Villa gain swift revenge for their Christmas Day defeat at Saltergate as they record their biggest win of the season to hit Chesterfield for six and make it five wins in the last seventeen second tier games and an overall record of nine wins, eight draws and six defeats in twenty three division two matches.

Jimmy McMullan had recorded five wins, five draws and three defeats in his thirteen division two matches in charge and his successor Jimmy Hogan had now delivered four wins, three draws and three defeats in his ten game spell.
