Hayley Ladd - heads in from setpiece and we're 2-1 up
Don't know. It wasn't obvious how it happened and she looked bad coming off. Worrying that.Damn what happened? I stepped away only to come back and see Lucy limp off in great pain
Something happened when she tried to cross it to Galton i think. Does not look good, the tears indicate she knows it could be long termDon't know. It wasn't obvious how it happened and she looked bad coming off. Worrying that.
You thinkCasey doesn't like the ref
Combination of things - we've more depth in midfield now and Ella Toone has been in excellent form, plus our attacking options are so good that we're playing 3 forwards more or less every match. Unfortunately Katie got covid a while back which basically knocked her out of the team for a month. We've not played enough matches since then for her to really get the chance to play herself back into the starting lineup.Zelem has been on the bench for a while. I follow but don't watch the woman's team, has she just been surpassed by people like toone?
Toone plays as an AM while Zelem is a CM. As a CM, Zelem doesn't offer enough defensively when compared to Ladd (who I think is the only one in the squad who can play that DM kind of role). The other CM slot is taken by Groenen, who is fantastic from a creativity perspective.Zelem has been on the bench for a while.

Like I said to someone on one of the Women's Instagram posts, Reading have been our Bogey team since our reformation, they beat us in the League Cup at our first sold out home game of the season, then we had a poor game against them in the FA Cup where they scored instantly after we took the lead and won it in Extra time. We beat them on our turf last season thanks to goals from Hanson and Sigsworth but the return fixture was tarnished by the ref which cost us 3 points. They were never going to be an easy team to beat just like Chelsea, Arsenal and City.@ImmortalJoker66 and @SuperLJ were right with their prediction in the last matchday thread that it will be a tough match......i thought Reading wouldn't give us serious problems and we will get easily the 3 points.
I have said after our last match that "ugly wins" are important too to reach the next level but our performances must improve in 2021.
