need. Just a little bit of

:40:13. > :40:21.luck. Steph Houghton could not get a clear head on it. Nikolic got

:40:22. > :40:25.nothing on the ball. Miss timed her jump and smacked into the back of

:40:26. > :40:31.the England captain. I don't think she even went for the ball. A

:40:32. > :40:42.curtain of rain hanging down on Ashton Gate. Look at that on the far

:40:43. > :40:46.side. I seem to remember it rains that night when Bristol City got

:40:47. > :40:48.promotion against Portsmouth. Can't remember the rest of the night, to

:40:49. > :41:09.be honest! A bit of a blur. Fortune favoured Aluko there. The

:41:10. > :41:13.goalkeeper has played very well. I don't know if we can see the angle

:41:14. > :41:18.again, but as the ball comes in, it's words just in front of her.

:41:19. > :41:22.Probably because of the wind and the driving rain. It could have gone

:41:23. > :41:25.horribly wrong for her, but she chose to get it away, rather than

:41:26. > :41:48.miss the catch. Duggan has brought something extra

:41:49. > :42:17.to the party, I think. Very lively. Wants to get on the ball.

:42:18. > :42:24.Is Bosnia-Herzegovina can hold onto this, it will be the biggest result

:42:25. > :42:33.in their women's history. Without a shadow of a doubt. It will go to the

:42:34. > :42:38.team that finished third in the world in the summer, and to come

:42:39. > :42:45.away with a draw like this. What a result! They have worked very hard.

:42:46. > :42:55.Can they keep it up to the end? Scott! England have the

:42:56. > :43:00.breakthrough! On the day, her beloved and nephews were here to see

:43:01. > :43:07.her specially honoured by the FA! They see Jill Scott head England

:43:08. > :43:13.ahead. A wonderful day for her now. I am so pleased for Jill Scott with

:43:14. > :43:17.that goal. But good work by Aluko down the left-hand side. If Jill

:43:18. > :43:21.Scott is in the area, you know she will win the ball in the air. That

:43:22. > :43:26.is a good directed header. Yes, the keeper could have done a bit better

:43:27. > :43:31.there. She has done excellent all night, but so pleased for Jill

:43:32. > :43:37.Scott. She got a great reception when she came on, Jill Scott. One of

:43:38. > :43:44.the most popular players in the squad in the women's game. A great

:43:45. > :43:49.character. A vital, vital goal. Scored against Estonia away in the

:43:50. > :43:53.first game. She's just got that desire, and the passion to get on

:43:54. > :44:02.the end of the ball. And want to score. Could the weather get any

:44:03. > :44:27.worse? Duggan has been lively since she came on. She wins the free kick.

:44:28. > :44:31.Bassett forward. Scott in there again, wiping her face against the

:44:32. > :44:51.rain. That was a risky challenge. She

:44:52. > :45:07.could be in big trouble here. She could get a read for this! It's

:45:08. > :45:12.yellow. If the French referee... She was going to give the England player

:45:13. > :45:18.the benefit of the doubt. That's a yellow. It's definitely not a red

:45:19. > :45:23.card. The ball just slipped away from her on this surface. The studs

:45:24. > :45:30.were not raised. She just turned the ball away at the end. Saved her. It

:45:31. > :45:35.did. She's had a good game. That would be really disappointing for

:45:36. > :45:53.her, if it had been a red card. It wasn't a deserved one.

:45:54. > :46:00.That is the extent of the Bosnian ambition, when they get forward.

:46:01. > :46:04.Just to wind down some extra seconds. And then they just run back

:46:05. > :46:11.as quickly as they can, to get into the shape. A 1 -0 win wouldn't be

:46:12. > :46:17.enough to take England to the top of the group, but it would be a

:46:18. > :46:24.victory. On a day like this, against very, very well organised

:46:25. > :46:26.opposition, of whom Amira Spahic, the number four, has been

:46:27. > :46:49.outstanding. So has the goalkeeper. Not sure if you would have heard a

:46:50. > :46:58.buzz on the line there. I think it is the water getting in! Duggan was

:46:59. > :47:02.off the ball there. She was looking at the referee as well there. I

