Bleazard, despite arriving late in preseason after Steve Cuss stepped down, has masterminded an unbeaten start for the Cherries in tier three.
Asked if she had half an eye on the ambition of promotion this season, Bleazard said she takes things game by game – and leaves that to others to take care of.
“The good thing is I've got a lot of people around me that can deal with all of those bits,” she told the Daily Echo.
“My job is to get the girls in a really good position. If we look at getting promoted this season because we've earned the right to be in those top two places, then great.

“But I think the way we are and the fact that we've got that unbeaten run going back two seasons, you're naturally going to have that stigma and attention to that.
“But we take it game by game. If we lose one game, one week, it doesn't matter, we’ll go and put it right the next week. So, yeah, it's just one of those, we take it week by week.”
She continued: “I think at the start of the season people are going, we want to be competitive in this league.
“Promotion is always going to be up there due to where we are currently in the league. But it's one of those that, like I said, I don't think too far ahead, but the players don't think too far ahead because each game is so competitive.
“You look at the games that we've drawn this season, Exeter and Plymouth, they've been really, really competitive games where we could have still won it, but we also could have lost it.
“So in terms of those, like I said, we take it week by week.
“The good thing is we have competitive games every week, so it keeps the squad just focused on that weekly piece rather than the monthly or six-monthly piece.”
