The mantra for Rehanna Skinner this season has been improvement, improvement, improvement. And for a team that viewed finishing fifth in the WSL last season as an exasperating disappointment, pre-season stirred plenty of ambitious billings for Manchester United and Tottenham to battle it out for top-three gate crasher status.
But midway through the season, it transpires that only Marc Skinner's side has managed to deliver on those predictions.
A 3-0 home defeat to Everton bookmarked Spurs’ league season until January 15, signalling their fourth successive league defeat without registering a single goal.
