The regular season is over, and NJ/NY Gotham FC is about to begin their third NWSL Playoffs in a row when the postseason begins this upcoming weekend. Now, the Bats did not have the greatest end to the season, winning just once in their last six NWSL matches. It did not help that the Bats lost 3-2 to the North Carolina Courage on Decision Day.
As a result of their recent poor form, Gotham FC has gone from a top-four team a few matches ago to ending the season in eighth place. In other words, they ended the year in the last playoff position.