:47:03. > :47:11.don't think it was as strong a shout. It wasn't. She did get

:47:12. > :47:15.pushed. It was a good delivery. It's like she mistimed her jump slightly,

:47:16. > :47:22.and did get a bit of a nudge in the back. It wasn't as strong as Steph

:47:23. > :47:28.Houghton's earlier on, which was definitely a penalty, for me. The

:47:29. > :47:33.wind seems to be veering so that the rain is coming into our faces now. I

:47:34. > :47:54.have just stood back a little bit. England totally dominant in terms of

:47:55. > :48:13.possession. They remain totally dominant with

:48:14. > :48:39.the ball. We said on Thursday night, when we

:48:40. > :48:43.watched the England game... Are you surprised that Jill Scott scored

:48:44. > :48:50.tonight against Osney? It was a good call from you again. It is a very

:48:51. > :48:56.low success rate over the years! Disappointing! Very impressed with

:48:57. > :49:02.your pace, getting down there to do the half-time interview. And running

:49:03. > :49:04.back in the rain. You didn't know this, but we were running a secret

:49:05. > :49:45.camera on you, in case you slipped! Confirmation of the crowd. 13,000.

:49:46. > :49:51.That's a terrific result for the FA, and for England's women's

:49:52. > :49:59.football. Very much on the up. Because it is a rotten day. Fans

:50:00. > :50:11.could have stayed away. Stokes was hurt, but still got the cross in.

:50:12. > :50:21.Good one to touch. Jordan Nobbs involved again. She's so lively in

:50:22. > :50:27.and around the penalty area. Got so much energy, and isn't afraid to

:50:28. > :50:31.issue to. Just under 15 minutes left. There is confirmation of that

:50:32. > :51:04.attendance. Nikolic was the girl who scored a

:51:05. > :51:32.hat-trick against Estonia. England haven't conceded a home goal

:51:33. > :51:42.in qualifiers since France scored at Selhurst Park in a World Cup

:51:43. > :51:50.play-off back in 2003. Were you playing that day? I knew you were

:51:51. > :51:52.going to ask that! I think so. Can you remember the games you play?

:51:53. > :52:24.Last week, just about! So much of England's players have

:52:25. > :52:32.seen a player picking up possession facing away from the penalty area.

:52:33. > :52:42.Amira Spahic has been outstanding for Bosnia-Herzegovina. They have

:52:43. > :52:46.had two or three back into the goalkeeper. Hasanbegovic, the tall

:52:47. > :52:59.number five, has played well. Kulis, the left-back. With 12 minutes to

:53:00. > :53:03.go, they will be delighted with the scoreline, Bosnia-Herzegovina. They

:53:04. > :53:07.will. I have been impressed by how tirelessly they have worked. They

:53:08. > :53:13.have Resch arrived and made it so hard for England. It will be a

:53:14. > :53:40.defeat for them, but an honourable one. Not yet, of course.

:53:41. > :53:54.The fans haven't left. They will be absolutely saturated. It used to be

:53:55. > :54:00.an indoor bowls area on that far side. I don't know whether it is

:54:01. > :54:04.still there. The first in the country to have one as well. Bristol

:54:05. > :54:28.City, trendsetters, back in the day! Dijakovic is going to go off. I

:54:29. > :54:30.think that is to protect her. She's had a yellow card. She's had a

:54:31. > :54:44.warning. Duggan. A lengthy stride. It of pace

:54:45. > :54:55.about her. Corton has come away to this left-hand side. -- Steph

:54:56. > :55:02.Houghton. It was worth a go. When the ball finds you in acres of space

:55:03. > :55:10.there, why not just have a go? Here comes the substitute. She has played

:55:11. > :55:17.in all four qualifiers so far. Off goes Dijakovic. Lihovic plays in

:55:18. > :55:31.Sweden. She has scored at international

:55:32. > :55:40.level. One in 12 international games. England are going to make a

:55:41. > :55:45.change too. It is going to be Rose to come on. She'll be given a

:55:46. > :56:51.tremendous reception. Nikolic plays a lot of her football

:56:52. > :56:56.of the centre forward. They have rarely gone more than 30 yards

:56:57. > :57:07.beyond their own dead all line today.

