Aston Villa skipper Stiliyan Petrov insists there's no need for panic after their derby defeat to West Bromwich Albion.

Petrov believes Villa also need time to gel their new-look squad this season.

He said: "People forget we lost two valuable players [Young and Downing] in the summer and we've got new players.

"We've got a lot of young players that people say need to go straight into the team.

"Sometimes young players need time but they've been pushing, they've been trying.

"We all support them and we hope to start playing better and make the fans even happier."
