Well what a poor performance allround
We where lucky it was not 6-8 goals went into our net,
Steer made 4 big saves yet we offered next to nothing,
I have said the young kids should be given more game time and I still do
This was a typical villa performance
Against lower opposition
They were all over us for most of game and if I was the manager I would be ashamed of our display,
Can't say much more than roll on notts forest, ,

It felt like a pre season game.

After that the youngsters should be kept as far away from the first team as possible, and take Bjarnsson and Onomah with them. Davis is a one trick pony and isn’t good enough, Bree isn’t a centre back so would be unfair to slate him, De Laet awful, Bjarnason back to being shocking, Onomah can go back to Spurs he’s played well once or twice the rest he’s awful, O’hare is lively but that’s about it, lacks a killer instinct and a bit lightweight but that can be taught with time so I’d keep him around the first team, Hepburn Murphy is quick but was shooting from stupid positions when we was chasing the game. Really poor, one less thing to worry about but could of done with a win to keep confidence high. It does highlight the need for reinforcements especially a striker, Davis doesn’t have a strikers instinct, should of scored a tap in if he followed hourihanes ball across the 6 yard box - which 90% of strikers around the country would of done.

Chris I agree with most points. The youngest need be brought on as subs tho in games give them a chance to bed in.
Onomah have say can't stand him probably the most over rated youngster we have had on loan.
Defo need a forward. 2 injury prone forward and a young lad with 2 much pressure on his shoulders.
And still say like I've said all season Bruce out. People bang on about his championship record but his prem one ain't great is it.
Roll on forest not looking forward to it now.

First half we were poor and Peterborough were by far the better team and if not for steer we could have conceded 4 goals.
So you would expect a better performance in the second half?
We got even worse and they totally outplayed us,
Embarrassing is to kind a word for this performance,
Giving the ball away the norm!
Bruce come out with the statement that he made to many changes!
He says hindsight is a wonderful thing,
How many games now has he said these comments,

Chris
I think Steve Bruce should be kept well away from the team as well,
No sign of any tactical change to combat Peterborough in game what so ever,

Peterborough were deserved winners. Had it not been for Steer making 3 outstanding saves in the 1st half and a couple in the 2nd it could (and should) have been 5 or 6!
The positives: De Laet and O’Hare were decent and Steer was outstanding. But that’s about it.
Too many negatives? Far too many to list, Davis was absolutely shocking. A truly horrendous performance from him. Onomah ineffectual. Taylor simply awful.
Bruce’s substitutions were too late in the game and replaced the wrong players. How the hell did Davis stay on ahead of O’Hare!?!?
Utterly embarrassing day.

Mainbob you moan and moan Bruce should play the kids, then say he should be sacked for not playing them. Then he plays the kids, we lose, and now he should be sacked? He can’t win with you, your clutching at straws, the players let us down today no one else, they gave Peterborough chance after chance, they were slow on the attack, didn’t seem arsed one bit and looked generally uninterested. Stop looking for the weirdest excuses just to blame Bruce, the players were the problem today and that’s that.

Terrible performance but must be put into the context that this was a Villa B Team except for Hourahane. Out of the starting 11 only he would start next league match. Even JT off still so with everything about promotion am not too disappointed by the performance of those 11 chosen. Positives were that Jed Steer performed well, O'Hare showed some signs of a good potential sub for league games. Thought Onomah however has continued his appalling form and the rest were no up to standard needed for first team. As for Bruce he knew what he was doing fielding the B side and using it for warm up matches for JT and the very absent today Green. Treated like researves and showed no respect for Posh nor the FA Cup. This makes him no different to most managers of bigger clubs today sadly for us the fans and for the demise of the most prestigious cup competition in the world UTV!
