Notts County Women v Peterborough United

[Robbie]

It's Matchday. Notts Women face Peterborough at Coronation Park Eastwood at 2pm today.

It will be a tough match because Peterborough bare one of the four very strong teams in this league & they will be looking for promotion this season.

However, Notts have improved since last season with some excellent performances home & away.

[Robbie]

Notts lose by an odd goal in seven, but they can be so proud of their performance today, especially in the first half against a top side.

Notts were ahead until the 80th minute and gave Peterborough a right scare.

 

[Chris]

I feel for them, to lead and then to allow the game to shift the opposite direction. I thought Peterborough had a good team, but hoped ours would be able to see it out. At 3-2, I feared Peterborough had grown into the game.

[Robbie]

@Chris after Notts had taken a 3:0 lead, Peterborough scored almost immediately near to half time. They were always gone to come out all guns blazing & got the early second half goal.

Notts did well to hold them until the 80th minute then conceded a disputed penalty, that allowed the Posh to equalise.

The team will learn from this, but it does show how far they have come from last season.

[Robbie]

Latest League table. Peterborough are top. Notts in fifth place.

[Chris]

Still plenty to be played for, and seeing the team finish as high as possible is only a good thing in terms of seeing their growth. Improvements this season have been very good, so I am encouraged by that.

[Fan of Big Tone]

 I must pop and see the ladies one day.
