Cracking reply that, snide but typical Fact is, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the Lionesses these past few years; the standard of football is excellent and getting better all the time and unlike most of their male counterparts the players are a credit to themselves and their country England's absence from the Nations League finals and the Great Britain team from the Olympics as a result of tonight's results is deeply disappointing and yeah, it feels worse at the moment than a Rovers defeat because a Rovers defeat happens quite often and doesn't have the same consequences. There's always another game a few days later. So there you go: an explanation if that's what you wanted. Now you have a try .

Gutting, feels worse than a Rovers defeat

England men's v women's cricket, men v women at tennis, or rugby, boxing. It's irrelevant.

A daft and irrelevant question.

The only better draw for you would have been Rovers away to Cambridge. Lewis Travis captain for the day, what do you think ?

We're at our peak now IMO and it's unlikely to get better from here. The squad, the players, the manager are maxed out and with difficult fixtures coming thick and fast, there's no respite in this league.

The score line tells the story. We lost to the better team. The referee didn’t miss easy chances or give easy goals away

We were well beaten because we weren't good enough. Losers blame referees

Opponents of the women's game always point to goalkeeping standards yet in the men's game goalkeepers makes bad mistakes all the time. It's not unusual across the board; the Birmingham keeper in midweek was dreadful. Goalkeeping standards IMO are generally worse than they used to be and many of those currently playing first team football wouldn't have got past the reserve team years ago. Wahlstedt is one of them

Blaming the ref ..... last resort of a well beaten team

It's a long, long season and it's a tough league. The numbers (and quality) just aren't there

Our nice lads beaten by a load of alehouse footballers - again. A wake-up call really. You don't get in the playoffs with performances and results like that.

And 3-1 Dreadful performance. Spoilt the weekend after the excitement of England's win last night

2-1 down Losing to Sheffield bleeding Wednesday The curse of Mercer

About to post that horrible early goal was going to do us. Then we score!

Not really. But Rovers are

And the lifetime achievement award for dumbest comment goes to....

That's torn it....

We're missing Lewis Travis most though, don't you think?

Siggi being injured is actually a bonus - just don't rate the lad at all. The squad is down to bare bones and the team picks itself now because there's few alternatives. Even if no one else gets injured there's no scope for resting out of form players and changing the team for tactical reasons is out of the question. It's unsustainable and hopes of a top 6 finish likely to be dashed. Come on Rovers

I was behind the goal at the Den when Wahlsted (sp?) let one in through his fingers. Worse than anything I've seen in the women's game and far worse than Earps's blooper last night

It isn't poor, it's great to watch. The level of skill and nous and commitment on show at Wembley tonight was the equal of anything in the men's game. May I kindly suggest you open your eyes and your mind

Rather like the men's game then Actually you're wrong. The game was improved across all levels

They were too good for us though, "men against boys", according to their players

Brilliant game at Wembley tonight. Great England comeback Why people continue to denigrate the women's game is all wrong
