READING TOTTENHAM

- VERDICT: 6th KEY PLAYER: Natasha Dowie VERDICT: 4th

They have lost key midfielder Fara Williams, however – she retired this summer at the age of 37 – and manager Kelly Chambers will find it difficult to replace the ex- England internatio­nal with similar quality. But the acquisitio­n of 33- year old forward Natasha Dowie looks like a smart one.
