Up to date table after today's results.

[Blake]

It seems that once they go behind twice, they fall apart. It’s not a criticism, probably more of a mental and confidence issue, but I’m sure each player tried their best. Good luck to them in their next game.

[Robbie]

@Blake Northampton are a very good side at this level. They will probably be top four at season's end, however the score flattered them a little. 

Two of the goals were immediately after Notts substitutions & Notts had a few good chances to score themselves.

Notts are competing on a level playing field with approx six to seven sides. Those are the sides they need to beat & they've  already won two.

[Chris]

I am sure we will continue to see improvements, it's against the bigger teams where eventually we should see further signs of the squad becoming better. It takes time; nothing is lost if you don't push for better things.

There's no shame in losing the game, pleased for Pies' to get two goals.

i wish the womens pies all the best with their season, losing here and there is just football. i hope they can in time bridge the gap and eventually beat these teams they are currently finding hard.
