CURRENT FORM: I am 18 years old and have always followed Posh. I remember when I was about 11, my uncle took my brother and I to our first game.
He seems to remember Posh winning, but I don't know. I started to go regularly last season really. I went to every home game. The reason I got interested was friends, and they are my local team obviously!

I am not currently a season ticket holder
and I sit in the Norwich and Peterborough family stand with my brother. So far I have managed all home games, I made it to my first away game last week.

Pre-match: Generally on match days my brother and I leave home around 1.30pm but on Saturday I went with my brother, my boyfriend and his dad so left around 12.30pm.

We had to go to the ground first so my brother could get his shirt, but then walked over to the Cherry Tree for a couple of drinks. I was looking forward to the game as I always do.

Half-Time Report: The first half, I feel, didn't start off too well at all.

Half of the team looked asleep. Morgan definitely made a few errors, as did Paul Coutts, although he is a young lad.

We did, however, have a shot on target very early on in the first half but then conceded a goal.

Again, Rendell was put on the pitch, I personally don't like him, he may as well have not been there in all fairness.

After going 2-0 down, 'Makka' scored for us just before half-time, cheering Posh fans up. At half-time I was talking to my brother, boyfriend and other Posh fans about the game.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere wasn't bad. Tranmere fans started off in good voice but the Posh supporters eventually dominated in that department. I think we should have backed the boys in voice as much as possible.

Full Time: I feel that Posh should have, yet again, secured three points. Once a couple of changes had been made (Rendell off!), we had a couple of good chances through Shaun Batt. Again though I feel our defence needs a look at, although Gabriel Zakuani is very good. I like his style of play, there really is no nonsense from him. And he levelled for the point too.

I won't say I was disappointed, although a draw is more frustrating when you know the team are capable of winning.

Overall matchday rating: 8
Posh fans: 8
Their fans: 2
