Peterborough United Women's boss calls for more ruthlessness from his side ahead of the visit of Derby County
Peterborough United Women’s manager Jake Poole has urged his side to be more ruthless when Derby County visit PIMS Park for a National Northern Premier Division game on Sunday (2pm kick off).
Posh and Derby both have three points from their opening four league game so a tight contest is expected.
Poole said: “Derby are a good side, like every team at this level, but we go into the game with confidence because we have been competitive in the fixtures that we have played, particularly at PIMS Park.
"We are creating a lot of opportunities in front of goal so it is about being ruthless in both boxes and if we can do that, then we will be a team that can cause problems at the level.”
Top scorer Ellie May will look to continue her hot streak. The striker signed from West Bromwich Albion in the summer has six goals in all competitions. She said: “We know that we need points and there is a real hunger and desire in the group to get them.”
Hayley James and Courtney Clarke remain absent through injury, but Evie Driscoll-King could return after missing last weekend’s unlucky loss at home to Loughborough Students.