:57:08. > :57:18.Eight minutes to go. 1-0. It's not what people expected. It's not what

:57:19. > :57:22.people wanted. They will accept the win, but how critical Will Mark

:57:23. > :57:29.Sampson B of his team's performance? I think he will be frustrated, as

:57:30. > :57:33.the players will be, but I think he will be quite happy with the three

:57:34. > :57:36.points. They will have to work on how to break down a team like this,

:57:37. > :57:44.and I'm sure that's something he will do. There will be other games

:57:45. > :57:47.that this will happen in as well. Off goes the captain. On comes Jemma

:57:48. > :58:04.Rose. DFA's Young Player of the Year in

:58:05. > :58:13.2011. Scored that year against Doncaster. FA Cup runner-up with

:58:14. > :58:18.Bristol. Now plays at Arsenal. Plays in top-flight football, and in

:58:19. > :58:34.finals. The Continental Cup this year.

:58:35. > :58:43.The precious thing for England now, in the last six minutes of play, is

:58:44. > :58:47.to ensure there is a victory. I think there is no doubt that will be

:58:48. > :58:54.the case, but can they get another goal, or a couple of goals? Just for

:58:55. > :59:11.the fans. Turned out in absolute force, in this horrible weather.

:59:12. > :59:17.You are a few crackles at home. It is because the are being affected by

:59:18. > :59:30.the water. England need to be disciplined and

:59:31. > :59:38.well drilled. A free kick for Bosnia-Herzegovina. What is it about

:59:39. > :59:44.holding your phone torch up these days? Why did the youngsters do

:59:45. > :59:50.that? Sue Smith, you are a youngsters. The free kick went all

:59:51. > :59:56.the way through. Don't ask me. I'm not a youngster any more! I think it

:59:57. > :59:59.just looks nice, doesn't it. You are shaking your head at me! I am a

:00:00. > :00:16.fool. Why many things... Away by Duggan. There is no

:00:17. > :00:26.ambition, really, beyond going away with this defeat, keeping the

:00:27. > :00:33.scoreline down. Their best hopes lay with the 0-0 draw. So much better

:00:34. > :00:41.today, Bosnia-Herzegovina, they were pretty poor against Belgium. Belgium

:00:42. > :00:48.shouldn't beat England in the group but they have two big wins against

:00:49. > :00:51.Bosnia-Herzegovina. I think England will find it easy against Belgium

:00:52. > :00:58.because they will come out and play a bit more. Winning at home to

:00:59. > :01:20.Bosnia-Herzegovina 6-0, and away, 3-0.

:01:21. > :01:29.Lihovic was there. Away it goes a goal kick. That's what it's

:01:30. > :01:47.Lihovic was there. Away it goes a about, having a good day!

:01:48. > :01:55.Who is your Man of the Match? Quite tough, it has been difficult for

:01:56. > :01:59.many of them. I have Ashley gone for Gemma Davison for the first half

:02:00. > :02:05.performance. -- I have actually gone. She was lively and creative,

:02:06. > :02:13.she wanted to make things happen. I have gone for Gemma Davison. A

:02:14. > :02:18.terrific first half. The way they handled her in the second half

:02:19. > :02:22.speaks volumes of the manner of their performance. Talk about being

:02:23. > :02:28.good performance in Germany, being a mature one. There is a growing

:02:29. > :02:34.majority in the team. Bosnia made it very difficult for England. I think

:02:35. > :02:39.so, they will learn a lot of lessons from this. I think Gemma Davison was

:02:40. > :02:43.probably the talking point at half-time, how they could cope with

:02:44. > :02:51.her, and they have done much better. I thought the first half performance

:02:52. > :02:55.probably stood out. Rose from range. They worthy exercise for England to

:02:56. > :02:59.come up against teams like this in qualifying even if England haven't

:03:00. > :03:03.played their best and it has not been a very edifying spectacle. It

:03:04. > :03:09.is a win for him and that's how he'll treat it. It is a better

:03:10. > :03:14.exercise than winning 8-0, as they did in World Cup qualifying. Yeah,

:03:15. > :03:18.because you come into tournaments and it's much tougher, it's all

:03:19. > :03:22.about how you break down teams and do certain things. Competitive

:03:23. > :03:25.teams, it will be hard. They will be tired after this game because they

:03:26. > :03:29.have had to constantly try and create things, a lot of different

:03:30. > :03:34.movement. This is good for when they go into a challenge like the World

:03:35. > :03:38.Cup, or the European Championships. Jill Scott is turning into space,

:03:39. > :03:53.and still going. Wasn't a free kick. Her goal separates the teams.

