I think she's here for the short season only. They are mucking about switching the season to winter

Could be just what the team needs, an experienced player with composure and quality in the final third. If it is just short term I just hope the rest can learn from her.

Our ladies being kicked to shit by Reading. Awful officiating. I can't believe the ref has let so many things go and no booking for them. Absolutely disgraceful

Nick Cushing was really getting wound up by the ref in the first half and somehow held it together enough not to get dismissed. A very one sided game but I was even more frustrated by this than I was not being able to get in to watch the 18's in the morning.

Our finishing is so so bad it's scary.One of these days we will have a game with 90% possession, 84 shots on goal and lose 1 nil. Forget the penalty miss as that can happen.The keeper dived the right way and it was a perfect height but I always worry about pens where there isn't much of a run up.

The miss just after by Nikita Parris had to be seen to be believed. Remember Silva's goal away at WHU where he had time to stop the ball and then side foot in.For Keets it was similar in that the keeper was trying to get back across goal but she had so much time and so much of the goal to aim at but somehow , on her weak foot, she miss kicked and the ball rolled slowly to the keeper.

To be fair their keeper had a good day, that is till the goal which she should save 100 times out of 100. But she didn't and we got through.

Jill Scott had one after the goal where she had about 80% of the goal to score in but somehow kicked it straight at their keeper down by the post.It hit the inside of her left foot and flew across the line and just the wrong side of the post. We are so poor or maybe just average in that final third it's a worry.

A different day with decent finishing and today was 5 nil
