On This Day
Villa play their fifth game in eight days after the League fixture scheduling debacle of their games in hand and play 24 hours after journeying to Newcastle.
Unsurprisingly Villa are forced to put out a 'reserve' team for the visit to Filbert Street with four first teamers missing.
Happily for Villa the undersrudies perform as George Brown hits five on his first appearance of the season
Villa put eight past Leicester at Filbert Street and have now scored three or more goals twelve times in twenty three games so far this season and five or more five times, seven twice and eight once..
Villa now have four clean sheets in 23 games so far in 1931-32
Villa make it twelve wins, four draws and seven defeats in twenty three division one games this season.
Villa climb back to joint third in the table as thoughts go to the impact those stupidly scheduled games in hand have had on Villa's season.
Villa sit three points off leaders Everton and one off Albion all having played the same amount of games.