:03:54. > :04:03.There will be three minutes of time added on. Can England get a second?

:04:04. > :04:06.Wasn't a good ball through. Sometimes they tried to thread the

:04:07. > :04:16.eye of the needle when there have been simple options. Bosnia are

:04:17. > :04:25.going to make another substitution. Alisa Spahic, nominally the

:04:26. > :04:29.attacking player today, being replaced by Piskic who started two

:04:30. > :04:38.of their last three qualifiers. A midfield player at a Sarajevo club.

:04:39. > :04:40.One of ten players from that side in this squad. Three minutes of

:04:41. > :05:14.stoppage time now. They have come here to nullify and

:05:15. > :05:26.negate. They have come to frustrate, and they've done it. Sluggishly

:05:27. > :05:31.trudging off. Disappointed that the referee let her have that time.

:05:32. > :05:35.Should have hurried her up. I think so. I think she was physically

:05:36. > :05:46.shattered, the amount of work she has put in. But it's time wasting as

:05:47. > :06:02.well. It slipped away from the Nobbs. The substitute now.

:06:03. > :06:09.England need to maintain their concentration, otherwise this could

:06:10. > :06:14.yet go horribly wrong. Interesting that coaches talk these days about

:06:15. > :06:23.players needing to perform for 95 minutes, not 90 minutes. Lovely

:06:24. > :06:24.exchange between Duggan and Nobbs. A good tackle from Hasanbegovic who

:06:25. > :06:37.has been excellent. At the end they have a free kick and

:06:38. > :06:49.they are going to make another change. Radeljic is going off, and

:06:50. > :07:02.Stanic is coming on. Another midfield player. Came on as a sub

:07:03. > :07:08.against Belgium at home in October. Poor delivery. Bassett with the

:07:09. > :07:15.header away. Aluko will be frustrated by today's events.

:07:16. > :07:25.High pressing therefrom was near. -- there from was near. Over the last

:07:26. > :07:30.few minutes they have stepped ten, 20 metres higher. The anxiety of the

:07:31. > :07:36.closing stages of games in Canada. England seemed to have games won and

:07:37. > :07:59.then slipped away. Substitution, Radonjic is going off. -- Radeljic.

:08:00. > :08:05.The assistant should be up the line here and saying, come on, away.

:08:06. > :08:10.There is a fourth official there too. It's quite interesting because

:08:11. > :08:17.she started jogging and the bench were saying, slowdown, slowdown. I

:08:18. > :08:24.interpreted that is what they were saying! Disappointing, though. If

:08:25. > :08:30.this is the extent of your ambitions. Going away with a 1-0

:08:31. > :08:48.defeat, but there you are. A different development stage.

:08:49. > :08:55.Well, it hasn't been the homecoming party that England expected, but it

:08:56. > :09:01.is a victory for Mark Sampson and that makes it two in two in this

:09:02. > :09:04.European qualifying campaign so far. The winning goal took a long time

:09:05. > :09:08.coming and it came from the substitute, Jill Scott. A

:09:09. > :09:10.frustrating night for England, but it's three points, beating Bosnia

:09:11. > :09:23.and Herzegovina. STUDIO: This is what Group 7 looks

:09:24. > :09:28.like now. England have played two and won two. They are second in the

:09:29. > :09:35.table. The next qualifier is at home to Belgium next April. 1-0, not what

:09:36. > :09:38.we expected, Kelly. Very difficult game for England, Bosnia made it

:09:39. > :09:41.extremely difficult, no interest in setting out to win the game,

:09:42. > :09:48.defensive display, 11th players behind the ball. Barnsley didn't

:09:49. > :09:52.have a shot to save. Frustrating but the three points is the main thing.

