The Cube The Royal Forester Hound Look fairly comfortable in 4th. Slight shame they are so far from 3rd but seems to be a solid enough season
Considering who the top three are, it's puts us Best of the Rest. Man. City, Chelsea and Arsenal finish in the top three most (if not all) seasons.
It was so obvious who the top 3 should be that before the season started the BBC asked 6 pundits who would finish 4th. Two chose Reading, two Manchester United, two someone else (can't remember who, but probably Liverpool). If Bruton hadn't got injured I think we would be clearer in 4th. If we still had Earps we might have been able to challenge the top 3.
To be fair to Grace Moloney and Rachel Lawes, I can't think of many points that have been lost due to them - possibly Grace being sent off v Chelsea? Although IMO Jo Potter was also partly to blame for that situation and it would have been a great achievement to have got a point even with 11 players.
Unfortunately the team as a whole have been too inconsistent this season, losing and drawing games where they should probably have picked up wins had they played to the potential of the team and squad.
