I’m going to my first ever ladies game today as my daughter wanted to go. What’s the deal with the Heineken bar outside the east stand is that open for ladies matches and the jazz cafe I assume that will be open?

‘Defending’ just like the men’s team. Non-existent!

Supersub!

Brighton on the ropes and looking awful defensively.

Can win this as long as we cut out silly mistakes at back. Has an imposter stolen Grace's place? She's looking really shaky today, so unlike her.

F-T 2-2 Will have to get a result at Leicester next Sunday !!

WIll have to defend far better than today if we are going to stand a chance of doing so. Brighton should've really beaten us today the way we kept gifting them superb chances with some absolutely shocking defending. They pretty much missed two open goals as we decided to play like we were in a circus ring rather than on a football field.

The point today will be vital. If we get at least a point there next week, think we’ll be pretty much safe!!

Leicester are just as bad at the back. The cup game in Jan could have ended 5-5 AET. Both teams were giving away chances for fun!

I think today was about the worst I've seen them defend and unusually and worryingly Grace Moloney appeared to be all over the shop. Her decision making was really poor, helped cost us one goal and nearly a couple more. I don't know what she was thinking when she made that good save down low but then as a striker and defender both slid in to try and get the ball, allowed it to travel through her legs and then failed to dive to grab it with her hands, instead waiting until she could kick it, which she just managed to do in time. Even had our defender touched the ball, there is no way that it could have been construed as a back pass with both defender and striker sliding in together trying to get something onto the ball.

When she went down injured towards the end of the game she looked really pale so I wonder whether she was unwell today but still wanted to play.

If they play to their full abilities and potential then the team should be capable of getting something from the Leicester, Everton, Villa and Tottenham games. Would be fantastic if they could get Deanne Rose back in time to play some part in the Everton game.

Villa are quality- that match will be really difficult- i would expect Rose to play a part next Sunday.

You go to the games don’t you RB. My first game today can I ask is the woman with the drum always there at the top of the east. If so I’m never going again

Sorry, can't help. I have to admit that I've been relying on FA Player and TV this season. Wycombe was closer and a lot easier for me and I didn't have to pay a tenner just to park!

Thought Grace was as ok, defensive shape was poor in the first half - we kept leaving 2 on 1 on the back post (leading to both goals).

Evans, who whenever I’ve seen her before has been superb, looked utterly lost today. Harries was a real threat for the first 15 minutes she was on but the looked blown and was dropped back into midfield (a waste).

Troelsgaard did well to avoid a booking for the near constant abuse she directed at the (poor) assistant ref.

As with most games I’ve seen from us this season we only seem to turn up after we’ve gifted the opposition some goals. We really seem to lack pace and definitely miss Fara in the centre of the park. Why do we set up with 3 up top?
