How good will it be having this man back on the grass for the run-in, the midfield general, the playmaker, the type of player every successful team needs at the helm, orchestrating, dictating the tempo, let’s hope he’s not too far away from returning to the fray #askwxm #wxmafc #wxmthirstsection
A little "behind the scenes" peak into my favorite hour of every week.... What I see when filming @wxmcoffeematchup.bsky.social with @labolognina.bsky.social - new episode (33!) coming very soon! #askwxm #wxmafc #wxmthirstsection
It's wasn't too long ago when losing to Swansea 1-2 would've been a good result.
Thanks to @finalwhistle.bsky.social, Lucy and the #WxmAFCwomen for an incredible season!
POTM Francis-Jones
Up the Champion Reds!

Egg hunt complete! Happy to see Erin Lovett starting today. Don't sweat that goal, we always flood the keeper in the 2nd half

🧤 ARTHUR OKONKWO: 9.1%
Respectfully… this could’ve been 4. Big saves, big moments, and just constant reassurance behind the chaos. When the game gets stupid, he gets calm. We love that.

Aww. AltText got truncated. Here's the tie for 3rd place.
⚡ LEWIS O’BRIEN: 9.1%
Pulling strings, linking everything, quietly running the show while others get the headlines. You need players like this if you’re going to pull off nonsense like this.

First half? Yeah… not great. Bit scrappy, bit messy, and then suddenly we’re 1-0 down thanks to a Dobson own goal. One of those where you just stare at the screen like "cool, cool, that’s how today’s going then." Then it gets worse. Penalty. 2-0. Josh Maja sends it home and you can practically feel The Hawthorns settling in for a comfortable afternoon. Script written. Game done. Except… no. Second half starts and something shifts. Not dramatic at first, just a bit more intent, a bit more bite. Then 47’… Josh Windass. Out of nowhere. Hits it clean, game suddenly alive. 2-1. And you can see it, that little crack in the door. From there it’s pressure. Not perfect, not pretty, but persistent. Balls into the box, second balls, chaos building. Then 62’. George Dobson. From cartoon villain to redemption arc in under 40 minutes. Right place, right time, buries it. 2-2. Game completely flipped on its head. And after that? It’s not control. It’s survival. Okonkwo making saves. Bodies on the line. Corners, blocks, last-ditch everything. 30+ minutes of "please just don’t do anything stupid." And somehow… we walk out of there with a point. From 2-0 down. Away. That’s not luck. That’s character. 👑 GEORGE DOBSON: 40.9% Own goal first half. Equaliser second. That’s cinema. That’s storytelling. Also quietly everywhere: tackling, second balls, doing the dirty work and writing his redemption arc in real time. Main character behaviour. 🔥 JOSH WINDASS: 22.7% His goal changes everything. Timing immaculate. Also just the kind of performance that feels… dangerous. Like something might happen every time he’s near the ball. ⚡ LEWIS O’BRIEN: 9.1% Pulling strings, linking everything, quietly running the show while others get the headlines. You need players like this if you’re going to pull off nonsense like this. 🧤 ARTHUR OKONKWO: 9.1% Big saves, big moments, and just constant reassurance behind the chaos. When the game gets stupid, he gets calm. We love that.
2-0 down away at West Brom… and we just said “nah.”
Windass sparks it, Dobson completes his redemption arc, and we walk out with a point and our dignity intact.
The Thirst-O-Meter? Broken.
See #AltText for how we absolutely refused to die.

Oh this one… this is pure, unfiltered Dobson chaos energy and we are absolutely here for it. Mid-stride, body fully committed. You can see everything working at once. That forward lean isn’t accidental, it’s momentum driving through him, like he’s already halfway into the next action before anyone else has processed the last one. Arms out wide, palms up, part celebration, part “are you not entertained?”, part WTAF. Just owning the moment. And physically? Built exactly how you’d want for that role. Thick through the legs. Thighs doing serious work, properly loaded from constant tackles, presses, second balls. Calves tight and defined, holding that balance as he pushes off the turf. That planted foot is doing all the stabilising while the other’s mid-swing, studs just off the ground. It’s controlled aggression in motion. Core engaged the whole time. You can see it in how upright he stays even while moving at pace. No flailing, no wasted movement. Everything’s compact, efficient, purposeful. Upper body slightly twisted as he gestures, which just adds to that sense of tension and energy, like he could snap straight back into a sprint or a challenge in a heartbeat. And the face? Mouth open, shouting, not just celebrating, commanding. That’s a man who’s dictated the tempo, thrown himself into everything, dodging a booking for his troubles, and still has the energy to demand more. Hair tied back, shirt stretched across the frame of him, socks dragged tight over calves that have absolutely been through it. It’s not polished, it’s not pretty… …it’s relentless. MOTM not because he was flashy because he was everywhere, all at once, and impossible to ignore.
2-0 down → didn’t fold. That matters.
Scored immediately after halftime → mentality shift.
Dobson redemption arc → football heritage.
Point away at West Brom → we take that every day.
If this is how we respond to going behind…
Yeah. This team is ours.
