Peterborough United 2 Shrewsbury Town 1

  Yesterday was a very frosty day and Posh were one of the few teams in the are who managed to keep their game on and that was after two pitch inspections. In fact when I got on the train to go there, there was no guarantee that the game was on, but fortunately it was, so I was able to buy tickets on the phone while I was on the train and pop into the Blind Tiger for a pre-match pint.

Peterborough are currently second in the league and this has been mainly down to their attacking play. They have sured up the defence too by signing Jed Steer in goals. He surely should already be playing in the Championship! Shrewsbury on the other hand are lower mid-table and are known for their spoiling tactics to stay in games.

This game started off as expected with wave after wave of Peterborough attack and resolute and tenacious defending from Shrewsbury. However, it was the visitors who went in ahead at the break. Jordan Shipley scoring a well taken goal after a poor clearance on 41 minutes.

Posh came out more resolutely in the second half. Joel Randall got an early equaliser on 51 minutes and a headed shot Josh Knight on 68 minutes. It was a good performance by Posh and the result doesn't tell the true story of their dominance.
