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

[JUAN PABLO]

No wonder Barry Fry thinks Bruce should be manager of Manchester Utd and we are lucky to have him.

[Jon Crofts]

Pull the trigger Tony, this clown isn't up to the job.

He isn't getting sacked for going out of a competition we have next to no chance of winning. Same as when we had our awful cup results under Lambert.

Oh we'd best pack up then seeing as we can't win anything, that worked wonders at Leicester.

When we get back established in the premier league we can look to win the FA cup.

I'm just not sure how anyone can look at it now as that.

Last season Brighton lost at Lincoln. Newcastle lost 3-0 at Oxford. Doubt any of their fans cared at the end of the season.

When we get back established in the premier league, ha ha good one.

[Axl Rose]

Fucking pathetic. It really, truly is. All this talk about how much the cup means to him and he sends out a team to be conservative home against lower league opposition. And saying how it was "Peterborough's big day out" didn't help either.

I was just thinking the last thing we need right now is a replay. Now I'm thinking we really need a replay.

the team looked good enough on paper thou , Its the way Bruce sets up his bloody team

There was absolutely no need to play KD up front on his own at home vs lower league opposition.

This. Davis needs supporting, not left to flounder alone.

Bruce is a rubbish manager, I've never liked him, and never will. This kind of result just sums him up.

But fair play to Peterborough, it sounds like they thoroughly deserved it. We just sounded pedestrian and drab. But what's new really.

[Toronto Villa]

Probably thought with Jimmy Danger, Gabby and Hogan all injured we can't afford to risk getting other forwards injured as the league is the important one. Still pissed off with the result though.

Or he could have started with two up front and brought one of them off if the game was secure.

[NorthYvillan]

He will spin this now as he gave squad players a chance and they let him down.

Well he did....and they obviuosly have

[littleoldme]

Ffs.

[mr underhill]

on paper that side was strong enough to win and yet again we played like rank amateurs. Only Villa can put you through this type of shit.

like most of the season even with the first teamers

‘We’ve had a horrible one.  It just shows you what this league is like anyone can beat anyone. It’s that sort of league.  I suppose it’s crisis time at Villa again this week is it. Off with me Head.  Look congratulations to Peterborough they’re a very very good side.  I’ve got nine injuries and my cap’in is only back for the first time since November.   We move onto next week.’

‘But steve they aren’t in our league and this was the cup.’

‘I suppose it’s crisis time again at Villa is it?’

[Toronto Villa]

Or he didn't trust them enough and sent them out tactically conservative and we ended up playing most of the praying they didn't score. And once they did they just kept attacking. And scoring.

[Stu]

61 years and counting.

[JUAN PABLO]

bjork can feck off to Italy now please

[Boz]

It's not an ok thing for us to lose to Peterborough at home in the cup, no matter how you choose to sugar it.

Agreed, a good win against Bristol was just one game, Bruce doesn't seem capable of producing a team who can be consistent over many games, except perhaps for a team who is regularly inconsistent

[Jimbo]

Unprepared, complacent, arrogant Villa given yet another lesson by lower league opposition. Thoroughly deserved too.

[Chris Jameson]

At least we can all enjoy the royal wedding now.
