00:00Birmingham City came into this one with a swagger.
00:06League champions, clear favourites, beaten Peterborough twice already.
00:11But football doesn't always follow the script.
00:14Instead it was Peterborough who turned up, scored two screamers and silenced the favourites.
00:20Blues looked flat, lacked bite, rarely threatened and when chances came they weren't taken.
00:26But does a bad day at Wembley really take the shine of a season where promotion's already in the bag?
00:33I asked fans whether the result dents the joy of a longer-weighted title win.
00:39I don't think Birmingham should be in that division in the first place, that's my honest opinion.
00:44So if I were a Birmingham fan I'd be a bit muted about any celebrations being in effectively the third division.
00:52Because Birmingham ought to be at least in the championship.
00:56I don't think so, no. It's to win a good season for them, isn't it, in terms of where they are.
01:00Champions of League One coming back up with an open promise for the championship.
01:04So I think it would have been cherry on the cake, but I think on its own still a good season.
01:10Perhaps a little bit of gloss, but I would have thought that the most important thing is getting promotion out of division one back to the championship.
01:20And for a club of that heritage and that stature, I think that's where they need to be and pushing up towards apprenticeship.
01:27Let's be honest, this wasn't a smash and grab. This was a game where Peterborough wanted it more.
01:35Better movement, more urgency, more belief. Birmingham struggled to break lines, missed the few chances they created and looked unsure once they fell behind.
01:45And while two brilliant goals decided it, there will be fans asking, was that a one-off or does it show where the cracks are?
01:53The sort of cracks that the championship will exploit. I asked fans whether this performance raises any concerns for the step up ahead.
02:03I think they struggle whenever I do see them. I think the change of management is a failing.
02:12I mean, they say, I think it was Eustace, was it? They sacked to bring Rooney in and Rooney lasted six weeks or something like that.
02:20It's just the owners need to take advice from people who live and breathe football.
02:26I don't think they did in the past and maybe it's the same today.
02:30I think there was, they had a lot of possession. I think it didn't result in a lot of great shots.
02:34So I think they've just got to maybe work a little bit in that final third, especially it's going to be tougher in the championship.
02:39So I think that's definitely where they need to consider how they're going to improve, I say.
02:43I think attention now turns towards playing in the premiership and, you know, that is a bare pit of a division.
02:49There's an awful lot of games to be played there.
02:52They'll obviously want to reconfigure the team and concentrate on that, building the team for next season.
03:00So we have to take that option.
03:01Click the next button.
03:02If I run back, click the next button.
03:03Click the next button.
03:04This button is going to be on a button.
03:05So I want to pick up that button.
03:06Go ahead and play.
03:07Go ahead and play.
03:08Let's see how many of the pieces are.
03:09What do you think?
03:10Here's the question.
03:11Here's the question.
03:12To the next one.
03:13So I think we're going to take a look at the next point.
03:15I think we're going to try to get a look at the next Nast пользовacher.
03:16Here's the question.
03:18I think that's the biggest points.
03:19We've got to take a look at the next level of seeing population.
