The most frustrating afternoon in the last few weeks came on April 7 when they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to relegation-threatened Queens Park Rangers.
Bottom-club Rangers hit the front after just nine minutes, when Sophie Fogarty collected Elly Magg's cross, before finishing emphatically.

It was a lead they would cling on to until the latter stages of the contest, as the visitors went in search of a second away win in succession.
However, parity was restored with 78 minutes on the clock, courtesy of midfielder Lindsey Morgan's sixth goal of the campaign.
Sadly a winner was not forthcoming and as the final whistle echoed around the ground, West Ham's winless sequence in the league stood at four, which included a defeat against Reading.
Ironically, the point lifted the Hammers into third but saw them lose further ground at the top.
With frontrunners Millwall Lionesses and second-placed Reading both winning, both have built a considerable points total clear of West Ham with only a few games remaining.
On Sunday, the Hammers travel to Colchester, who are sitting comfortably mid-table, in their next FA Women's Premier League Southern Division fixture.
The last time the sides squared up in the league they drew 1-1. This clash came shortly after ‘Col U’ dumped the Ladies out on the County Cup on February 17, beating them 1-0 in the semi-final.
The Ladies next home game is against Yeovil Town on April 28. It’s a 2pm kick off at Thurrock FC.