:09:53. > :09:56.Your thoughts on the England performance in their first time

:09:57. > :10:00.qualifier? Disappointing that we didn't get the goals that we

:10:01. > :10:04.expected but put it in perspective, the end of a long and successful

:10:05. > :10:11.season for these England players. This is the final game, they had won

:10:12. > :10:15.three days ago against Germany. It is a long and hard season, really

:10:16. > :10:20.wonderful and attractive football but today they grounded out and got

:10:21. > :10:24.the result. They got it thanks to Jill Scott who made an impact after

:10:25. > :10:29.coming on. We can have a look at her goal now. That's what you want from

:10:30. > :10:34.your substitutions, Mark Samson has said that, talking about being the

:10:35. > :10:38.impact player. Eni Aluko beating her player, and that's what Jill Scott

:10:39. > :10:45.does best, arriving late and guiding it into the back of the net. Duggan

:10:46. > :10:51.wants to get on the ball. Eni looks up and makes a little left footed

:10:52. > :10:54.cross and Jill Scott guided it in and the goalkeeper should have done

:10:55. > :10:59.better. That's what wanted, in the first half we had so many crosses

:11:00. > :11:03.but they weren't picking up players. The opposite this time and they got

:11:04. > :11:09.the reward. Should England have had a penalty before the goal? Possibly,

:11:10. > :11:13.one of those that will go down as, seen them given. It was a late

:11:14. > :11:17.challenge on Steph Houghton and it could have been a penalty, but we

:11:18. > :11:22.are clutching at straws if that's what we want to win the game. I

:11:23. > :11:25.don't think the referee was in the best position, she wasn't looking at

:11:26. > :11:29.contact and for me that wasn't a penalty. Jordan Nobbs in first,

:11:30. > :11:34.didn't she? She picked up an injury which limited her in the World Cup

:11:35. > :11:38.but she has been really impressive. Against Germany she was impressive

:11:39. > :11:45.and she is one of the few England players who tested the goalkeeper.

:11:46. > :11:48.The first half chance was good and she gets in space, a very clever

:11:49. > :11:52.player and she has a fantastic strike from distance. The kind of

:11:53. > :11:57.player that England doesn't have many of now that Kelly has retired!

:11:58. > :12:02.She is a key player and when Jordan Nobbs is playing she makes England

:12:03. > :12:09.tick, she plays one box to box, she never hides and she is a player to

:12:10. > :12:14.watch and play with. Frustrating for Eni Aluko who will be pleased that

:12:15. > :12:17.she was involved in the goal. First of all she started the match and

:12:18. > :12:21.that is something she will be pleased with, having had limited

:12:22. > :12:25.opportunities in the World Cup. She will go into the game wanting to

:12:26. > :12:30.make an impact, wanting to get two or three goals to finish the season

:12:31. > :12:34.on a higher. It didn't happen for her. But it was three points -- on a

:12:35. > :12:39.high. Three points, that's the message that Mark Samson will give

:12:40. > :12:44.to his team. Overall thoughts on the year that thing and have had

:12:45. > :12:48.including the World Cup? Wonderful, what a year, recognition across the

:12:49. > :12:51.world and in England, these players are now household names. It was in

:12:52. > :12:56.the performance we wanted after the World Cup but credit to the

:12:57. > :13:00.players, Mark Sampson. English women's football is on the map and

:13:01. > :13:04.long may it continue. They have a strong qualification campaign next

:13:05. > :13:10.year. Hopefully they can top the group and do well in the European

:13:11. > :13:19.Championships. 2015 has been about making history, it has put it on the

:13:20. > :13:24.map, it is here to stay and I can't wait for the rest of the qualifiers,

:13:25. > :13:27.seeing England getting silverware. Another one of our qualifiers,

:13:28. > :13:33.Scotland against Macedonia ended 10-0. Thank you to you and our

:13:34. > :13:37.former England international is, Kelly Smith and Rachel Brown Finis.

:13:38. > :13:42.The moral of the day is, don't get stressed when it is 0-0, just take a

:13:43. > :14:09.Jill pill. Being a British guy

:14:10. > :14:12.in 2015 is not easy.
