3-2 to Reading - Academy Graduate Tia Primmer soon after coming on as sub.

Sounds like Deanne Rose has been our main threat once again.

FT Brighton 2 Royals 3

[The Royal Forester]

2-0 up pegged back to 2--2 but still win 3---2. We should play them instead of the men. No one will notice will they? But. I suppose more fight, more confidence and better players and tactics will be noticed. Pity it's a non starter then.

WHEN AND WHERE DOES THE DRAW TAKE PLACE?
We will discover our fate on Monday 31 January at approximately 19:30 (UK), when the draw will be broadcast live on TalkSport 2’s Women’s Football Weekly show.

Will the womens team be scrapped when we are relegated? Can’t see how a third tier team can afford to run a woman’s team.

That would be a big concern of mine. However, does expenditure on the women's setup count against FFP? It really shouldn't in my mind. If it doesn't, then it would possibly come down to whether the owners would be prepared to finance the women's set up from their own very deep pockets. Unlike other owners, they do seem to have arms long enough to reach into those pockets!

Who knows, maybe the women's set up having facilities that the men could use would be another creative way around some of the FFP restrictions!

Shame we lost Frank Irby.

Got Nat Dowie though!

Could just use the management and coaching team. No rules against that!

Doesn’t count against ffp

Great result again today

Good idea. Pity Pauno doe not appear to have a garden that he could look after for six months.

You have to admire the boss, lost the first 4 games then won 6 of the next 7 to sit just 5 points outside the top 3. It`s unthinkable to think they could gate crash the party but they certainly have some winnable games coming up.

A chance to avenge that painful semi defeat a few years back.

Indeed- plus we have an injury list almost as impressive as the men !!
Rowe, Cooper, Mitchell, Chaplen, Peplow and Maloney.
