Aston Villa v Peterborough Utd (FA Cup) - Match Thread

[UK Redsox]

Very lucky to go in one up

Posh have created far more chances

Couple of great saves by Steer

[PaulWinch again]

Sounds disappointing since the goal.

[Nastylee]

TBF, with ten changes you cannot make any comparison to the previous game. It's a fitness exercise for most of them and if we get through then it's a bonus.

If we manage to win at home to Peterborough in the FA Cup it's no more than a bonus?

Crikey.

[VILLA MOLE]

Why can we not get any momentum

Is this Bruce's view of the cup, not important compared to the league, or a case of underestimating Posh?

Steer's performance sounds like a bonus, he'll probably drop a clanger now I've said that.

It's gone a bit flat last 20 minutes. Balance isn't right, but you get disjointed performances sometimes with rusty players and a group whose not played before.

We need to be quicker at closing in the final third of our half and move that ball quicker.

I'd bring Callum central.

If we played our best team then I am sure we'd be comfortable. As is it, we playing a combination of players coming back from injury, players that have had little game time or kids. It was hardly going to be a coherent display and tbh I don't really care. A cup run is not what we really need with other priorities.

Where is Callum playing then? Can’t tell on the radio

We had been zipping it around finding space quite nicely first 20 minutes. We've just lost O'Hare out the game and started taking too many touches and feeding through Green who has been very poor.

[Ads]

He's wide right.

[Bad English]

AJ Auxerre won 1-5 and Schiltigheim had one disallowed. Meanwhile in the Villa dressing room, Bruce is planning a Total Football Tiki-Taka trouncing of the Posh.

[achilles]

What formation are we playing and what players where?

[SoccerHQ]

Priority this month has to be six points.

I'd like to win a few rounds of the cup but reality is we'll be battered once we draw a decent premier league team.
