    14 Dec: Watford, home, FA Cup round 3. At the Valley. £7 adult, £5 over-65, £2 under-18. Tickets from usual website.
    21 Dec: Nottingham Forest, home, 2pm. At the Valley. £7 adult, £5 over-65, £2 under-18. Tickets from usual website.
    28 Dec: Winter break (week 1 of 2)
    4 Jan:     Winter break (week 2 of 2)
    11 Jan: Ipswich Town, away, 2pm. At Colchester United FC. £10 adult, £8 concession, £5 under-18, £2 under-11. Tickets from here.

    If you have a ST for the women's team and buy your FA Cup ticket from the website it will be half price.

    For the Ipswich game, you can choose to sit with the home fans (blocks 3 to 6) or away (block 7) by clicking a link on the website. Looks like under-11s get in free if they don't outnumber the accompanying adults. A note on the website defines "concession" as senior or disabled, but doesn't say what age senior is.

    Still in the driver's seat and that's what counts. Match everyone else's points tally from here on out and we're up. 

    Drop 6 points or less and we're up too (based on teams that still have to play eachother can't both win, and can't both overtake us) and that number is based on the 2 teams immediately below us winning every game from now until the end of the season, a huge ask

    Just got back.

    Agree with the other comments - we started well, Lucia Lobato doing brilliantly to step in and win the ball, take it forward and hit it low into the corner, and we were very much on top. Then one mistake from Elisha N'Dow gave them a corner which went straight in, and we never regained that dominance. The second half was painful to watch, as we could hardly string two passes together and created nothing until a goalmouth scramble from a corner right at the end. I get that the conditions were terrible, but we can't use that as an excuse.

    I assume we only played Charlotte Newsham on the left because Gracie Pearse wasn't available, and we definitely won't get the best out of her or Jodie Hutton doing that. They linked up brilliantly at one point in the first half, but otherwise neither had anything close to their best game for us. On the plus side, I thought Gloria Siber did well at right-back, and Kiera Flannery had a good game in central midfield. But we still struggle to create chances, and if Karin Muya is on the end of them, as she was a couple times today, then her powderpuff shots are unlikely to seriously trouble any keeper. Likewise Amalie Thestrup - when she was through on goal early in the second half, I never had any confidence she could pull away from the defenders and get a clean shot away.

    As Swindon_Addick says, the Forest game on 21 December is big. Let's hope playing a better team brings out the best in us, as it often has this season.
    Karin Muya was top scorer at London City Lionesses and a fee was involved in her transfer. She is a striker not a winger.

    Amalie Thestrop is being played in the wrong position. She is another striker.

    We never seem to attack down the middle.

    Karen's tactics might be OK if the players on the wings could actually cross the ball. Even worse overhit corners.

    Getting an early single goal and trying to defend it is a risky process as it proved yesterday.
