Each month I will conduct a Twitter poll to let people vote on the Player of the Month. I will pretend to consider input from this poll then award the honor precisely to who I think deserves it.

There were 3 matches in September with Racing only winning a single point. That makes the player of the month a tough call. Since I have no really strong feelings about a player for this month, I will go with the winner of the Twitter poll, Emily Fox.

Emily has been good all season (although she did have a rare substandard performance against Houston). Her switch to right back from left back was a notable occurrence in September. Her flexibility has been a strength for the team, but I hope that next season finds her in a more permanent role.

In case you are wondering who my personal choice was, it was CeCe Kizer. CeCe had the top rated performance according to Fotmob in 2 of the 3 matches. I'm not quite sure why I didn't just award the Player of the Month Award to Ms. Kizer other than my general indifference to the performances in September. The lesson here is that next time I should probably just ignore the Twitter poll.
